I have known my partner for around 6 years. When I first met him, he was in the process of a divorce, was massively overweight, depressed and in debt. So his wife left with another bloke, he lived on his own for a while. Certainly not partner material at the time so we were just friends. He used to eat unbelievable ammounts of food and although he was in debt, used to order stupid stuff like moon acres etc and waste money of daft things. Finally he was declared bankrupt and lost his house. Moved into a different rented property. Decided he needed to turn his life around. Had a gastric bypass operation and rapidly lost weight and I thought he was doing really well. We began to see more of each other and I was in a bad way so probably rushed into things without thinking and we ended up together. He then got a loan without telling me. This worried me due to his past money problems but he promised it wouldn't get out of hand. It did and we ended up with debt collectors. He has since got a credit card and is eating a lot again. He doesn't seem able to stop himself. Last night he had chiliconcarne for his tea, then a couple of hours later a meat pie and THEN cheese on toast for supper. He's hid the scales away too I've noticed. Burrying his head in the sand as he slowly starts to regain weight.
So in 3 years time, is he going to be that overweight, in debt, depressed bloke I once knew again? He hasn't changed at all has he?
