Say your significant other has gained weight

Pompoms after being exposed to sunlight?

at least he didn't say "Give her AIDS! LoLlOlLOlLLl"

That's a pretty valid tactic though.

Eh, I probabably wouldn't say anything until she asks, then I'd say maybe a little bit, but there's nothing wrong with that.

I'd probably try to get us BOTH on some kind of exercise routine.

As to what to say to her, it would eventually come up and take care of itself. She would most certainly KNOW if she's gaining weight, and she would most certainly know that I know.

If one person is in great shape and the other isn't, you have to ask what factors play into that. Is she busy raising three kids while you're at the gym or out rock climbing with your friends? Does she have time to exercise?

If the answer is that she's simply lazy or "putting it off", then I'd find a way to respectfully get that across. But if it's because she simply doesn't have the time, well then that'd be partly my fault.

And I don't consider it to be "shallow" to want your partner to remain physically fit. You don't put your standards away JUST because you're married. If anything, those standards become MORE important if you're to remain faithful, as your partner has to keep your interest over the long haul. Physical intimacy and attraction are the most primal (and basic) of requirements in order for ANY romantic relationship to work. If someone is no longer physically attractive to his or her partner, the romance dies, period. end of story.

my wife's weight hasn't changed more than 3 pounds in either direction in the ten years i've known her, and she doesnt really work to hard at keeping it down, either. i think she's got one of those "locked in" metabolisms.

It happens. My mom found her wedding dress 25 years after the fact...and still fit into it fine. She hasn't gained more than 10 lbs since her teens, I swear. She finally hit triple-digits on the scale this year. Since my dad is stick-thin as well, I'm pretty sure I've inherited a "locked in" metabolism as well.

It also doesn't hurt that we don't eat junk...

Tanpoms? Honey, come on.. work with us.

 

[Venom Drool]

probably tell her since she would be worried about it herself.. though in that case.. iwouldny have to say anything..

 

[SoulManX]

Since Im getting married soon...I need to hit the gym...kinda let me self go...have to give up Lil Debbie

 

[unknownuser]

Id buy her a dress which wld be her regular size and make a sad puppy face when she tells me it doesn't fit her. I am sure she will get the hint then

 

[Darren Daring]

If I'm dating this girl, I'd be comfortable enough with her to tell her that she's putting em on.

 

[Man-Thing]

YOU ARE INSANE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL YOUR WIFE "I THINK YOU NEED TO LOSE A FEW POUNDS" and still think everything will be okay...

Hope you don't like "date night".

You need to go out and get a boyfriend instead of coming here and pleading for one.
Or just come right out and ask atleast.

I get a total lesbo vibe from her.

My dad actually told my mom whenever I was around 7 that if she doesn't loose 20 pounds, he'd leave her. Ironic now, cause he's dead.

 

[Holly Goodhead]

On that note..

That is in no way irony.

Could you foresee that was coming? Point proven.

woOo!! Online gaydar!

 

[Cyclops]

Depends on if it's gotten extreme enough to be a health risk.

Hmm. At times I think of myself as a gay man trapped in a woman's body, does that count? Right now, though, I think I'm asexual. (Or very, very picky. One or the other.)

Excuse me for being immature in that post there. Sometimes it's fun to brag about one's genes. t:

And now, back to your regularly scheduled me: Stop acting like high schoolers!
