Good reply. She didn't divorce him, and he continues to avoid her, because she is fat.

But, you are wrong about one thing..she's not a witch. Very sweet lady. Go figure..oh well.

No doubt, there is many a bastard out there, but I think you'd have to agree women are much more conscious of their "public face" than men.If you had my direct experience with these chameleons, you wouldn't be so sure of your friends virtue, I think.

You may well be right, but these things are often misunderstood when they problems of a couple are relayed by one person. Is she sweet around you. Yes. Is she sweet when the doors are closed, you really don't know. I have seen this time and again. The nicest people in the world playing the "pity poor me" thing until everyne hates the husband, and then come to find out later that things were very much different than they were portrayed.

Did you hear the man say "I don't love my wife anymore because she is fat"? If you didn't hear those words from his mouth, then you really cannot make that claim as a fact. It may be your opinion, but it's not a fact.

If you did hear him say those exact words, then I agree with you. They guy is a scumbag.

But there are two sides to every story, and when two women get together, the man's side seems to vanish completely into the whole "women good, men bad" orgy that seems to be genetically predesposed.

It's not always easy to be a woman, but sometimes it can be downright hard to be a man. Men rarely have people to run off to and bitch to their wives about. At least nobody who cares.

I'm pretty sure that is confronted with this exact arguement, the husand would have a slightly different take on it that the wife. And the fact that she is your good friend means that you are probably very biased, which is not bad, but rather human nature.

I would encourage everyone else to reserve judgement though. If a man doesn't love his wife because she gained weight, then he never loved her in the first place. Love is not contingent on such things. So if that is truly the case, then that was NEVER a marriage based on love, IMHO ... and that brings a whole new set of potential faults into the equation.

If you are ging to marry someone who wants you only for your looks, you better stay looking good ... because you know (or at least should know) going into it that this is what the marriage is based on.
