I read a story, possibly made up, where a man successfully divorced his wife back in the days before no fault divorce where his reason was all she would ever make was split pea soup, and he filed for divorce where after begging her to change it up and make a sandwhich she poured split pea soup on bread and gave it to him.

speaking of pea soup, we have a so-called "italian salad" in denmark that's basically mayonnaise + peas + bits of carrot. green white red, like the flag yeah?

idk when it was invented, but at my great grandparents 50th annivessary in like 1933 or something, anyway the local guy with the van drove them to the party & so obv he was invited in cause it was a small town & it would be mean to leave him outside.

anyway he ate all the decorative italian salad with a spoon and asked for more "stewed peas" as he thought they were. how they laughed at the poor prole. hard enough that the story has survived almost a hundred years

i interned at a bay area company during my phd. i made 7500 a month, got a free laptop, and had a free corporate apartment overlooking the bay bridge.

then again, this was a real company not a pissant startup.

Oh, I wasn't imagining a living salary, but I guess the story doesn't rule it out. The word "intern" just makes me imagine they were working for ramen and job experience...for three years.

The bay area computer-y PhD candidates I know worked as founders, advisors, contractors, or house-spouses. Or maybe they were all interns and lied to me because they could tell I'd flip out like an idiot over that title.

he's living paycheck-to-paycheck and even the non-intern staff are so poorly paid that the execs don't think they could find anyone else who'd agree to their salary so the situation is more like you're thinking than the deece six figgies intern

The opposite of Krav Maga guy

Me [26] with my wife [27], she's lost a lot of weight and now I'm not nearly as attracted to her.

quote:

So my wife and I have been together for 6 years now and she's always been, well, big. Personally, though, I am much more attracted to more filled out women. Not necessarily fat, but well proportioned and large. (Tall, wide hips, big boobs and butt).
My wife for as long as we knew each other was always like that and I loved it. Over time she became very confident in her body and it was super sexy.
Then we got married and she decided she wanted to lose weight. Not being an rear end in a top hat, I encouraged her and took part too. Well in the 2 years of marriage, I've lost 80 pounds.
She did, too. Now I'm not as physically attracted to her as I used to be. Her boobs and butt have shrunk considerably and she has a lot of excess, loose skin that tends to make a slapping noise when we have sex.
Anyone else go through this? I'm at a loss as to what to do. I really don't want to tell her how I feel because I really, really don't want her to re-gain weight (she's so much happier and healthier without it), and I'm worried that if I DO mention it, that's all she'll want to do.
tl;dr - wife lost weight and now I'm not nearly as physically attracted to her as I used to be.
Any advice is appreciated.

Also this comment

Edit: Skin removal surgery is also an option but it is a major surgery and the recovery is long and it will leave her with scars. However, if this is something she is interested in you can help her by looking into it.
It's also expensive as hell as it's purely a cosmetic procedure. My cousin is in the middle of getting her skin removed after a massive weight loss. It's costing her thousands of dollars to get done (though she has lost about 30 lbs of skin so far).

30 lbs of SKIN?! :stare:

e: I don't know maybe skin weighs more than I think, the comment above it mentions 40 lbs of skin
