...my DP saying to me "don't get fat". I mean, ok, so I don't intend to put on 3 stone or something. But surely isn't this the type of thought one keeps to themselves? And no, I wouldn't mind if he put on a bit of weight, because I think there is more to him than looks.

I feel slightly put out actually. Is that all I have to offer then? (which aint much cos I am no supermodel)

yes he is being a prat. what if you discovered you had some terrible condition that made you put on loads of weight, or lost a limb ? What would he do then?
Is he Brad Pitt to look at?

he may be concerned about your health if you were to get fat...but it sounds like its vanity and embarressment to me.

Just reply with "Don't get bald".

is there a reason he said it
have you walked in and announced you've entered a local donut eating competition?
you've forsaken all food other than chips and cheese for the past week?

anything?!?!?

am clutching at straws here as if I was my dh he'd be sleeping in the shed by now after that one

Context?

dizzydixies · 31/05/2008 12:10

is the exact word I was looking VS thank you

The way I see it if I sat down with four sandwiches, three packets of crisps a handful of doughnuts and a kilo of chocolate and DP said to me 'Don't get fat' fine.

If I was a gym bunny and said I wanted to stop going as much to spend more time with the kids and he said 'Don't get fat' not fine.

So we need more of the story.

YEs, we need context. Were you teasing each other about deal-breakers? Rowing? Had you eaten his last Rolo?
