I'm not sure what to make of it or if it really means anything at all, but I've noticed some physical changes in my waw recently.

At the very beginning of this ordeal with W (almost 2 years), she was frequenting the gym about 3 times a week. She bought a totally new wardrobe and was running around with her new (younger) girlfriends about two nights a week. Of course, the time I was living with her I was unaware of OM who was/is still in prison.

Recently, I've noticed her gaining weight and not going to the gym or out with her girlfriends as much as she use to. She is the heaviest I've seen her since we started dating 10 years ago.

For obvious reasons, I know I can't ask her about this sudden weight gain, but my curiosity is getting the best of me. What does this mean? She was so conscience about her appearance just a few months ago and since than she has let herself go. I was over the house just last week and she was literally gnawing off the head of a chocolate Easter bunny. You wouldn't have seen her eating anything other than salad and soup just a few months ago.

I just don't understand what she's going through right now, she's gone from one extreme to another. Subsequently, her affection towards me is increasing along with her weight. I almost feel as if she is somehow "settling" for me. This is something I definitely don't want. I'm very confused about this and would appreciate any advice. What's going on here?
