I’ve noticed this a lot lately. Of course I’ve seen many skinny women with obese husbands but that makes sense to me as a woman lol a big husky guy? Strong. Protector lol a fat funny guy? He’s funny who cares. For women personality or stability can be a huge part of our attraction but I know men are very very visual. My husband and I gain and lose together so I imagine if one of us ever crossed over into the obese territory that the other wouldn’t be far behind hahaha. I have a coworker who’s in the gym something like 14hrs a week but his wife is twice the size she was in their wedding pictures from just 6yrs ago. He loves his wife always says she’s his best friend etc. but When she comes to his workplace he looks absolutely mortified. She must be 5’7” and about 260-275lbs? Tbh she’s not big enough to where I would look twice at her if I passed her on the street but it’s the fact that she’s married to a guy who is “the buff guy” everywhere he goes that really brings attention to their differences. I was at the gym yesterday and the most jacked guy there was at the bench next to me and his lady came over and kissed him and he also looked a bit embarrassed and I was like dang the most jacked guy here is with the biggest girl here idk it’s kind of a spectacle. I know there’s a lot of skinny guys with bigger girls or really fit guys who are with girls who are a little bigger or chubby but it’s just jarring to the eyes to see a body builder with a 300lb spouse like the juxtaposition in physique is kinda nuts. How do y’all really feel? I know men are visual creatures so how does that affect you personally and how does it affect your relationship? What’s it like at home? How is she eating enough to gain so much while you’re still lean yet you live in the same house? How do you share a life when one is active and one is sedentary? Those are 2 completely opposite lives. If you have kids how does that affect your kids? submitted by /u/Successful-Flight-58
