| Does being/becoming overweight influence relationships? Posted: 1/14/2008 4:30:19 PM |
I don't disagree about the boths sides, but a man can't help if he balds but he can watch his weight.
Interesting quote actually. Because, I can't gain weight ( oh poor me )....and I exercise regularly. I have a body that is better than most 20 years olds. Tight as hell. I'm 6'3", 175lbs.
But, I CAN do something about my baldness, and I plan to when I have the money. To my utter shock, a friend of 3 years revealed to me he was wearing a piece. I was floored. | |

You claim to have once "loved" this woman and now because she has gained some weight you now feel nothing for her? You need to do HER a favor and get out of this relationship if you can't somehow find a way to accept her for who she is. She is still the same woman you married in the inside and unless the vows you all exchanged are in some way different, did they not contain the phrase, "for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, till DEATH do you part?" If so and you still feel this way about her then you are not in love with her and you have an issue that needs to be resolved professionally. Again, do HER a favor and let her go if you don't feel the same way for her as you claim you ONCE did! She deserves better than having someone around that will not love and support her the way she deserves to be. | |

Posted: 1/14/2008 5:38:58 PM | if I may put my 2 cents worth in the pot.ur so full of crap the whites in ur eyes r brown probably.she,ur wife,knows the same as the rest of us women,not teenagers,that u r only on here posting this pathetic post to win sympathy from u guessed it,another woman.oh pitiful me,u sound like a talking dog that needs to be put back on his leash till he can learn to show some loyalty.she is probably gaining weight to also make u stay the heck away as i am almost 100% sure she has taken her vows to mean just u for life but is probably also concerned to the point of being worried that u have brought something home with u that noone wants or needs and something u can't get rid of even with antibotics but also might be one of the really nasty ones that doesn't show up for a few yrs.this is my opinion and i am running for president. | |

Wether it be due to genetics, a long family history of overweight people, or hormones, or a stress response, or just a dozen of Tim Hortons best each day. Gaining weight is almost never a good thing.
It is the exposure to the figures of beauty that have us set our desires so high. So high as to be unatainable to a somewhat average individual. Thus the diet industry and a lot of the others.
To keep people yearning, keeps them spending, a by product is increasing disatisfaction. Add to that the pair bonding function not lasting a lifetime of today and presto, divorce. | |

Posted: 1/16/2008 2:12:13 AM | My dime's worth: Our society has come to the point where if an individual isn't "perfect" financially, physically and mentally...that person isn't wanted. We put so much stigma on those who are overweight that they have difficulty meeting, or holding on to someone. Not only do we put stigma on overweight people, we also make jokes about it and draft up cartoons. This, folks, is WRONG! We should NEVER make light about someones physical problem. This is very discourteous and heartless.
In a situation where one, or the other is putting on the pounds...it's only fair to sit down, talk about this and try to discover a solution. Walking out is the "easy ticket", but it's just not right. You married that person "for better, or for worse". Stick to your marriage vows no matter what! | |
