Dealing With Your Partner’S Weight Gain After Marriage


So the other day, my husband Mr. Gamer asked me if I thought he was overweight. Eeee, what do you say that?! Do you go with brutal honesty, white lies, or somewhere in between? I think this brings up a really good question: what do you do if your spouse is overweight and may or may not want to do something about it? So I decided to ask Mr. Gamer, who graciously offered to share his thoughts. In part 1 of the interview, we talked about what to say in a marriage if one spouse tells the other that they’re concerned about an unhealthy weight gain. Key topics included:
  • What if you’re not attracted to your partner anymore? Do you bring it up?
    • There are plenty of things to love about your spouse besides physical appearance, so choose your battles carefully.
    • Honesty is the best policy, but do so with extreme kindness and sensitivity.
  • What if your partner says they’re not attracted to you anymore? How do you take it?
    • If you're receiving the feedback, evaluate whether or not you think it's a valid point and if you are satisfied with your own health.

Interview – Part 1



In part 2, we continued the topic with a discussion on how to accept and support your partner on their weight loss journey. Key points included:

  • Ultimately you can't change your partner, so accept them for who they are and appreciate them in other ways.
  • Be patient because weight loss will not be overnight.
  • View fitness as a family goal, and work together to adapt healthy habits.
  • Seek professional medical advice if necessary.
  • Ask them what their fitness goals are and how you can best support them on their journey.
