Any girl who is shallow enough to think about leaving someone just because of putting on some weight (through no direct fault of their own), is not worth being with.
lol, I'm sorry, but I told my husband before we got married if he got fat, I'd leave him (he was cool with this). I don't care how shallow it is, I'm not going to be with a sloppy, physically unkempt person because it shows laziness of character. Physical attraction is a very real thing, and a relationship does not survive without it.
edit to add: I'd not let myself get fat either, and wouldn't expect him to accept it from me, either.
Hi, firstly this is on behalf of my best mate. Hes 18 years old. He has been going out with the same girl since they were 15 and it was all going well till recently. My mate is 5 foot 9 inches tall average build and used to be a slender 11 stone 7 and had a lean 31'' waist. Sadly though he was involved in an accident which left him off work for 6 months, and in a wheelchair. ( He has recoved fully now) During that time however he gained weight. He now weighs a hefty 13 stone 7 pounds and his waist has increased to 36''. His girl friend says she doesnt find him attractive now and is threatening to leave him. He says he's happy with his body. What should he do ? Is he overweight ? Should he dump her ? Is she right ?
She is right. If "he" looked like that when they first met, then she would not have dated him. Therefore, either cut the fat or break up.
He has no reason to be happy with his body, he should try to return to his pre-accident weight. The gf is rubbish, just leave him instead of threatening him.

Wow some people are soo superficial. Ok i understand that it is the attration when you first meet but when you are married surely that becomes less important too you? I mean i know i wouldnt be happy if my partner gained a huuuge amount of weight simply as it is not looking after herself but i wouldnt threaten to leave them because of it. So what happend if your husband managed to get a big scar on his body or lost all his hair or something, would you leave him to because the physical attraction has been affected?
No one wants to be with someone that is a mess. Why should someone stay with someone they don't find physically attractive?...oh just so they don't get called 'superficial' by fuglies on TSR.
If he's happy then she should accept it; if she can't accept it then he should leave her - there's no point in staying with someone who is only happy if you look good. Simples.
