My thoughts on this article about how a married man stopped being attracted to his wife as she gained weight.
First of all ladies, this must be a terrible feeling and a major fear! I personally have had this happen to me, not once, but twice in my longest relationships... They loved me but didn't find me attractive as time went on, they both literally said the words "I'm not attracted to you anymore"... I'm old enough to know better now but when I was younger I just knew there were major problems with physical intimacy for a while leading up to it...
So here's the question...
Do we choose our family based on attraction? absolutely not, what about friend work colleagues? unconsciously maybe but probably not... How bout just your friends, or best friends? I'm guessing no. What do all of these have in common? You don't have to be attracted to them to have a good relationship, but you do need to be attracted to them in a large way to desire physical passion. We're all attracted to different things and we can't fake it when we're not, but that doesn't mean we don't love them... It's complicated and really only the two individuals can come to a decision on how to move forward. With me, it meant the end of the relationship even though at the time I didn't want them to.
Final thoughts, becoming unattractive is much more complicated than someone gaining weight, rather its the personality of the person that starts to see themselves differently as they gain weight... Our outsides have a way of giving us a gimps what's on the inside - weight gain is one of many indicators that something is wrong, but not always...
Most importantly, be the best you you can be for you, regardless of size or the opinion of others.
