What I don't understand is what outcome the OP would advise toward.
Also not sure what supporting Trump has to do with any of it, but the nonsensical nature of that little detail made some sense of the support he has. It's all about putting value on all the wrong things because it's the right thing to do.
Given Trump's nasty attitude towards women, especially ones he deems as unattractive it's not surprising.
The problem is that the op is projecting and sssuming that her relative is unhappy due to his wife's weight gain. And OP assumes they will divorce over the weight gain and if they do she'd get half of the house. Because fat people don't deserve to be married or get an even split of property in a divorce. Obvious solution is to divorce and make the trophy wife sign a prenup stating how much weight she was allowed to gain. /sarcasm
