I’m No Longer Attracted To My Husband



Dear Lady. Ann:

My husband and I have been married for over 10 years now and we’ve been together since I was 15. He was my first love and I was his. We have 3 kids together and we used to have a very happy relationship. He is the only man I have ever loved, and I have always wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. The problem is he has added a lot of weight in the past 2 years.

We all used to joke about it at first, but I can hardly smile about it now. I have mentioned it a few times that he needs to watch his weight, but he gets so offended each time I bring it up. I also tried introducing healthier meals, but he never eats them. He ends up eating all the wrong foods and in large proportions.

I go to the gym every weekend and he never comes along. When we have sex, I feel so disgusted. He has excess fat all over the place, I can’t stand the sight of it. When he comes on top of me, I feel like the whole world is on me, but he is so sensitive, I can hardly tell him the truth. We constantly argue, and I just got tired of repeating myself. My marriage has become a shadow of what it used to be. I don’t even know if I still love him. What do I do Lady. Ann?

#DLATribe, how else can she encourage her husband to lose some weight?
