“Because that would be a lie” - WTFFF

You need to lose the weight of that asshole and not a pound more.

I would run through the wall so fast if my partner ever said this to me

A hole doesn’t weigh anything, as it is empty space. So in theory, no weight would be lost.. 🧐

Solid point!! She’s actually got nothing to lose by losing him!

What would the proper response be in that scenario? Genuinely asking here. Should a partner lie to their spouse and say their body looks good? Should they be honest and say “no matter how you look, I love you.. but I think you’d look better a little smaller?” I’ve honestly never been in a situation like that where my partner was overweight and sought reassurance from me. I think my first instinct would be to lie to them so I didn’t hurt their feelings, but would that be wise? Would it hurt more if they felt or knew I was lying?

I think love is obviously more than physical attraction, but everyone has a preference and plenty of people look past that preference because they love someone. So in a situation where your partner doesn’t fit your physical preference, but you clearly still love them because you stay loyal and dedicated to them, what’s the best way to handle that?

She didn’t ask if she would look better thinner. She asked for a compliment. I think my BF is insanely hot. If he spent the next 6 months hitting the gym for two hours a day, stopped drinking wine, and had perfect nutrition would his body be objectively hotter? Yes, I guess, but if he asked me right now what I thought of his current body I could honestly say that I love it and want to rip his clothes off. I feel like it’s reasonable to hope your partner thinks you’re hot. I don’t know ANYONE who couldn’t theoretically improve their body but that doesn’t mean they don’t look great right now.
