So you’re saying your wife being fat gives you a green light to screw around....and you’re what, Gorgeous George?

And how did she gain that weight?
Birthing your babies?
Fixing all those meals you like?
Stopping what she was doing to sit with you and watch a movie?
Not taking time for herself making sure everyone in the house was being cared for?

Eating out of depression because she realized what a huge mistake her marriage was and what a shallow jerk she’d married?

I wasn't talking about me. However, some men find fatness completely repulsive.... some men don't. Just as women find some traits in particular repulsive (like perhaps spitting and farting) and an immediate turn off, some men can't find a women attractive if she is fat. Some things don't work in a man if they find something repulsive. Women have a little more flexibility in that regard.

You can't blame someone for finding something a huge turn off as everyone does have their preferences. But you can put some blame on a spouse that has not kept themselves as fit as their spouse. And just because one is raising the kids, and so forth, does not justify eating more calories than one needs. Thats just a pathetic cop out. You can't gain weight from air. Eat less, lose weight. Its that simple.

Preach it sister! I heard a male aquaintance tell his wife (my friend) that if she ever gained more than 10 lbs. he would divorce her. He was ‘heart attack’ serious. The sad thing was she was rail thin, always had been. Last I had heard he divorced her over their son being born with Down’s Syndrome. Some guys have no character.
