My wife is getting fat, how do I stop this?

christinagillick	Its called the newlywed nine (in her case 5) It'll go away. Say YOU want to go workout and want her to come with you. Say YOU want to eat healthier and make enough for both of you or have her make healthy dinners and say they are for YOU. DO NOT tell her she is fat!

Callie	I would say your wife probably married a 'bore' and a shallow person. She probably only finds comfort, enjoyment and pleasure in the foods that she eats. At a whopping size 6 I'm sure no other man would want her either ~cough~ ~cough~. So you are totally right, keep ridiculing her and I bet that huge size 6, fat cow, will find greener pastures ;-)

Juliet	Just talk to her about how you feel....and tell her that right now she looks good but you want her to be healthy and taking care of her weight....Tell her how attractive she looks to you and that you don't want to change that....Taking care of herself it's good for her and good for you ...so it's a win win situation...just be nice and polite...good luck

Allison, aka Nice Lady	5 lbs in 6 months? That is barely anything.

af	I pray to god you are not serious. How can you even tell someone gained 5 pounds unless they told you or you watched them on the scale? Please start a savings account for your poor wife's future therapy visits. Hopefully she wises up soon and gets rid of you.

Shawn	Stop it you are just trying to piss these ladies off. I tell you what grow about three more inches so you can crawl out from under your rock and try hanging about 10in for endowment and if she still goes and gets another guy well you sit there and figure that one out while another guy is getting your bedtime because it doesn't matter to him

ndnqt1966	Oh my gosh! Call Jenny Craig fast! 5 lbs in 6 months! That is so terrible!!....LOL....you are so full of yourself...I just bet you are a prince charming! How nice of you to send me an email calling me fat...and you don't know a thing about me.....Definitely a prince charming! NOT!!!

Teresa	Your wife is a size 6? What a fat cow she has become !!!!!! Man are you out of your mind??????Women can gain 5 pounds at different times of the month.There is way too much pressure on females to be skinny. At a size 6 I don't think you have any reason to complain.As long as your wife feels good about yourself you should be happy.If she is having problems with it why don't you suggest that the two of you take a walk in the evenings.Walking is good exercise for both of you.

iyamacog	5 lbs is nothing. A woman can put that on as a result of her cycle. There are much more important things in life that what you're complaining about. In fact your true love for her could be an issue. Consider that, nx time you look at her in apparent disgust.

Jennifer M	and how much do you weigh????? how do you compare to 6 months ago.......................give me a break........size 6!!!!!!! that's hot .....................

MAC	stop feeding her then and hide the food take all her money so she cant buy any

old-softy	lol. well then if you were married to my wife you would think your wife is already a cow at size 4. Mine is a size 0. good luck to you.

PaulR	I know a lot of people are going to rip on you for saying this, but I commend you for being honest. I was the one who put on weight in my marriage and it's easy to do. We'', we both did but she took off her marriage weight while I did not. Let's face it, suddenly you are married and your life is going to rotate around meals, friends, drinks, etc... I mean, come on, the majority of wedding gifts are kitchen related and you are now nesting. You fall into the routine of work, home, meals... It's an easy one to do and one you need to break free from. After my divorce I ended up losing about 45 lbs and feel good about myself again. You need to have an open conversation with your wife about long term goals on many levels. Keeping yourself physically attractive for you partner is important. However, more important is communication. As you've pointed out, she's only gained 5 lbs so it's not like you are dealing with a lot here.

Carina E	What is it you don't give her since she's eating more suddenly?

Dolly J	Going from a 4 to a 6 is not being a cow and if you think that way god, I must be an elephant, ya know you're quite shallow, maybe she's depressed, or has poor self control, how about asking her or maybe suggesting to her you do something active together like riding a bike or walking, and besides if it's been in the last six months, maybe it's due to the cooler weather this time of year, my husband gains 5-10 pounds every winter and ya know, I still love him, you don't say how tall she is or anything, my sister is a 4-6 and that's not heavy at all...God, what are your measurements STUD?

heartsarebad	You are kidding? A size 4 is under weight. If you are really concerned, then you prepare all of the meals healthfully and get a joint gym membership and spend lots of time with your wife.

mezwood	put a picture up of yourself so we can laugh at you!

Dose of Reality	Lol, you are such a troll. I still had to laugh. Got 'em good and riled up!

myfriendsrsweet	so what if shes putting on a little wait its her weight not yours so if she wants to eat then thats her not you. forget u !!!!!!!!!!

I carry your heart with me...	5 pounds isnt that much so you shouldn't be so jumpy, that would take like a few days to lose. BUT For all you know she could be pregnant.

Witch K	Maybe you could put like diet pills in her food ground up so she won't notice or put some appetitie supressant in her coffee or beverages. Worked for me

Becca J	well you sir , are a horrible man , if you married this lady because you thought she was hot, you did it for the wrong reasons , how would you like it if she turned round and said "hunny your putting on weight , i dont find you attractive anymore" , it would hurt wouldnt it , love her for the way she is , and by your attitude , think yourself lucky youve found sum1 to stand for it
