If your partner gained significant weight, how would you handle it? And how should they handle it if you did?

Love and accept each other no matter what.

Encourage each other to lose weight while staying supportive.

I’d consider leaving them, but they should accept me.

Neither of us should comment—it’s not our business.

I just put on weight regardless of what I eat. So I have to be on a special diet whenever it’s not summer (too hot to eat heavy diet foods). Meaning I’m fat whenever it gets hot. I started off slim and beautiful but my metabolism changed and body shape from an hourglass to an apple, with my antipsychotic medication. I gained thirty kilos. If I ever marry, it’ll have to be with someone who can accept that, because I certainly can’t fix it. Also, I find as I got fat myself, I’m less critical of other people’s weight. Think about it. When you get older, your partner will get jowls and wrinkles. Can you accept this, or will you immediately seek a newer model? Many people these days would try to replace rather than working on fixing problems as a team. So there’ll be lots of people in our generation who’ll end up alone.

I'd love him no matter what but I might tell him he should watch his weight if I was getting worried.

This is a tough one... well I would approach it as I would want them to do if it was me that gained weight. Be upfront yet supportive. Be concerned for my health, well being and quality of life.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I am not that petty.

That depends on the cause. I wouldn't just leave them in a state of distress, but rather work through things, if that would help.

Was she pregnant? Did she over eat? Does she have pcos? What's the reason? How are you going to judge yet you write an incoherent question?

[Crazzyyworld]

Actually that happened. I was the one who fed him to become fat. I was afraid of losing him so I made him fat

Love but accept but also let them know they are letting them know. I think letting them know before it get to point it’s harder to lose it.
