It is interesting how we see our spouses in a different light during these stages. Immediately after discovering EA years ago and during MC I would notice that my W looked better than ever. Her skin was smoother and she seemed to glow. Of course, she was exercising more in anticipation of a rendezvous.
Not so much this go-round. W has a pooch and I can tell she isn't drinking enough water.
The reason I point this out is that I believe some may be actual and some of our own personal filter.
Obviously, people that are tormented by personal struggles can display physical signs of stress.
Last time I lost several lbs in the trauma drama diet. Not so much this time. At 6', I'm 210 and want to lose 15lbs. I have never been over a 38 waist but would prefer 34.

Anyway, good for you.
