Link them to this thread?

So, if you live in Marple Bridge, and are married to a milkman called Craig...LAY OFF THE PIES!

Offer to do something active together, or take on more of the cooking/shopping duties? Or when they buy new clothing, ask what's wrong with the old stuff. "how come you never wear that dress anymore"

If you've noticed then the chances are that he or she has noticed well before you. Don't do or say anything.

You could always get on with you own perfect life and let them get on with theirs?

what ever way you tell them it WILL be your fault ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

joking aside it all depends on what type of relationship you have as to how to approach this, only you can decided this as you know your partner.

Make beeping noises when she walks backwards .

Buy a trombone and play it when ever she moves.

Arrange for builders to come round to quote for widening the doors.

Everytime she sits on the sofa/gets in bed, pretend to be flung up in the air.

Um...ok, i'm all out of mean 'funny' responses.

In reality I'm not sure...me and the wife joke about our flabby stomachs (although neither of us are fat really, just getting older). I'm not sure how I would tell my wife that she's getting less attractive cos she fat.

Perhaps tell her that you're lookin for local gyms for you two to go to as you think your BOTH out of shape (rather than singling her out), although this only works if you are also slightly out of shape.

Or you could subtly suggest going through your old clothes for charity shops, and ask her if some
of her clothes from a few years ago still fit...that might five you an opening to discuss her weight.

Alternatively, bite the bullet and say "you're getting fat, and I don't fancy you as much as I used to, could you think about eating less and exercising more?".

As was mentioned, she probably already knows.

Buy her some really expensive undercrackers, two sizes too small. Then tell her you'd have bought a 'G' string but you were worried she'd look like a joint of rolled pork.

I wouldn't have any problem telling my misses at all. If your that close to somebody there are no barriers are there? She tells me im fat and even insults my mother by saying shes a fat pig. You should be able to be straight with each other. If you have only just got together then thats different.

If she is genuinely overeating then you need to ask her why. Is she unhappy? Anything different in her demeanour?

my mrs just told me i was getting too big.
i got weighed and agreed with her.........and i am now over 2 stone lighter.
fat people know that they are fat trust me. it is just bad habits and lazyness that stops us from doing the right thing.
saviours like Idave and Solo are here to show us the way..... ๐Ÿ˜€

She knows, you need to help make the changes in both your lifestyles to help her sort it.

My gf is by no means fat but she thinks she is, i got her started on a road bike last year and this year she is doing a divina's divas charity ride as a challenge. she has really enjoyed it

Can you do the cooking? say you fancy going on a diet, sick of eating fatty manky food makes you feel unhealthy

Both go to pilates classes together?

Buy a tuba, learn to play it in secret. Then follow her round doing a simple bom bom bom song. She'll get the idea..

Sorry to Hijack
difficult one this im somewhere at the oposite end of the issue . but I have been friends with this woman for years and we have allways had a thing. she is smart, sucessfull (70k a year job) Interesting , Kind, caring giving & would make good wife material .she wants to get together propperly but i have an issue. She is far from unatractive, but she is a little overweight and heavier set, call me shallow but i just dont get that sexual spark from her and that worries me, so much so that have actualy got the droop whilst engaged in it with her.

I have allways had relationships with Slim or Skinny women thats what floats my boat. I could have a great life with this lady but i Just dont fancy her ..and for me good sex is a huge part of any sucessfull relationship ..

Dont know weather to just be straight with her or **** it off !
