Told my DH to lose weight, it’s affecting everything

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure how you can be " fit" yet have a pot belly as man. Something else is wrong as a physician he likely knows what it is and doesn't want to deal with it.

Also a potbelly has never stalled a career for a physician especially a male

If you two get divorced, I will happily marry your physician husband with a pot belly. His weight won’t bother me at all.

Too bad for you- no one wants a beggar anyway...

+1. My average-looking, middle-aged ENT with a pot belly just divorced his critical wife. There are many women interested in him.

Honestly, it’s really a problem of perception. Your sex life is dead because you can’t see him for who he is.
I agree that partners should support and encourage healthy behaviors, since you will be caring for your partner in sickness and want a long healthy life with them. However, telling him to lose weight bc it “looks gross” is not the same sentiment.
Look for the good in him, the qualities he has that are wonderful, and don’t take him for granted. His weight loss will come when he feels loved and supported.

Did you read the OP?

Also, I don’t think he would qualify. Don’t you have to have some kind of medical problem to be prescribed those?

You can get it for weight loss as long as you’re willing to pay out of pocket. What do you think all those celebs are doing?

Fat American women making excuses why they are fat lol. Stop freaking drinking too much wine and cocktail every weekend. In some parts of the world women who are biologically similar to you are not far. They have the same hormonal challenges as you do.

Who else is kind of hoping the husband goes on ozempic, loses the belly, then loses the wife for a younger, thinner and prettier model?

I think OP should just divorce him and find someone who she is sexually attracted to and she has respect for.

OP probably wouldn’t mind so much. She’ll walk away with half.

She'll be shallow all her life. Maybe she'll find some empathy when she's old and infirm.

This sounds 100% true and absolutely a set of facts everyone would know about their ENT.

I could never be married to an obese man. I would divorce.

OP never said he was obese.

OP you know the answer to your question - you need to apologize and assure him you love him unconditionally. The problem is that those words have to be true. Do you?

As for the poster raising you have nothing to apologize for - absolute nonsense. It’s always ok to voice your concern for your spouse’s health, whether it’s alcohol or nicotine or weight. But your suggestion about his social impacts was hurtful, almost certainly untrue (a pot belly on a mostly muscle man would not do that) and unnecessary. And its impact on your sex life even if true didn’t need to be said either.

This is honestly the most likely outcome. No matter how fat or ugly the doctor, there are young, cute nurses around who find the intelligence, power, and yes, income level very attractive.
