Woman gains 65 pounds after getting married, forces husband to get Viagra after he is no longer attracted to her.

When you refer to it as "about 20 pounds ago" you may have a problem.

DirtyPedro · 2015-03-31T20:09:22+00:00

"I had my ridiculous book of rules"

I found it hilarious that one of these rules was dessert "only 3 times a week" as if that is even close to "ridiculous".

"or I should find someone else who doesn't consider making love to me a chore"

The word "considers" makes it seem like he is making a choice. The fact he isn't attracted to her is entirely subconscious, it is completely out of his control.

She is lucky to have a man that loves her despite the fact he can no longer be sexually aroused by her, yet she is considering leaving him rather than either getting in shape or just not having sex. Seems the wedding vows meant nothing to her.

ruskyandrei · 2015-03-31T18:37:54+00:00

I just can't help but feel like I am the one who should change ?

Must be quite difficult to grasp this basic truth when all the media bombards you with bullshit about how men should love you no matter what etc...

raptorrage · 2015-03-31T20:47:13+00:00

My ex put on some serious pounds after we got married. When I told our councilor that all the added weight made her unattractive to me she (our councilor) was like, "yeah, I can understand that. we've all got our own personal tastes".

And shes even a feminist, too!

"Wiil ensure arousal"? Ignorant sow. Viagra doesn't make you aroused. It just causes an erection. Learn something about men's bodies for fuck's sake.

Too bad this image cuts off before the shitstorm of responses.

"You're beautiful and perfect in every way! If he can't handle how much beauty you've packed on recently, then you need to find someone who deserves all that love."

The entitlement here actually kinda sickens me. By her own description, her husband has stayed in good shape throughout the entire relationship, yet she seems to think that it's unreasonable for him to expect the same from her. She even acknowledges that her weight is causing the problem, yet refuses to accept responsibility for it.

Surprentis · 2015-03-31T18:24:43+00:00

Might as well be rape at that point.

SpawnlingMan · 2015-03-31T21:49:53+00:00

She admits that he's stayed in shape. Admits he's a wonderful man. He even says he loves her more than anything and she relays that. All of this and she won't lose some weight for him. He's not even throwing it in her face. She's a real bitch.

jchriscloud · 2015-04-01T01:05:48+00:00

A man hopes his bride stays exactly as he married her, but she changes.

A woman hopes to change everything about her husband, but he stays exactly the same.

From wikipedia:

Health at Every Size (HAES) is an idea that "supports people in adopting health habits for the sake of health and well-being (rather than weight control).".[1]

okay, thats fine.

It hopes to remove discrimination of obesity and improve standard of living for people who are overweight.

thats cool, I wouldn't want to be made fun of no matter what my weight was.

HAES believes that traditional restrictive dieting does not result in sustained weight loss for some people,[2]

ummmm...in very rare cases maybe, but not often.

HAES suggests that this method is not always healthful.

wait...wtf does that mean? there are unhealthy ways to consume water (gallons at a time) but people still say that water is healthy for you.

HAES proposes that health is a result of behaviors that are independent of body weight and submits that societal obsession with thinness does not allow for diversity in body shapes.[3]

I'm starting to get dumber. what do you mean health is independent of body weight?

In particular, HAES claims that being obese is not a problem, contrary to the consensus of the medical community.[4] HAES has recently gained popularity among proponents of the fat acceptance movement as an alternative to weight-loss.[5][6]

imma stop you at "contrary to the consensus of the medical community."

2015-03-31T23:21:32+00:00

The is the type of entitlement to a person's body you would expect to hear feminists and SJW's yell and scream at men about in our "rape culture" society.

itsjustfortheporn · 2015-04-01T02:15:16+00:00

This is my dirty secret. This exact scenario happened to me. When we got married, my wife was nice and curvy, slightly plump. I loved the way she looked.
She gained about 55-60 lbs over the last 8 years due to many different circumstances, some her fault some not. We used to have sex every day, months on end. Now, she has to keep trying to get me to have sex as I am nowhere near as attracted to her as I was when we first married. I most often either look only at the good parts of her that weight has helped, or imagine fantasies while we have sex.

God, I love this woman though. She is hands down the best person I've ever met and an amazing wife in nearly every other way. We've even talked about this issue, and she understands a lot of the reason there is a lack of sex is because of my attraction to her dimming because of her weight. She has since lost 20 lbs and is working on more, especially once she graduates college this may.

There's the difference though. She realizes I was attracted to her body then and not now. I'm not supposed to change just because her weight changed because in her case it is entirely reversible. This woman needs to realize she lied to her husband by keeping herself a certain shape, hating it and knowing she would stop once they got married. Now its time for her to shape up or ship out, just like she said.

Okay, I'll ask. What is HAES?

Ulquiorra_Schiffer · 2015-04-01T02:40:47+00:00

She's going to get that dude killed.

Not because she's a landwhale and will crush him in sex.

My dad was taking Viagra without a real need, such as ED, other than probably not being sexually attracted to my landwhale mother, and it basically gave him a stroke. It helped contribute to him having a stroke in a major way, other than just high cholesterol, and he had another stroke 2 months ago and died, just over 2 years after the first one.

Her husband taking Viagra without seriously needing it is going to give him a stroke, and her forcing him to do it will mean that it's her fault.

Travyplx · 2015-03-31T22:58:49+00:00

She briefly thought of someone other than herself, "I just can't help but feel like I am the one who should change." Fortunately the next sentence she throws that out the window and lives up to the stereotype.

bsutansalt · 2015-04-01T00:35:50+00:00

I saw a study a couple years back on ED. They had men come in and sat them down and had a hot woman pretending to be a nurse give them a questionnaire, be a bit flirty, and had a low-cut top. You get the idea. Nearly all of the men who thought they were suffering from ED had no problem getting it up, demonstrating in most of the cases they just weren't being physically turned on by their wives/SOs.

Any reasonable counsellor will tell her to cut her shit that the problem lies with her.

starbuxed · 2015-04-01T01:12:20+00:00

Woah, let me say this. I went from 175 lbs a healthy weight for me at 6'1. And gained 55 lbs to be 230 lbs. I was definitely overweight and obese even if I didnt "look" it. I since dropped to 190 lbs. and working to get to 175 again.

A lady, at say the average tallness gaining 65lbs would put her into the morbid obesity category. if she was right in the middle the healthy bmi range.

This is all kinds of unhealthy.

buck54321 · 2015-03-31T18:50:04+00:00

While this woman is definitely misguided, I don't think that this represents an example of some overarching trend. I guess that there is some aspect of fat-acceptance culture at play.

Fortunately, I don't think a lot of newly-robust wives are drugging their husbands out of denial of their own issues.

I myself am a little overweight and don't expect any woman to be physically attracted to me, and society makes that very clear to me.

But at the same time, society teaches women that men have to be attracted to them no matter what and those who aren't are chauvinist pigs.

Apparently society, and some women, can't seem to grasp simple biology. If you aren't physically good looking then people will most likely not find you physically attractive.

Society tells women "You're beautiful at any size, even if you're a land whale" but at the same time tells men "You have to have a sculpted Olympic swimmer's body for any woman to find you attractive".

I fucking hate society's double standards.

She didn't "force" him to do anything. His will is his own. Men need to start taking some responsibility as well.

If you find yourself the bitch of a bitch, you have only yourself to blame.

XJXRXVX · 2015-03-31T22:36:22+00:00

I'm sure he only has two options in this situation: have sex with the woman he married, or divorce the woman he married. Which sounds more fiscally stable? He has a choice. No one can force feed you drugs. Sure, she can pressure him, but he can also say no. As an adult, you have to make your own decisions.

I'm not sure if I would be clamoring for divorce at this point after years of marriage over something that can be fixed by her returning to her old gym and nutrition standards. At the same time, if I were him, I would at least try to make an effort to throw the old hag a bone every once in a while.

votebot9898 · 2015-03-31T23:41:18+00:00

Saw this on r/fatpeoplehate a while back and I am convinced it is satire. Surely to God no person, male or female, could be this dense. If it is real, it is infuriating, but I highly doubt it.

deschutron · 2015-04-01T00:49:41+00:00

If it's all true,

I lose the most sympathy for her where she says "I exploded at him".

How is that OK?

And you see, afterwards, he does what she wants, and then she's wondering whether it's right. Maybe she wouldn't be wondering if she didn't explode at him, and instead said her thing more calmly, and tried not to scare him out of responding.

I really feel sorry for the guy, watching the woman he loved almost double in size to the point where he needs chemical assistance to sustain an erection. The kicker is, viagra only works if you are already aroused.

never seen such a fantastic argument against marriage in my life. thanks, lady!

porkmaster · 2015-04-01T02:30:56+00:00

Throat cancer really fucked me over bad in the face and neck. I lost all my teeth and the surgery removed everything non-essential in my neck from my earlobes to my clavicle. I look like shit now.

My wife is stunning and this really concerned me knowing that I would look profoundly worse after my treatment. She's not superficial at all but no one wants to be married to an ogre.

That woman never missed a beat and not once has she ever told me I look anything less than perfect. She moped around when I had my teeth removed because it hurt too much to kiss her. She's never made me feel any lesser of a person because of how I look now. Granted I had no real choice, if I didn't have the surgery and treatments I had less than a year to live, but she's made sure it never affected our marriage.

I know the OP's posting concerned weight gain that could be controlled but damn...if that guy only sees poundage on his wife then she married the wrong damn dude.

Introvariant · 2015-04-01T11:09:37+00:00

This doesn't belong here. Don't get me wrong, I like to take the man's side in gender divided issues just as much as the next guy. Also, I do happen to side with the man in this instance. But this isn't an issue of gender rights.

This just looks like a middle aged couple having middle aged couple problems. Your use of "forces" in the title is extremely sensationalist. The woman is clearly conflicted. She recognizes that she may be in the wrong and is asking for advice.

Bearded_Deity · 2015-03-31T21:56:30+00:00

Basically, this sounds to me like the typical feminist aproach. In stead of saying, hey, maybe my "wonderful, supportive, handsome husband" has a point?

Personally I think that if you REALLY love someone, you will want to stay attractive for them; i.e. healthy, in shape, etc (whatever it is you find attractive about them, they should try to maintain, even if it isn't weight or size related.)

For example, my fiancee WANTS to continue looking good, not just for me, but also for herself and her own confidence. I personally WANT to maintain a healthy weight, and stay attractive for her, and myself. Because I love me and I love her!

misterbigtime · 2015-03-31T23:18:24+00:00

Does this belong here? What does this have to do with mens rights? Is there some context I'm missing? I don't agree with the outcome of the story but that's irrelevant.

What was the original article?

[edit]

Found the source comment.

This comment is a perfectly reasonable reply:

I’m so sorry that this is happening to you. I would be in way over my head to give advice here other than to say that I would suggest that the two of you definitely get some counseling sooner rather than later, and maybe work separately as well as together. I believe that you are beautiful just as you are. Good luck,

I'm pretty disappointed with the overall comments in this thread. I don't see a Men's Rights issue here. Guys, everyone deserves a good, hard fucking. In a healthy marriage, each spouse deserves sexual fulfillment. This guy seems to love his wife enough to try to please her. There is nothing wrong with this.

the-tominator · 2015-04-02T07:57:12+00:00

...or should I find someone else who doesn't consider making love to me a chore?

Good luck with that you fuck. Only problem is, your husband sounds rather good and you won't get anyone decent now that you're a planet.

At least he could then go and get a woman who considers his happiness as more important than that 4th helping of desert. She'd be all lonely and finally realise that very few people like fat women because we all want healthy partners for biological reasons, and are attracted to fit healthy people. She will then either become hateful and horrible (e.g. Dworkin) and we'll hear from her again. Or she'll finally loose some (it'll need to be a lot by then) weight.

So I hope she does leave him, he sounds nice and she sounds like a selfish cow. He's obviously in love with her but clearly she just treats him like he owes her everything and she owes him nothing.

This was really depressing to read, but her sheer level of sociopathy made it at least a bit amusing.

Seriously, don't do this people! If you get a car at the showroom and it's a nice convertible ( http://www.carsbase.com/photo/BMW-Z4_mp2_pic_10009.jpg ) that's great fun to drive, and then a few months later it turns into a people-carrier ( http://www.carsbase.com/photo/Fiat-Multipla_mp21_pic_35079.jpg ). You're going to feel short-changed! This is how your partner will feel if you let yourself go, and it isn't good!

I know exactly one couple who have been married for 20 years who are undeniably happy married--they still shower together every morning and leave love notes for each other.

The rest, who aren't already divorced probably should be.

What does this have to do with weight gain? Nothing, and that's the point.
