I love this piece written by a guy and thought every married man, attached guy and women should read.

Is there ever a right time to tell your wife her bottom is getting fat? Is it safe, if you do it in a joking, affectionate way, to tell your girlfriend that her thighs seem to have grown ever so slightly wobblier than they were when first you met?


The answer to both of these questions is, of course, never. Never, ever, ever. Not if you say it in a loving way; not if you say it in the spirit of constructive criticism; not if actually the exact opposite has happened and you’re just being ironic; not if you’ve just taken her shopping on Bruton Street and you think you have earned yourself a Get out of Jail Free card; not even if she has canvassed your opinion and has specifically asked you to be totally honest. Not even then. In fact, especially not then.

The reason a man should never say these things is that a woman will take it badly. Trust me, I know.

    I’m not sure I agree. From the time we were living together, my wife started gaining weight. By the time we got married,she was definitely on the plump side, but soon after the wedding, she really started packing on the pounds. I figure she must be around 300 pounds at this point. She says she’s happy that way, but what about me?
