Does it make sense to get rid of your man because he asked you to lose weight only to spend the next few months desperately working out, losing weight and glowing up so you can look good for dates with potential new men you don’t even know if you’ll like?
Do you think the person you love should be content with the version of you that you can’t even present to people outside?
*Assuming he’s not sneeringly obnoxious, abusive, or insulting about it.
I’m asking because I’m one of my mom groups on FB, one mom was saying that after much prodding, her husband admitted that he’s no longer as attracted to her as he was when she was fit and they used to go/train together.
She wants to lose weight. She wants to start training again, but she’s worried that if she starts doing it just because of what her husband said, she’s failing herself in some way, deferring to him, and being weak.
Most of the replies were like ‘stop overthinking and go to the gym’ but there were also some ‘throw that man away’ comments.
Anyway, it’s something I’ve always wondered about.
