Do you mind if your partner is gaining weight?

My wife is gaining weight, and it does not really bother me; but at our age we need to watch our weight- we need to keep healthy. So I have been keeping her from unhealthy foods-she lost a bit of wight too- me,watching what she eats is for her own good anyway.

Yes its really big thing for me,it matters a lot and my girlfriend is also very concious of her figure and looks.Putting is not a good thing for the body because you may have chances of increasing blood pressure so its not only about looks,its also about health.

dear Ysabel, i would definitely call his attention. but would say it in a way that he will not be offended. and also, i will volunteer to go along with him for walks early morning. have a nice day. ann

I really don't feel like it would be my place to make comments to my partner that could be hurtful to him if he was to gain weight. However, I would be comfortable in suggesting that the two of us would work out togehter in an attempt to have a healthier life and lifestyle because I also acknowledge the fact that I too need to trim down. I would love to be able to take part in that kind of a journey with my partner.

Hi my friend, I won't care too much about my partner's wieght and loos, but if the problem is serious and bad for my partner's health that I will give a warning~

I really care about my partner look, I like big and tall men. I don't mine he gain weight as long as his belly stay flat. big belly will make him bad in most outfit and like walking with old man. If I see that fat belly I will start complaining to him and tell him to work out or he is in big trouble.

I wouldn't beat around the bush about it. I would tell my boyfriend which I have in the past. I have said you have to watch your weight because you are gaining and you don't want to develop health issues due to a weight problem. If you love and care about your partner you will tell them and help them to lose the weight. That is part of being in a relationship sharing the good and bad and helping each other out. I would except the same if I was gaining weight too.

I do when he goes over the typical weight he has. But I really do not mind my hubby gaining weight for as long as it is not over board. Sometimes I tease him that he is fat but he is the type that really not matter about his looks too much since he knows I love him for who he is and not with his looks.

There's always a better way to call your partner's attention on their weight gain. Women tend to gain weight when they get married especially if they have kids. Although it's not bad to gain a few pounds, becoming overweight is not really a good site. Women should maintain the proper weight not only for their husband but for their own sake as well.

of course i do, not for the other reason but for health. at our age, weight is the first indicator of health. overweight is dangerous, so is underweight. we should always look after the health of our partners, for us to live a longer shared life. also, it makes easier for the partner to maintain and sustain a healthy weight with someone showing concern.

hey! no beating around the bush! i would tell him to enroll in a gym and make sure he goes regularly too :) same is the case with him. if i put on weight he would bluntly tell me. its a mutual thing1 ;)

yeah i am conscious about my husband's look. Now a days i am observing that he put on weight and he has belly also. So i am asking him to go for a morning walk to reduce his weight otherwise it is big problem for him to get things done easy. Gaining weight may lead to health problems.

hi ysabel, gaining weight which can be associated with other health problems like cholesterol, high blood pressure or other chronic diseases obviously makes me worried. if it's not there's nothing to worry about but unfortunately most often they always go hand in hand. a check with the doctor is one good way to convince her. and being there as she makes her way to trim down is one good way to make it work.

i will not conscious about it, all i am concern is the food intake if it is nutritious...but for the right thing to do for him is to give him balance diet..and i will encourage him to have an exercise with me....

I don't really mind if my Husband would put some weigth as long he will be aware of it and to not to put more. I would admit that it's not easy to point it out, but I guess there's alot of way to say it or express it!

When I read your discussion, I laughed out loud, cause I always ask this to my boyfriend, that if I gain too much weight, would he leave me? or would he tell me to lose it cause if I don't then he'll leave me. Hehehehe. I am not at all conscious in my partner's weight cause he's really conscious about his weight and having fats specially in the tummy area. LOL. On the other hand, he never fails to remind me that my tummy and my arms are getting bigger and bigger each month. LOL. Though I admit he is right, but I am just too lazy to exercise.

Hi Ysabel, I like to see a thin and skinny girls and I do hope my future girlfriend would be like them. I do not know why but I prefer the skinny one. But tot the bone and skin only type. When I was with my ex-girlfriend, I never stop her from eating her favorite foods but if I notice she is gaining extra weigh, I will told her to do exercise. Since she knew mu taste, she might not do the exercise but definitely lessen her foods intakes. No more chocolate, maybe for a week or two.

I actually wouldn't be something that I would really let bother me. You see, I've been married to my husband for six and a half years and his weight has had some swings in that time. I have never said anything about it though because I love him for the person that he is, not the way that he looks. I might say something directly to him if I thought that it could be putting his health in jeopardy, but I've never seen it to be that way at this point in time.

Hello i am married long back in 1965, my wife gained alot of weight as she grew old, and even now she is a few kilogram extra, same condition with me too.. as we grow older weight gain is common.. we both do yoga to control our weight.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

Yes i am conscious with my partners looks, i might tell her that shes gaining weight but not to the extent that i will tell her to lose some. Sometimes we do take notice of certain changes in our appearance but thats just it, we just tell each other something like hey your lookin much better today, or hey looks like you've gain weight but not necessary to insult or to make them lose it again lol .Its more like a way of endearment for each other.If its something like shes gaining weight uncontrollable then i might get her attention and then help her find ways to fix it.
