Today, at a World Cup watch party, my husband joked about how I’d probably eat all the snacks by halftime so everyone should eat up now. I told him that hurt and how he wasn’t the man I married anymore. He replied, “I should say the same thing about you. You didn’t do one thing to lose weight since the kids.” FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, during our wedding, my new husband said that he’d divorce me if I “let myself go.” Later, he couldn’t understand why I'd got upset and told me, “Why are you so worked up for? If you don’t want that to happen, just eat healthy and exercise daily, it's not that hard.” FML
Today, I learned that my husband is attracted to obese, unhealthy women after celebrating my weight loss of 175lbs and improving my overall health. FML
Today, after losing twenty pounds to please my husband, the only comment I received was, "At least now only your personality sucks." FML
Today, I got into a fight with my husband. I told him we’re a stereotypical couple, where the wife is exhausted from doing all the housework and raising the kids. He looked me in the eye and told me I’m lucky he’s still around after how I “let myself go after the third kid.” I have diastasis recti. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted to purposely sabotaging all my weight loss efforts. When I confronted him, he said it’s because he doesn’t want me to get thin and turn into one of those stuck up, snobby, mean girl types that wouldn’t date him in high school. We’re in our 30s dude, get over it! FML
Today, I found that if I want my husband to take me out, all I have to do is say that I’m trying to lose weight. Anytime I bring up dieting or weight loss, suddenly he wants to take me to every restaurant in town and splurge on sweets. Part of me wants to lose weight but I also enjoy the snacks. FML
Today, I found out that my husband thinks I'm fat when I caught him slipping diet pills into my morning smoothie. FML
Today, my wife refuses to acknowledge our kids’ weight problem. When I try, she claims bodyshaming. The last time we went to the park, one wouldn’t get off the bench, the other was too big for the slide, and our daughter got stuck in the swing. They were all so winded they couldn’t talk. FML

That's asshole behavior and you shouldn't put up with that. I sense a couples therapy session or divorce in your future.

you’re the asshole for suggesting divorce and breaking up families.

Hey garamo, let me guess: Single, right?

@garamo What's your alternative if couples therapy doesn't work out? People should never be trapped in toxic marriages.

Losing weight is a good idea, if not for him then for yourself. you will look and feel better.

I'm busy losing weight myself, but I don't mind the slimphobics voting me down.

Dump him, lose the weight, and get a man who actually appreciates you for who you are

Divorce him ASAP. My husband would never speak to me that way because he is a decent, emotionally mature man who knows that bodies change over time. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I hope things get better soon. Also, that number of YDIs is very disappointing.

(1) I agree that it’s a big no-no to criticize your spouse or significant other in front of others. While it happens sometimes with real people, it is unacceptable behavior. But not by itself “divorce now” behavior. (2) I am assuming that there might have been some truth in what spouse said. Again, terrible timing - In front of other people. It sounds like maybe the relationship and each partner needs to do some work on their issues.

Even so saying it like he did sounds like an asswhole, whether in front of people or alone that isnt how to go about that topic
