And maybe she can’t live with your balding, Dad body.  Men are always so quick to criticize women.....you do know that you all change as well when you age? I don’t care how much you work out....things change for men. And you all expect women to accept it. [/quote]

Balding is 100% outside his control.
Getting fat is 100% within her control.

Understand the difference?

Here let me help.
Her fatness is like his cheating: a selfish decision.
His baldness is like her reading glasses: an age related physical change.[/quote]

Wow, you are an ignoramus.  Weight gain in women *is* an age related physical change.  Read Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes for a quick primer.  Estrogen prevents weight gain by counteracting the fat-storing effects of insulin.  When estrogen drops, we gain weight.  And that fat actually causes a physical response that raises insulin more, in a vicious cycle.  It also causes terrible carbohydrate cravings if you are already eating and have Lseays eaten a diet with moderate to high carbs (that is, the standard American diet).  It is entirely age related.  This is not to say that she is not stresssed, depressed, and/or an  alcoholic.  But assuming she is in her late 30’s and in perimenopause, this is as age related a change as male pattern baldness.  And reducing calories is not the fix because that just reduces metabolism.  The only fix is to fast and or drastically reduce carb consumption, but both of those approaches can also increase the stress c
Hormone cortisol, which causes fat storage and carb cravings as well.  Lack of sleep also raises cortisol and insulin.  It’s a vicious cycle, one that takes most women by surprise and is little talked about.[/quote]
 
You are the Ignoramus! I’m 56 and still in shape with a 24” waist.  And all my girlfriends at the gym are too.  I exercise hard which enables me to eat very well.  I choose not to let menopause and age take control of me. All your excuses would only be valid if I didn’t give a crap about my health and how I looked.  [/quote]

Hi 24" inch waist lady!I'm glad you're keeping fit in the lockdown. Please revive your thread sometime to give us a break from the doom, gloom and gross relationship stuff.[/quote]

24-IWL is my new name!   :D Ty[/quote]
