My DH is not necessarily super good looking, but he is thin and fit.  Although he's never before criticized my weight directly, he's always quick to point out when someone he works with is "fat," or when one of our neighbors is "fat."[b]  I always fully understood his not-so-subtle hints. [/b]

Aside from my weight, my life appears to be pretty well together.  I have a good career (make slightly more than DH once you include bonus, profit-sharing and stock).  [b](I could support the kids and me if needed.) [/b] The kids are healthy and, for the most part, seem pretty well-adjusted.  I fake my way at appearing content with everything in life.

My initial reaction upon hearing his comment was not even to cry.  He makes a good point -- I am embarrassed of my weight too.

I cut out the parts above that suggest to me that OP has a bigger problem than her weight- her marriage.  In a post that has nothing to do with money or divorce, she points out that she makes more and could support her kids by herself.  And, her DH pointing out fat people is just classic jerk behavior.  Seriously, when is the last time you heard a guy saying something like that?  My DH would NEVER point this out about other people, unless they were obese and he were worried about their health or something.  It is just weirdly bitchy behavior for a man.  And she just sounds so damn sad.[/quote]
