[quote=Anonymous]Op here- exactly!! I read that post where the man got raked across the coals and I felt like a giant B.

He is 5”11 and 230. When we married he was 175 and for most of of our marriage has been around 180-185. I would say he looks overweight. Has a large gut, man-boobsand his face looks bloated. His diet is trash- he eats like a college boy. Bacon and eggs with cheese for breakfast, chicken tenders and a coke for lunch, 2-4 beers per night with steak and potatoes and ice cream for dessert. Just eats like he is on vacation! I buy healthy foods and he runs out to the store to grab beer and stocks up on snacks. He eats anything I prepare and thanks me for cooking, but will always supplement with junk.

I think I would be less turned off if he still took pride in his appearance and exercised. He wears basketball shorts and loose T-shirts every day (in quarantine) and doesn’t bother to shave or trim his nails. For lack of a better word, he has turned into a slob.

I am not claiming to be a super model but I eat well about 80% of the time, exercise every day, do my hair and make up most days, and dress pretty cute, even if it’s just athleisurewear. I take care of my skin, shave my legs, put on cream, etc. I am not claiming that I do all of this for his benefit. I am on Zoom calls most of the day and I feel better about myself when I take care of myself this way... but I do think that he appreciates and is attracted to my effort. [/quote]
