Losing weight and marriage

Can't relate. My partner is supportive and loving.0

Not really. At the end of the day I do it for myself. The only one that ends up changing is always me and my attitude at times.
Best advice, Ask your partner and see why is he acting the way he is acting and how could it change... Maybe it's something you are doing.. You never know!3 -

My husband whines about my lack of a belly - he always loved the big round pregnancy belly and it never bothered him that I kept a poochy belly after the kids...truly, I think he just is attracted to that fertility goddess type look...but he doesn't try to sabotage me, he knows my body is mine to control, and the sex is still the same frequency, so clearly he still finds me attractive enough.0

Since I have lost loads of weight and got mor independent my husband has become very jealous even worse when I passed my driving test. I am one I dependant lady and it's staying that way we don't talk much now and he has never been in the car with me driving x0

I have some friends whose wives give them crap for losing weight...little jabs and comment that are negative and completely unnecessary. My one friend's wife will accuse him of losing weight for other women. Pathetic and insecure. The other...his wife complains that there's nothing good to eat anymore because he's trying to eat better. And she's too lazy to cook herself so the husband ends up cooking her fatty foods and eventually gives in and fails at losing weight...but then gets called fat f**k in arguments. But from the stories I've heard from my buds..losing the weight is hardly the issue in their marriage..its only an addition to the baloney.0

Seems like spouses that do things like OP's have some insecurities going on. It could be insecurities about themselves or insecurities that a spouse could have created. Sounds like it would be a good time to sit down and have a long hard talk about what's bothering both of you. If you can't communicate with each other on the things that bother you, then you're marriage problems go a lot deeper than weight loss.1

My husband loves me unconditionally. It's the reason we got married. What I do regarding my "looks" doesn't matter to him.0 -
Nope. He loves it0
-
It says more about his insecurities. He thinks you losing weight means you'll suddenly be looking for someone better or that he needs to lose weight too. Do what makes you feel good, you cant control how he feels. I had this in my first marriage, she felt I would leave her because I was getting fitter.0

Nope. We were thin, fat, and now fit. We learned a long time ago that we were in this life thing together, and it's best to talk to each other about any issues rather than asking everyone else. We're strange that way I know . . .0

Mine said he was attracted to larger women. I wasn't healthy and needed a change. We had different views and it split us apart.1

I like being a fatty0

Mine likes to jump in at about 75% of my effort lol. She supports me and likes watching my arms and pecs grow.0

Oh I can so relate. Calls me 15 mins in to a run and says I need to come home because "insert excuse". Makes ME feel guilty. So freakin irritating. Lol0 -
Mine claims I am now too vain although since he decided he HAS to lose weight he's actually stopped mocking my efforts. He does comment regularly about men flirting with me and will often ask if I'm off to meet one of them when I go to do stuff out of the house. I reply yes I am as a matter of fact0
