Have to disagree. Yes, you should try to remain attractive to your husband, but he did vow before God to remain faithful to you. Your weight wasn't mentioned, and it's no excuse for infidelity. - Steve0113
You're misunderstanding my point. I'm not saying that if I get fat my husband is allowed to break his vow. I just think that there is an unspoken pact when you get married to at least attempt to keep in shape. It's not fair to him to expect him to be monogamous but not care what I physically look like to him. It's just not fair to do that to somebody you're supposed to love. I didn't take a vow when I married to remain thin, but I also didn't take a vow to be a good mother to his children, either, or to help clean the house, etc. It's just the right thing to do. I expect him to be monogamous, and would leave him in a heartbeat if he isn't, but I certainly can help make this easier by trying to look good for him. If I don't look good, he still can't stray. I'm 5'6", 120 lbs. (5 lbs more than before kids, but what the hell? I like to eat 3 meals a day & ice cream).
