    Losing the weight will probably make you healthier. Healthier you typically means the longer you stick around. Live longer... MORE SEX!

    not sure if this was put in here already but here i go

    im an enjoyer of bigger girls, i dont know why i just find them extreamly sexy, as long as they are not super obese and unhealthy. with that being said i would rather my wife be healthy and happy with herself more than me being happy that shes a bigger girl. he is probally a little insecure with himself and is projecting it onto you with saying the sex is better and as everyone else has said i promise he wont stop having sex with you if you lose weight lol

    What if your husband wanted you to lose weight but you were happy with where you are?
    Would you lose weight because HE wanted you to? Or would you remain at your happy weight?

    Its your body and your health, so its your choice! --

    Actually yes I would. I feel you have a responsibility to atleast try to maintain where you were when you met. I would never tell him but if he gained massive weight I wouldn't be anywhere near as attracted to him as I am now.

    Can I ask why? I don't think it would be the actual weight, seeing as how you're thinking of keeping your weight, despite your health, weight on your husband shouldn't be a problem.

    So I'm guessing it would be more about him "letting himself go" and not caring about his health?

    You're husband is super in shape and said that together you are a 10? If my bf said that to me, I would slap him to Saturn. Do you really think that is cute? That didn't hurt your feelings on some level?

    I don't know your husband, nor you, but the things you are saying make it sound like he has manipulated you to an extent. Maybe not on purpose, who knows, but it sounds like he wants the control or the power of being the one with the "healthy fit body" in the relationship.

    Lastly, your parts will be the same no matter. So...

    ETA: I have the same feeling you do that we should maintain our bodies for our husbands and wives. It's not a hokie concept, I think it's a nice thing to do and it's just one more motivator for myself. But to that end, I would think this would also include keeping up your health and wellness, and if you need to lose weight to do that, how could that be a bad thing for your relationship? As long as you are improving, you should be supported for that - and same goes for him.

    I have heard that a lot of men are afraid if their wife loses weight that she will leave him. Maybe he is just a little insecure.

    Sometimes you need to compromise, but not with your health.

    Exaclty my problem, DH is very insecure!

    I don't like it, makes my motivation level go way down.
