Husband watching his weight?

Question

Ok, for those women that are married. Do your husbands watch their weight? Like to stay fit or not gain weight?
We’ve been together for 10 years, married 7. My husband is careful and tries not to gain weight. A few weeks ago he started to skip breakfast. The reason for him was he is working late and had dinner late. Since we always get up early he still wasn’t hungry and said it would only make him gain weight if he had breakfast than. 
My friends think it’s weird, saying he is married. Why would he be so afraid to gain weight if he is already married...almost making it sound as if they thought he was cheating or something 🤦🏻‍♀️ saying their husbands didn’t care about their weight. Opinions on this? All those years I’ve know him he has been like this, it’s not new.

Answer

Since when does taking care of yourself mean cheating

Answer

That’s not weird at all... totally normal
Many men who are happily married care about their physical fitness, it’s just part of their personality

Answer

My man started going to the gym and getting fit after our first baby. He wanted to be healthy and feel good for himself. It's weird that people think just because someone is married that they shouldn't want to take care of themselves

Answer

Do you need to be single to care about your weight and health?
Everyone should watch their weight and take care of their health, married or not. I'm not sure why people think gaining weight, diabetes and hypertension are a normal step after you get married. Lol

Answer

Watching weight. Or taking care of ones self does not equal cheating. This would be like saying “oh she still puts on makeup every day even though she’s married. Must be cheating!”
It’s ridiculous please don’t listen to your friends on this one

Answer

It’s not weird, it’s smart! Men are more prone to things such as heart disease and typically genetics don’t help either. My husband and I have been together 15 years and about 2 years ago he lost 40 pounds and I couldn’t be prouder. He wants to be healthy for both himself as well as our family in order to live as long as he can so we can enjoy life and watch our children grow.

Answer

Wtf your friends are weird. My husband watches what he eats and works out 5x a week. We both do. Literally all of our friends work to stay in shape too and we’re all married and well into our 30s. What’s wrong with wanting to stay healthy and feel good in your own skin? Not to mention wanting to set good and healthy examples for your children? People who use marriage as an excuse to let themselves go and claim if their partner stayed in shape they’d be doing it because they have a side-fling going on have deeper issues they need to work on, or are simply jealous your partner cares when theirs don’t.

Answer

Every morning before work my husband hits the gym for 1-2 hours. That means he’s up at like 4:30a. It’s what he enjoys. Being married isn’t an excuse to become unhealthy.

Answer

Sort of like intermittent fasting. I dont see what's wrong with wanting to be healthy even though your married.

Answer

It might be weird if he never watched his weight before and hasn’t mentioned it but this sounds like it’s in his normal routine. My husband doesn’t think he needs to watch his weight since we are already together but I like being active, so he doesn’t have a choice. Marriage doesn’t mean you have to ‘let yourself go’. There are obviously situations where priorities change and exercising can take a backseat but it’s not a given just because you got married.
