LOL Maybe we have been hijacking over on Hair Dog's post. The topic is appearance. It is interesting I think. Because while I do think plastic surgery can be very evasive and a hard topic to bring up or expect from a spouse I do believe appearance is important. I CAN understand that men ARE visual.
I am thinking of a couple I knew back when. The wife had gained 200 pounds. She wore sweats with food stains on them. She wouldn't wear deoderant and had big pit stains. She was mad as heck when her husband finally got up the nerve to say something. She thought she should love her the way she was. I understand we can gain weight with pregnancy. But we can lose it with enough will power. The same with men in relationships. I have seen this scenario also....
Take my FIL for instance. He told my MIL she had not better get fat. Now he did this before marriage so she married him knowing this. But see he don't hold himself to that standard. He is about 40-50 pounds overweight. Has let his teeth go and is in need of major dental restoration. He will sit around the house in just shorts. It's like he has no clue how unappealing he is at all. But yet downs anyone who is overweight.
