Millennials aren't supposed to fat-shame. You're supposed to be more woke than that. The more your reveal your true self, the more amusing this thread becomes. |
I revealed my true self in the first paragraph. I have never attempted to hide that I believe it is rude and exploitative to gain significant weight after marriage unless there is an illness involved. However, I eluded to several much larger problems than simply getting fat in this thread. But apparently you got caught up on that one fact. Clearly it struck a nerve. Try to step outside of your own narcissistic bubble for 5 minutes when you are replying to a thread about another person's life. |
1. People who're miserably married get fat, but you know that, you've lived with *that fact* and are now facing the consequences of it, despite still taking no responsibility for your part. 2. I'd encourage you to do the same. Might save your marriage, or at least, put you in a position where he's not going to surprise you with some gangsta financial moves. All the best with that, dummy. |
OP: Posting opens criticism, not just the affirmation you seek. You posted. You chose "fat" and "brutal" and "crushing him." Artist and writers both start with blank canvas. This board fairly understands you're running from your past and not to your future.
You decided. Acted. Now move on. He will rediscover himself and find someone who truly loves him. You live by "score carding" vs. him. Otherwise, you would look forward, not back. |
Maybe he opted to give you a false sense of security as he quietly lawyers up and plans his attack?
You blindsided him, so now he will blindside you. Have fun! |
OP ain't getting' no love here. She'll keep coming back, though, ankle-biting with fat-shaming, etc... OP, please save this entire thread and read it again if (and that's a really big *if*) you can persuade someone else to marry you again. I think you'll find it useful. *Raising glass* Here's to swiping right. |
To the OP, never come to DCUM for support regarding relationships. Total hyenas around here. They enjoy hurting you. They are nasty.
|
The idea that anybody would come to DCUM to get some feedback on a life decision when nobody here knows you or your husband or the actual truth about your relationship is very, very sad. Nothing anybody says is actually relevant under the circumstances. Sorry you are reduced to this. Do you not have any friends or family?
And BTW, saying he got fat and embarrasses you really makes you sound like a total bitch. |
My ex wife did this to me. I was devastated and hoped she would stay. Meanwhile she likely knew what she was doing. A few years out I’m doing well. Still feel burned though but I could have followed everyone’s advice to kick her to the curb. I was played for a chump. I do have a hot new girlfriend and make way more money. But still it stings. |
I wouldn’t have told him my plan. |
OP posted her original question because she recognizes she made a bad chess move and basically wanted to know if others ever recovered from it. She tried to enlist our sympathy by demonizing her dh (another dumb chess move). We're giving her excellent support by telling her to watch her ass, despite finding her deserving of every bad thing coming her way. |
Why would you say that? Fertility is an individual thing and your age alone is not enough reason to assume you won't get to have a family. Don't drag your feet getting divorced. |
Remember what The Gambler said. You don't know how to play the game, OP. |
OP, what were you hoping to get out of this? You asked why he would do this, a bunch of people made suggestions and you got your nose all out of joint about it because they didn't support the idea that you made a great decision by telling him this. Wouldn't you rather be prepared for the worst than be blindsided? |
She's 34, has sacrificed career opportunities after making the bad decision to follow around a guy she finds utterly disgusting, embarrassing, selfish, etc.. and has zero prospects at the moment for love. She can only focus on her career now, which means her prospects for family are diminished. She's right, and smart to recognize it. If she takes responsibility for her part and learns from it sooner rather than later, it'll make her a better person and more likely to attract someone appropriate. It costs 10K to freeze your eggs and $500 year for store. Another 5K each time you attempt to use those eggs. Insurance doesn't cover it, but if you work for Google, Apple, or Facebook, they'll pay for it up to 20K. Given you're going to play catch-up in your life in many ways, this might be your best chance. |
