    In the process of splitting with 15 year relationship because he doesn't like my new found confidence or that I get compliments especially off men

    my ex left me for stupid reasons but is now asking to come back home. im so not looking forward to dating and haven't had success finding anyone new so maybe ill let her back home and fake my way through the rest of my days... this is miserable!
    Life is to short to be unhappy!!!! Congrats on the weight loss!!!! It's a shame that you had to deal with the rest. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!!!

    sorry to hear this....it would be great if he could support you on your hard efforts. It's a shame one has to go through these difficulties just because they want to improve themselves. Hang in there and keep pushing.

    I'm kind of going through this now myself. I lost upwards of 70lbs, kicked all meds (BP, cholesterol etc) and my wife won't do anything. She says she wants to, but then doesn't and then makes me feel like crap for wanting to walk, run, exercise, whatever. I ask her all the time to go for a walk with me and she won't. I gave up trying to get her to go the gym. Even gave up on my gym membership because of the grief she gave me it wasn't worth paying for with the little times I went.

    Divorce? Yeah I get pissed here and there but I don't think I would for these reasons. However it does add aggregation to the whole relationship so I totally understand how it would interfere and cause it. I'm still grasping at hope she will just decide to join me one day. There is jealousy involved, she thinks I'm cheating all the time now. It gets really, really old after a while.

    But I haven't given up hope yet and honestly I hope that I never do. If it happens though at least I know I tried.

    Not sure what your ages are, but the time will eventually come when the doctor tells her what she needs to do for health reasons related to aging. Some people don't make changes in their life until the doctor says so.

    Sorry to hear about your weekend! We had gorgeous weather here, and I made a conscious decision not to visit family, so I was able to stick to my goals. I can't wait till a I can get to a place where I can be around food that I typically don't eat and can still choose healthier options. I'm not there yet!

    I went from 257lbs to 143lbs, and then my husband insisted I was cheating on him, even though I worked from home, and went no where without him. So he walked out. So yeah it does happen. I was just so much happier than I had ever been before, I guess he was insecure. Oh well I am really happy now.
    Thanks for sharing your story, I'm sure that had to be devestating! Sometimes "change" is hard for people. And the mind can play some crazy games on you. But I am so happy that you are in a good place now @coleryan11

    I kinda lost the thread of this thread (??) but i think I'm responding to @STLBADGIRL - your husband 'is a DOER' you said. I read a book about the difference between men and women years ago. It said men are logical problem solvers and women are emotional talkers. The issue arises like this:

    Woman comes home from work and complains about bad day just to get it off her chest
    Man thinks woman is presenting problem because she wants it solved – offers a solution
    Woman doesn’t want solution, she wants a listener. By telling her how easy it is solve he belittles the feelings of anger/frustration/sadness she has
    Next day woman comes home from another bad day – wants to talk to feel better
    Man is frustrated she didn’t carry out solution – feels unappreciated she didn’t think his solution would work or is good enough
    Argument or similar ensues

    This isn’t true to a particular sex though. In my house I’m the logical problem solver (am female, partner is male); when my he complains I automatically want to make it better by giving a solution. He gets annoyed because he feels I’m telling him its no big deal – just sort it out. We still argue and fall out because of this but keeping it in mind does make it less often.

    Maybe in talking about your struggles to make you feel better he actually only hears problems and thinks he's helping by giving a solutions. If he understood you just want him to listen and you know he's giving solutions out of good intentions it might help. I don't know if this is helpful but I thought I would say incase xx

    @dancing_daisy thank you for this insight.....yes this is the type of stuff we go through....he is a very logical thinker...and yes, sometimes that upsets me, because I just want you to listen. Sometimes I would like to figure my own issues out. And most of the time his suggestion is worthy of listening to, and ultimately will help, but sometimes its not all that easy to manifest...and that's what i need him to listen to. I have a friend and her guy tells her flat out, "that's a conversation for you to have with your girlfriends" because he knows beforehand that if he doesn't respond in a way that she is expecting an argument will arise...

    Just curious as to what some of you guys plan on doing about this thread if your partner decides to try out MFP with you, given the fact you cannot delete posts or make edits after an hour?

    I haven't said anything untrue or that he hasn't admitted himself. If he were to see this thread I believe he would be surprised I mentioned it as I'm usually very private but not angry.

    This is a tough place to be. So instead of being unhappy, maybe make real effort to rediscover your relationship. It's going to be a pretty long life with someone that you no longer enjoy, might as well make the best out of it![/quote]

    Thanks, sorry I was out of town so barely saw this. Our little vacation helped a lot. It's a very tough place to be and even harder when as a couple your not on the same page. It is what it is. Good and bad days. I guess that's marriage.
