I was once asked if I would break up with someone for gaining 50 pounds and I said "yes". My ex-wife put on 30 pounds during her pregnancy with our daughter and I stood by her paying her as much...

Someone putting on a lot of weight doesn't necessarily mean they don't have the same personality. Nor does it mean they just "decided" to put on the weight. If we're going to talk pregnancy here, a lot...

Okay, perhaps some clarification would help keep me from being lynched... First, I'm not talking pregnancy. Second, I'm not talking medical issues. What am I talking about? Someone, who simply lets...

I've seen the very same lifestyle/eating habit change. One of our friends just got a divorce. They both joined our health club. A year plus later he loses weight, she doesn't. She cares for 3 kids, a...

My husband has gained a little bit of weight, but I haven't breathed a single word about it to him. I think it's rude, for one thing. He's had a pretty touch year and he's allowed to let himself go....

50 pounds wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. Would I be concerned? Yes Might I be less attracted? Maybe Would I suggest better food choices/working out? Yes But end the relationship on the sole factor...

I am attracted to skinny-average people, I would not want to be with someone that let their body go THAT much. Even on medication, when you start noticing the weight gain, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT....

It only gets harder to maintain weight as the years pass too. Even if you stay active and healthy. It's just nature, for many people. Believe me, I am speaking scientifically, not just personally. Any...

Great question, strangebrew! No, I would not break up solely over a weight gain (or loss, for that matter). Nor would I break up over any other significant physical change (including: loss of hair;...

@Wicked Whine, I agree that a person is the sum of their parts. I've known women whom I would never have thought of as physically stunning on their own, but as I got to know them, became very...

I would not! There are too many factors that can contribute to the weight gain. Stress, medical, depression, getting older, our bodies just change. If no one wanted to be with people that were 50+...

Strangebrew - you are right, people who were thin and suddenly gain 50 lbs do often act differently. It is stress, depression or low self worth. As a partner, you need to do whatever you can to build...

I absolutely agree that effort should be made to work with your partner. It seems people read into my question, that I would dump a person immediately and that's simply not the case. But let's say,...

Um, no. I may be concerned about their health and encourage a healthier lifestyle, but to dump someone over something as stupid as that is ridiculous. I gained 60lbs in two months when I got on birth...

The weight alone wouldn't be means for a break up, no. If my boyfriend were to gain a bunch of weight, I'd encourage him to start exercising with me or help make healthier meals together, etc. Though...

I would say absolutely not!! I have put on nearly 100 pounds in the 4 years I've been with my husband. I have PCOS and it causes me to gain weight easily and it makes it much harder to lose weight....
