Loosing weight to help your relationship?

Question

Has anyone ever felt like maybe their significant other wasn't attracted to them anymore so sex became really infrequent ? If so an you lost weight did it make them desire you more ?

Answer

I was put on medication I had to be on for my health and it caused me to gain 30 lbs over the course of the past 6 months . I eat really healthy but it was inevitable with the meds  I was hoping it wouldn't happen but it did. My boyfriend would newer tell me that's the cause of our lack of sex he says it stress but part if me feels he just loves me and would never want to hurt me . He always tell me I'm beautiful he's never put me down ever but I just feel like maybe that's the issue and I just wanted for know if anyone decided to work on their fitness and it improved their sex life . I can now be off the medication so I have a clean slate to loose the weight

Answer

We worked out together for a month and he began to feel better and have more confidence and we had better sex. He did make observations about how our bodies were changing in good ways and it did turn him on. I recommend myfitnesspal app to everyone because it's a great tool for seeing nutritional needs, logging exercise and for setting healthy goals. Consider building muscle :) I don't think weight is the end-all though, so just talk about it calmly and without throwing blame and try to get at it at different times of the day.

Answer

I had a hard time losing weight after my first. When I finally did, my ex husband still didn't want anything to do with me. I told him to take a hike, I deserve better than a shallow asshole.

Answer

I would have a conversation with your SO about what has made the sex less frequent. It could be stress or something work related that is distracting him or just taking his mind off sex. If losing weight would make you feel more confident then by all means make some healthy changes BUT focus on the emotional connection with your hubby first and foremost! Good luck!!

Answer

For my husband and I yes... I was pregnant and gained weight.. He didn't like the belly and we never had sex... (He wanted the baby and begged me to get pregnant and I finally agreed to it) after the baby was born I still had some weight on me and we stil didn't have sex and he would be just an asshole to me about my weight.. I lost some weight cuz he is not motivating me just degrading me. But we are starting to have sex again not as much as before but I guess it's s start 😕

Answer

It depends whether you'd say your over weight or not? I mean your partner should love you whatever but then again that shouldn't mean it's okay to put on several stone and become obese I'd still love my boyfriend but I would find him less attractive and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't  but because I love him I'd encourage him to lose weight not just egnore it. Maybe if you feel over weight and feel like this getting into shape will give you more confidence? And in turn maybe will help? Maybe your partner is to scared to tell you incase he hurts your feelings however if your in good shape already then maybe there is other issues?
