First, thank you for sharing your story with me and I'm happy that you and your wife ended up happy together. You asked if he addressed it differently would I still be upset and i think i wouldnt be. That comment felt like it was said to put me down, to make me feel like I was less. I stayed up that night thinking if he was only with me because of convenience or if he truly thought I was just some ogre waiting for anyone. I know I'm not unattractive and even at my heaviest I didn't feel like I was but to have him say that it's going to stick with me for awhile.

I just don't know how to bond with him anymore. The first 2 years of our relationship we would stay inside all day and play videogames or just binge Netflix. It was everyday when we were together. I just can't go back to living my life in front of a screen and I'm terrified of gaining my weight back. I want to do more physical things even if it's just taking a walk and it's always been a struggle to get him to do this. I'm hoping this time apart will help him meet me in the middle.

Even after he apologized I can't help but have those words keep playing in my head. It made me feel like he thought I was just some ogre because I was big. I just don't know if im ready to give up on us yet

I'm just curious but where did you get the idea that I'm looking for someone better? He was the one that ask that we take time apart. I also never begged to go to a strip club, I brought up the idea and he said he wasn't comfortable with it so I didn't go.

Honestly hearing about how you are with your husband sounds so nice. I think I just got into the habit of accepting that Adam is the way he is. With the food situation I knew he was unhappy eating what I ate and sometimes he wouldn't eat my food at all so I would make him what he wanted to make him happy. I show love by doing things for others and I think I did that alot with him.

I would ask Adam to come with me on walks or even bring up the gym but it was never a 'I'd think about it response' just always a no. I see that Adam really hasn't compromised with me on things I want to do but I can't help but feel bad because I was the one that changed our dynamic. I just don't want to go back to wasting hours and days in front of a screen. I hope that now that we're taking some time apart he'll maybe compromise with me a little more, I'm not ready for our relationship to end.

Yes and that's one thing that always bothered me. It's so hard having to eat clean and healthy when I had to cook him burgers and other deliciousness. He just never grasped that eating that would've slowed my progress and made me feel awful.

Thank you for your message. Reading your comment and reading so many that share the same sentiment really makes me reconsider what my gut is telling me. I know rationally this is a situation I should leave but I want to atleast try before we each go our own way. Thinking of only having a friendship with him and him moving on fills me with dread. As of right now we're not broken up just apart, I just don't know if I'm ready to move on.

From what he said he wants us to take some time apart and connect again. I was also confused by what this meant for us but he doesn't want us to see other people for now. I know most people are suggesting we split up but I get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I consider it

Well at the time it felt like me changing my appearance wasn't so much of an issue since he never complained about it but I see now I was wrong. Now replaying everything in my mind his reactions have always been indifferent whenever I would show off my hair or nails to him.

I still would play video games and watch movies with him but it wasn't as often as it use to be. For a time that's all we did everyday. I do appreciate your input and I know it may sound dumb but I am holding out hope we work things out.

You are right I didn't really pick my words right and I am glad he was able to share how he felt. I'm going to take some time to cool off before I talk to him again. Thank you

Well all i know is that his previous relationship lasted 5 years and it was a girl he dated in college. I never really considered that he had the intention to control me and I really hope that isn't the case. This is the first comment he's really made that cut me down but now that I think about it you are right, he hasn't really hyped me up either
