    i was married for 25 years to a man who i was afraid of. he never hit me but he was intimidating and verbally abusive. i stayed married because i thought i had no where else to go.

    he died a year and a half ago and in spite of how cold it sounds i am finally free. i don't have to worry about what i say or do. i will never marry again.

    i have also lost 74 pounds since he died.

    you deserve better.

    I would see it this way if he has to change you to love you he doesn't really love you he loves someone or something else. I would also think of it this way...if you were to marry him ages down the road say one of you had medical conditions and couldn't excercise whatever people grow old and aren't always in perfect shape. You should have someone there that would still support you. And it also is important to have someone who loves you for the person you are not just for looks and who is supportive of you in what you do if its gonna be for the long haul and you're gonna be happy. I'm not gonna tell you you should leave the guy or not leave him, I'm sure you prob have alot of strong feelings. But I will tell you someone that really loves you shouldn't say something that they know would hurt you that just shouldn't be in their nature. I would pray about it before you do anything major. Ask God for wisdom what to do. You look great though and you seem like a pretty nice person and a pretty caring person. That guy sounds kinda like a jerk to me, no offense. And I think you deserve better you just need to weigh out what will make you most happiest. Staying with someone who can say stuff like that to you and not think anything of it just cuz you have love for them. Or knowing someone will love you for who you are and not have to change you to love you and maybe have the support of someone who cares to support you in whatever you do.

    He sounds like a selfish a-hole. He should love you for who you are not how much you weigh. Whether you gain 20 lbs or 100 lbs if he loved you he would be supportive not ridicule you and say mean things. Time to move on to someone who loves you inside and out!

    Ugh so sorry. I think you are the only one who can make a decision. I have to say I have been married for 13 years and I am up 20 pounds since our wedding day. I am working to lose weight and my husband says "your not fat, if you are fat than I love fat" I do this for myself and if I gained 50 pounds my husband would still be there. I could not have it any other way.

    POOR CHOICE OF WORDS is my opinion; even if he feels tht way, he shld, in love, find a btr way of saying tht he wld like you to be "healthy" and wld like to help you achieve those goals. I dnt care wat anyone thinks, when a person blatently says something tht they knw wl offend you, they nd to consider what they are going to say. I'm sure most ppl who gt with a person in btr shape than they are now misses tht, but you dnt offend thm as a means of motivating them.

    sounds like a bully!!! You do what you want to do for yourself not for someone else because it won't last! and what if you get pregnant, omg!!! you deserve better and don't u make excuses for him, it is what is--he said it and if someone says it, it's in there heart and it's just a matter of coming out, he should consider what he says before he says it because once it's out there you can't take it back, he can say he's sorry but you will always remember what he said.and it won't be the first or lthe last time.

    Are you certain it's because of the way you look that he doesn't "fancy you" anymore? This might sound bad and it is not meant to but, with all the stress you've been having, your temperament may have changed without you meaning for it happen or even realizing it happened. I know for myself, when I am under a ton of stress, I behave differently (read: extremely and unnecessarily mean. Seriously, the people who deal with me during these times should be nominated for sainthood) and often, I don't see it until after I'm not stressing anymore. Not saying it's definitely the case but it's better than your SO being a douche. If it turns out it is the body thing well, best of luck to you. You'll have to decide for yourself if that much pressure to stay a certain shape and size is worth it.

    When you lose the weight, he will find another flaw to criticize and "not fancy". It will never end with this guy. Find someone else who won't treat you like this.

    Omg, that is awful. What I find most disturbing is that with your extra weight you are a size 12 which is nowhere near fat! I think he is playing shock tactics to get you to be the weight he wants you to be. Be the weight you want to be, and if you want to lose weight, do it for yourself and nobody else. In your profile pic, you look lovely, and like a healthy slim and attractive woman so don't let him bring you down. If he wants a skinny waif-like exercise fanatic let him go and find one and you can find someone who will value you and fancy you even when you aren't a size 8. Easier said than done of course as you love him, however it's seriously not right to say that to you.

    Hope you get it sorted out x

    My husband and I each gained a lot of weight the first year we were married. Like 60 and 80 pounds each. And the funny thing was, it was like we didn't notice it. We were oblivious. It was like "What's wrong with my pants? I think they magically shrunk on their own!" We were not less attracted to each other. I lost most of my weight in that second year but have put some back on. He is just starting to lose his. I loved him thinner and I love him now. We have been married almost seven years, and I am trying to get him on board with a healthier lifestyle. But it is because I want him to have a good, long life and be able to do more of the things he enjoys. I saw a quote recently in a magazine that country singer, Miranda Lambert, who has gained some weight since marrying fellow country singer, Blake Shelton, asked her husband "Why didn't you tell me I got fat?" His reply was "It's not my job to tell you you're fat. It's my job to tell you you're beautiful." I think that is right on.

    I agree with what many are saying about him sounding controlling. You will begin to resent him one day if you feel like you are doing things just to please him or to keep thing pleasant between the two of you. To call it a "downward spiral" also seems very rude and insensitive. Ask yourself, is this really someone you want to be with or have you already begun having doubts? If so, leave and exercise in all of the free time you will have in your newly single life!! Get in shape, start feeling good about yourself, and get ready for your new relationship with someone who will value you for more than just your looks!!
