I’ll start off by saying my husband has NOT asked me to lose weight.
However, the relationship has been up and down for quite a long time. We tend to get on best when we have more sex, I imagine this is the the case for most couples and our sex life has dropped since we’ve had children (one primary, one secondary) and in that time I’ve gained a lot of weight (between 4 and 6 stone, I can’t remember exactly what I weighed - I was a size 10 and I’m now an 18 / 20). He’s gained about 3 1/2 stone in that time too. We’ve been together almost 18 years.
He says he doesn’t mind I’ve gained the weight and I’m still attractive to him - but this is making me think losing weight may help our relationship a bit, at least in that respect.
I guess it will be better over all as we will both be healthier and happier as a result.
Has anyone else here tried to lose weight for their spouse?
Thanks
