Living With an Unattractive Partner

So what to do when you are no longer physically attracted to your partner? Well, the word fat is often used to connote ugly. Sometimes you may be living in hell trying to hint to your unsightly spouse to hit the gym lakini wapi. Learning to share bed with all MASS may sound pragmatic but painful and unrealistic. Nobody needs an immobile and WHEEZING drum for a partner.

There are no two way in addressing a growing midstream. Being philosophical may make you look witty but then you don’t need sharp wits in bed, or do you? Cutting the mother figure is no excuse to make your body the bin for all junkies and fat on this planet. Only action oriented towards burning fat will do. As a spouse, get involved in your partner’s life and help him/her retrace the ex-shape that made you go gaga.

Wheezing drum
Sex and all its derivative pleasantries are the FIRST casualties of overlapping tummies and near-immobile limbs. Women are particular cagey about their weights and pointing this out requires plenty of tact alloyed in utmost sensitivity to their feelings. You must endeavour never to offend whoever you intend to help lead a beautiful and happy life. And no matter the reluctance to hit the gym you must not give up on her either. So you either face the problem head on or shy away in gnawing silence so as to REAP growing indifference to sex.

Forget about all the poetry and semantics that her beauty resides inside and that the outside doesn't matter. That white lie is not sustainable in the long run; banish it immediately it hits your lips. The only known cure to this explosive phenomenon in relationship is to adopt a collective mindset in confronting the weight monster. No half measures will suffice. And prescription for the cure is only dispensed in effective communication. No substitute. All the excuses about children and finances only become practical issues with a listening ear and a heart to join in the solution.
