My wife has become too fat for me

My wife has become too fat for me

4/17/08
Quote:
. I am not physically attracted to my wife. Her physical appearance has always been an issue and it only gets worse. She has put on a considerable amount of weight. This is very unattractive to me.
I’ve tried to hint to her — tactfully; I'm not insensitive — that it bothers me, but she only gets offended. It seems like it’s not my place to say so any more. Instead, there's this gnawing silence and growing indifference to sex.

I’d like to say that she is so beautiful inside that the outside doesn't matter. But that's not true. In many ways — children, finances, practical things — we communicate well. I respect her and she’s a good mom. But this is a wall between us and an increasing source of emotional distress, anguish, loss of intimacy and hormonal hell. What do you suggest?

A. I get this question often from both men and women: What should they do when their spouse has grown heavier and is no longer physically appealing?
First of all, if you are not especially attracted to your partner from the beginning, as you mentioned, this will not likely change. You should have considered from the start whether this is the right spouse for you, keeping in mind that physical attraction does matter. Over time, people rarely get thinner or better-looking.

You haven't really done your wife any favors. Put yourself in your wife’s shoes: Think how horrible it must feel to be married to someone who doesn’t find you physically attractive.

Marriage vows don't mean diddly any more. Sad really. She's the same person that he married inside.

Now I wouldn't have been so nice candy coating it all. He said from the beginning her appearance was an issue.......well dah buddy that's a no brainer.....what did he marry her for then? If there is no physical attraction in the first place then sorry but there never will be.

Oh I could rant and rave forever because yes this is a touchy subject for me. I'm a big girl and know it. I've always battled with my weight since I was about 12, but trust me I do not let my size detour me from lookin darn good at home cleanin, runnin errands, in the office, the kitchen or the bedroom.

Oh well it's too early in the morning to justify this ####'s behavior, even begin to wonder what her issues are or defend in more detail why this subject makes me cranky His problems run deeper than having a heavy wife. He needs to understand food for many is an addiction the same as any drug and is nothing but a misguided attempt to mask some deep pain.

What a cold hearted SOB does he think he's gods gift to women?? Sounds like he is looking for a way. And who knows she may think there are things wrong with him. I'm not small by any means but my boyfriend is and thank god I found someone that loves me for me not my appearance. Omg I better shut up I'm getting wound for sound and this could go on and on and on etc That guy can kiss my

I agree with here, this probably isn't about her weight as it is about other issues that are facing them. My ex husband used to be so obsessed with my weight and every morsel of food that went into my mouth. His issue wasn't so much with my weight, as it was with him being an SOB control-freak.

I always put this question out to both men and woman when this subject makes it's way into a conversation:

What if you went totally blind, or perhaps you were paralyzed-disabled, would it matter then?(be honest)

Face it, society has trained most of us to judge everything from a visual point of view more often than not. Blame visual advertising and most other forms of visual media, tv, movies etc that have conditioned the space between our ears and it only gets worse if we allow such mind control.

The value system of the world today has changed for the worse, and in many ways thanks to the constant bombardment mentioned above.
