Ugh OP you sound like my wife. I finally gave in and now she constantly gripes about how her adding more veggies to our diet made me lose 10 pounds in a month while her weight stayed the same.

We booked it about 6 months ago and also talked about how it would be motivation to get in shape and try to be healthiest for snorkeling and your basic tourist stuff.

We are a month out and ordering clothes and all that and spouse thinks they can get in shape in 4 weeks where I have been dieting and exercising for 6 months.

It is not the end of the world but I am kind of annoyed. I was not expecting fitness influencer body but at least not dad bod flab.


You sound vain and insufferable.

That's a load of horseshit. There are a lot of men stuck with wide-load wives.

In my community it’s generally the opposite.

as a brit new to america, most couples i see fit the category of either one or both being unacceptably overweight. the statement 'most men would divorce if gain 30 pounds' demonstrably does not apply here. hopefully in a new ozempic dawn...

Why don't you workout together? And it's too late now with your vacation 2 weeks away. Just be your hot self and have him wear a tee shirt.

I'm athletic and I would be annoyed.

Next time, check in weekly to make sure he is following through with his workouts and diet.

Stop turning a good thing (a Caribbean vacation!) into a problem.


Yeah, this.

+1

Also stop pretending that this was about health. Your "flab" comment gives the game away.


I would love to see the comments if the genders were reversed. Typical DCUMad.

I know. The comments toward both the posting husband and the overweight wife would be so much meaner and more cruel.


That is not true at all. There are plenty of overweight women you see that are still married. This doesn't fit at all with the general public, may be a few anomalies.

I don't get what vacation has to do with any of this. Out of shape people go on vacation all the time.

Op could be a narcissist. She is too focused on her DH and to look good in some pics for social media. In this process, she doesn't get the damage she is doing on her marriage and kids.
