My husband is getting fat

How did the trip go?

Like, the fat journey? What do you mean?

Sorry. Commented on the wrong comment. Meant to comment on the Christmas guy and Jennifer.

I hope my husband feels the same way about me. I’m trying to keep in better shape now that I have a little more time on my hands, but I’ve definitely put on weight since we started dating. My body is much fuller looking and my bottom has rounded out and fills in my jeans now. Thighs and belly are bigger and cup size increased (I know he likes the bigger **, 😊). But I’ve tried to shed some of the extra 40 pounds and it’s been so hard for me. I’ve only lost five pounds in three months.

I just read your whole post. I’m a dude. No problem with anything you just wrote. I bet your husband loves your new body.

Thank you for sharing! I’m not the OP, but your kind and honest words make me feel better about my recent weight gain. Thank you!

Don’t sweat it. Don’t go overboard with the gain, but there are plenty of men who are attracted to full-figured women.

Sounds like to me that you only became sexier. What’s the problem again?

Just be confident in your new shape and size and he will quickly start liking it if he doesn’t already. I think men are naturally attracted to curvy women.

I like this post! I’ve been watching my hubby’s tummy grow for years with glee. I love it!! 💗

Me, too!!! 😋

Why?!! I don’t get it...

I’ve also been watching my man’s belly grow and round out. It’s so cute now! I wouldn’t trade it for a six pack in a million years. 😘

My boyfriend is starting to develop a belly. I call it his “love belly” because he just wants to be with me because he is in love and isn’t trying to impress any other ladies now. 💕

The formation of a fat belly is a positive sign he is ready to settle down with you!

Are you worried that he’s just gonna get super fat on you?

My husband is entering the fat zone. He was skinny, then slightly chubby, then actually chubby, then starting to develop a belly over his belt, and now he is going full speed into the fat zone. He asked me to buy him size 42 pants and a new belt last week, and said he was sorry for how big he is. I don’t mind, though. He’s a wonderful person and the same guy I fell in love with. Now he’s just a much fatter version than the guy I fell in love with years ago.

More to love!

I don’t understand this at all. If my husband even gains ten pounds, he’s jumping on the treadmill for an hour a day until he gets back down to his marriage weight. I didn’t say “I do” to a marriage belly!

So much for “in sickness and in health” for this couple...

That’s definitely some pressure to stay thin. I hope you hold yourself to the same standard.

I get it. I’ve been sitting here each day during this quarantine time watching my once-skinny husband work on his computer and do his conference calls. His bloated belly just rests on his lap now as he types away, his XL shirt pulled tight over his belly button. It’s not attractive. Sometimes I just daydream about how his body used to look...

Lol. He will find that belly weight hard to lose!

I understand where you are coming from, but don’t forget that we will all age and not be in the same physical shape. It’s natural to not be in the same shape in your 60s that you were in your 20s.

I applaud your determination, but just remember that people are the most important. Your husband’s feelings and self worth are more important than ten extra pounds on his stomach.

Ha ha! This is totally my brother. He started dating this bigger girl, Jennifer, about six months before Christmas. He brought Jennifer to Christmas and she had fattened him up by 30 pounds in six months with all her bad eating habits. And we grew up very health-conscious as both of my parents routinely run marathons and made us eat like we were serious athletes, so imagine my parents faces when he waddled through the front door with his fluffy arm candy when they arrived for Christmas.

How did the Christmas visit go?

It went fine. She is a really nice person, so Jennifer fit in well with our family for the week she was here. My parents struggled a little bit with accepting my brother’s weight gain, though. My mom asked him about wanting any healthy recipes and my dad grilled him about his exercise regimen. But it’s pretty clear that Jennifer doesn’t enjoy exercising based on what she said she does in her free time, so I doubt he is going to exercise more while he dates her. My brother told me that Jennifer is a size 18-20, depending on the clothes brand, and that his jeans have gone from a 32 to a 36/38 while dating her. But he also said she is super awesome and an amazing girlfriend and that he is really happy.

Hey, I will trade a weight gain for a happy relationship any day. What’s the point of being skinny if you have no one to be skinny with?!

I too have found dating a big girl is awesome. I'm sure everyone is different but the relationship is definitely more laid back, enjoy the day. She didn't tell me to gain weight. I gained it myself because through her I realized life was a little more fun this way. Call me a risk-taker I suppose. Of course, with getting fat, the reward comes before the risk. But love and life is never risk-free anyway.

I think weight gain in a boyfriend is cute and a sign that she is really fulfilling him and making him happy. Your parents should be happy for him! 🙂

I am glad they are happy, but I think he will continue to gain as his appetite will increase with a larger girlfriend. I know from experience. 30 pound gain in 6 months is a lot! Do you think he will gain?

I'm married to a bigger girl and I actually like that I got bigger with her. I feel a little more substantial, like I'm not a stick anymore, like Kermit the Frog, next to her stunning curves that I love. I'm more like Seth Rogen, perhaps not as cool as Vin Diesel, but better than Kermit, and she's certainly happy.

How much weight did you put on?

As a woman who has fattened up her own husband, I can assure you that it’s better. He treats you better if you cook well, ** is better when he’s fat and he is much nicer as a person at heavier weights. I highly recommend it. 👍🏻 👍🏻 😘

Very true. Fat ** is great **. Feels much more soft and **!

I agree. In the bedroom, a woman with plump curves is so ** compared to a 5% body fat triathlete woman.

Yes. Having a bigger woman in bed is much more pleasurable, especially if she is confident in her size.

My wife and I have yo-yoed in weight up and down during our marriage. +/- 40-50 pounds for both of us throughout the marriage, usually within the same timing. We both get lazy. Then we both exercise together and get in better shape. Then get lazy again and watch Netflix instead, etc. It’s like a constant cycle. Right now we are skinnier, dropping a combined 100 lbs. over the last year. But we both agree that we enjoy each other’s bodies more sexually when we are at our heaviest. I’ve told my wife I love the extra cushion when she’s overweight and how her body looks. And she’s told me the same thing. And we both mean it. We both joke about it when we are skinny and say that we aren’t living our best ** lives! So take it from someone who has been there and done that both ways, fat ** is better **.

Yea, this guy gets it. My wife has been a size 2/4 and up to a size 12/14. The 12/14 is much sexier in the bedroom! I’ve never encouraged her to lose weight because it feels so good, sexually.

How much have you packed on him? Any weight gain tips?

This post resonates with me because my wife was 170 lbs when we married and had gained 50 more lbs. over the last couple years. I’ve really enjoyed watching her body fatten up and I’m extremely attracted to her new size. I don’t really want her to gain much more, but I like how she looks and feels now.

What areas on her have fattened up that you like the most?

She gained a lot of weight in her hips and thighs. Her belly is now a bulge with a flatter belly button crease. And obviously her breaths filled out. And I’m not complaining about any of it! All the extra fat is very well placed on her body. She carries it well.

I think you meant to type **. But sounds like it all worked out well for you.

My husband plays on a soccer rec team with many of his old teammates that stayed in town or have eventually moved back home after being away for college and careers. It’s like a league for older guys who still love to play. Except the difference is now they can’t run for 90 minutes straight and their athleticism has been replaced with some extra lbs.
The wives just sit on the sidelines and laugh and gossip about how chubby their men have become and how their husbands will dissect the game on the way home like they can still play like when they were in their teens and early 20s. Newsflash tubs! You can’t play that same way with a bowling ball belly. This isn’t 20 years ago!
It’s still fun to watch them play and have a good time, and even funnier to watch those butterballs chase after a soccer ball all night with their bellies bouncing. ⚽️

Ha ha! Butterballs! I think a lot of wives can relate.

This sounds exactly like my husband and his friends, except it’s basketball. 🏀

My now fiancé started working at a small family-owned Italian restaurant in college to help pay for his apartment and tuition. The owner and his wife were on the heavy side and encouraged my then boyfriend to take home extra food. That was 50 pounds ago! I do enjoy his new body, though! It’s more fun to cuddle with. And his employers are going to cater our wedding for free! 🍝

Italy has one of the lowest divorce rates in Europe and one of the lowest among developed countries. Italian women know how to keep a man and Italian food can take a new hubby off the dating market and out of the nightclub scene -- presto! Guess, his employers were just trying to help you get an early start.

Mexico is even lower! Spanish has several words for fat depending on whether you're talking about actual fat, getting fat, etc. But when a Latina feeds her hubby into a fat man, with love, she'll usually call him her "gordito". It's actually a term of endearment in Spanish.

Oh, and if you hear your Latina girlfriend saying you are "tan flaco" (so skinny), be aware that she's implying you won't stay that way for long. Mexican food can fix that real fast.

Take out the spaces ...

It's a perfect example. She's basically telling him to get so FAT (gordo) that other women won't be interested in him. Even shoving food in his mouth :)

Yep! That video explains it perfectly! 🌮

Americans are actually much fatter than Italians. 75%/80% of American adults are overweight, women and men. That number is 40%/55% for Italian women and men. But the divorce rate in Italy is also almost half of the US divorce rate. So they are skinnier and more of their marriages last. Maybe we should all eat more pasta and pizza. 🇮🇹

It's not necessarily the fat that matters, but how the fattening happens. A lot of American men are fat from fast food and junk food.

There's an old saying: "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." But if it's McDonald's that put a belly on him, there's no connection to a relationship. It's fast food just like a quick marriage.

But if you see a traditional relationship in some cultures -- a fattening up with BOTH calories and love, that's different. It becomes a sensual experience. She's spoiled you, she's made you fat, she's claimed you now. Your new waistline is an announcement of that. It's convenient that fat is such a visible and generally permanent change, because that's the intent of the marriage, too.

Yes, I think this poster is correct. There is something about a woman getting her man chubby with her love and care. It’s not about neglect at that point And him giving up on trying to be in shape. It’s about her demonstrating her love for him with things he likes and him adding the weight on throughout their lives together.

A lot of the comments on here remind me of the girls who date the nerds in college. Sure, a meathead might be nice to parade by your friends, but that nerd will likely make you happier in the long run being able to take care of a family and smart enough to pay the bills.

In the same way, Mr. Six Pack will turn heads at the beach, but it won't be so fun if he harasses you about your post-baby pudge or is gone at the gym three nights a week turning heads there. Mr. Tubby will feel a whole lot cozier on a cold stormy night.

Makes that boy in the Computer Science lab with a pizza grease stain a little more interesting. Especially if you like pizza too.

Amen to that! Look at the long term, not just the here and now. There are a lot of great guys who don’t look like 10s on the outside but are 10s on the inside!

If you want him big and fat for yourself then you better always treat him right!

I think that is true. Don’t make him fat and then dump him. That’s not cool.

I’m glad some people don’t desire a rock hard set of abs and slim physique. That’s unattainable for some of us and a ton of work to maintain. I’m into being healthy, and not sure how I feel about a belly, but I like that a lot of the comments are accepting of body changes and some weight gain. That seems like a more realistic perspective.

I have to admit I was a bit surprised when this popped up as the second most commented post in relationship confessions!

But then again, I've personally seen the wonders a belly can achieve.

I have a coworker who's a gentle giant, friendly, patient, family man, great relationship with his wife. I was shocked recently to hear that he was a frat boy j erk in college. But like many guys, as holes included, the way to his heart was through his stomach, and his girlfriend, later wife, proceeded to stuff him like a turkey. Trading in abs for a full belly and a big gut seems to have mellowed him out. It's weird to think about how awesome he is now compared to how he might have been if he was still a meat head.

I guess what I'm saying is some of you fattening women might be doing this just to a have a little padding in the bedroom or a little more security in a relationship. But a lot of times, you're doing future friends, coworkers, employees, and many others a favor too. So thanks!

Yea, I agree. Most men who gain some weight become less confident. That less confidence translates to less jerkiness. And everyone, including the wife/gf, benefit from less of a **.

I don't mind confidence. But downright arrogance has to go. Sometimes a little dad bod helps with that. Other times it takes a triple chin, man **, chafing thighs, and a swaying gut!

Usually, the bigger the belly, the bigger the teddy bear. They get emotionally softer as their tummies get softer. 🧸

Yep, keep em growing till they're as sweet as you want em

I’ve enjoyed the security, definitely enjoyed the extra padding in the bedroom, and he is definitely sweeter. Not sure if the extra sweetness is because he’s gotten older or fatter, but I will take it!!

The quarantine has wrecked my boyfriend’s workout schedule. He was starting to get some belly fat collecting on his taunt tummy before we were put on lockdown, and he’s now full blown on a belly formation. He was trying to manscape last night and had to literally grab his new belly and lift it up to see down where we wanted to trim up. I just laughed and asked him if he wanted me to do it instead thanks to his new belly friend! Ha ha!

Hmm, if you two are getting serious, he maybe should think about putting a ring on it before he gets too fat for anyone else to love! Just a thought he might be having about now :)

He’s a good kind of fat right now. Not too big, but not as skinny as he was. The extra weight actually looks good on him. Makes him look more manly and less of that teenager-type body he had before. Besides that, I love him and would gladly accept a ring, so a little belly won’t deter the level of commitment I already have. 💍

Some men (and women) look better at a heavier weight, especially when they carry their weight well. Some men look better with that stocky or husky look. Some women look better with that big curve look.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Him and his new best friend, his belly!! 💕

Yep, it’s a sure sign that you are trending fat if you have to lifer part of your tummy to look under it!

Oh, for sure. His abs are gone, covered with a soft layer of belly.

Yep, that’s a true sign that you are trending fat. If you have to lift part of your stomach to see below it, you just might be a fatty.

He will find that hard to lose lol

Love it when a woman has a ** belly bulge. I can pinch and play with that soft belly fat all day!

Yea, this guy is telling the truth. Don’t worry about your belly fat, ladies. Only a ** will hold that against you. But a gentleman will appreciate how ** your body is because you are a beautiful woman, even if you have a belly roll.

Yep, totally into that. Belly bulge is just fine with this man! Don’t hide it from me. Just let me appreciate it.

Yea. Don’t knock it until you try it. You get your hands on a plump belly and nice love handles during **, it’s another world!
