12. I’m A Skinny Chick That Married A Fat Guy

I’m gonna weigh in on this one (see what I did there?) because I’m seeing a lot of backlash against people who say “I left my spouse, would leave my spouse, told them to lose the weight because it’s a turnoff etc.”

I’m a skinny chick who married a fat guy. I love him to death, think he’s sexy as hell etc. Here’s the thing: he was fat when I met him. He was fat when I dated him. He was fat when I married him. He will most likely be fat for the rest of his life. That’s the difference, he put the same amount of effort into his appearance when we first met as he currently does now, a decade later.

There are many things that can cause obesity, depression can and a low thyroid can and all that. But theoretically, if you’ve got depression, and depression causes you to overeat, you’re going to be obese at the beginning of the relationship. Because that’s you. But if you’re a normal weight all your life, then you get settled and THEN your relationship with food changes, now that’s something altogether different.

Tldr: Being a fat person is a different thing than suddenly becoming a fat person once someone marries you. Feel free to call me a piece of shit.

13. If She Gives Up On Me So Will I

This is more a question for my wife, i am the one who is obese. But i think alot of it is hope, she hopes i will lose the weight one day. And i hope she doesnt give up, because of she does… so will i. But right now she loves me and our 2 kids and we are working to eat healthier and exercise more so wish me luck i guess.

14. He Told Me We’d Get Through It. We Did.

Whatever happened to, til death do us part, in sickness and in health, for better or worse? I wasn’t married but I got pretty chubby for a bit while I was with my boyfriend of 7 years. I had cut back to one job, was going through a period of depression and eating like shit. He told me I was beautiful everyday and that it was a rough patch and that WE’D get through it. We did.
