Family member's wife gained a lot of weight. He does not look happy. Should I say something?

[Anonymous]

If he leaves her she would likely walk away with half of his net worth including the house.
It is very obvious he does not look happy.
Should I say something to him about it.

Say what? "Your wife is fat"? He knows that already.

This sounds like a postcard from a morally bankrupt family Christmas gathering. Assumptions here include that 1) he is miserable because his wife is fat; 2) he will leave her because she is fat; 3) his decision-making about marriage should be based on finances.

The house is worth at least 500k and it is rapidly increasing in value. One must seriously take this into consideration.

OMG. NO. - you can say hey you seem upset. What's going on?

If he says what's up that's one thing. If not leave it alone.

They could be going through something together that he is unhappy about and she is eating because of the stress.

what? What? What wisdom do you think you have to impart to these grown up adult people living their lives and not asking for input?

I bet the wife is not happy, either. Think about her.

Why would YOU say anything, OP? Mind your own business and stop meddling into other people's affairs.

You sound like my mother - quick to relate disparate things together and create a catastrophic future in her mind. Which never happens.

They're in a 500K house? On DCUM we call that a sh*t shack. These relatives are clearly not worth your time. Head for the punch bowl and chat up bigger fish.

Isn't the house half hers, too? And wouldn't the husband being walking away with his half if they divorced?

Not understanding your point or why you think that this is even a teeny bit of your beeswax.

No, I don't think you should say anything but if you insist. Only bring it up to him in private.
