While I do think you look better in the 135# picture, you are far from "fat" at 155#. Do you get any sense that he is more attracted to you at the heavier weight?

I don't try to force feed my wife, but her idea of an "ideal weight" for herself is at least 10# lighter than what I think she should weigh.

I'll have to agree with a few of the others - it might not be that he literally WANTS you to be fat, he just doesn't want you to be more attractive to other men. You're an attractive woman and he may fear that if you lose anymore weight, you're gonna have guys all over you.

I know that since I've lost my weight, my husband has become a little more insecure with himself. Like sometimes I'll go out with my friend Kathy. And while he doesn't mind me going out, he'll say stupid things like, "Oh you guys just want to go out and find some young sexy men to flirt with." And one time he actually went as far as damn near accusing her and I of hooking up with a couple of guys and going back to Kathy's place with them. I finally told him, "Look, you're just gonna have to trust me. If you honestly believe I'd do that to you, then there's a problem here."

Since that little talk he's backed off quite a bit, but he still fishes for compliments from me because he wants to know if I still find him attractive. I feel kinda sorry for the guy sometimes, but it can get real annoying.

Really, hon, the best way to find out why your husband does what he does is to simply ask him.
