Yup. The OP painted it as the most obnoxious thing and the beard was pretty gross and everyone in the family universally loved it (because they were all in on the bit) but the update plot twist made the whole thing really cute.

Tater Love

How do I (29F) tell my husband (27M) he's getting fat u/HIITBunny7m I love my husband. He's great and ridiculously handsome. Before we got together, about ten years ago, he was super fat. He's 6'1 and he was 300 lbs at one time. He started working out and lost about 90lbs. He was a bit chubby when I met him, about 210lbs, but he was still VERY attractive. He looks kind of like a chubby Charlie Hunam. I run and I'm starting to get into lifting weights. I'm also a member of the former fatties club (lost about 80lbs years ago before I met hubby) so I've been very careful with diet and exercise so I never get there again. I'm about 5'2 or 5'3 and I've been between 120-130lbs the entire time we've been together. Recently, he's been super stressed at work and has started putting on weight. He's gained about 30lbs. He's still gorgeous and I love him no matter what but the sex is definitely not the same, he's tired all the time, and I'm scared of he keeps this up I'll be burying him at a young age. It's not so much the weight itself that's bothering me. He refuses to got to the gym with me (he hates cardio but once a week, he used to go on runs with me) and he eats McDonald's all the time now (probably once or twice a week) when all of our food was cooked at home in the past. I'm convinced that the fast food is loving up his insides but he hasn't gone to the Dr so idk. Am I being dramatic? Do you think it's just stress and he'll go back to normal when things calm down at work? Is he on a slippery slope to obesity? TL;DR Husband gained weight, he's tired all the time. I'm worried about his health. How to tell him he's fat and needs to get healthier?

Ride The Gravitron posted:How do I (29F) tell my husband (27M) he's getting fat Skinny women who love big ol' fat dudes always makes me laugh, I wonder if there's any weird feeder ladies out there who've gotta make their men fatter, like there is with dudes?  I think she's right to be concerned, he is on a slippery slope right now to getting fatter, but he was already quite fat when they got together. Healthy weight for a dude of that height is around 180lbs, and that's assuming a big frame. If he was 300lbs before, the dude had a legitimate problem with food - addiction level problem - and if he's eating fast food all the time and has gained 30lbs in a "recent" timeframe I think it's fair to say he's relapsing and something needs to be done before he eats himself into an early grave. I feel bad for him because I have struggled with my weight, I was 300lbs once, I'm still not a healthy weight now, but I know that the only time I've seen a serious spike back towards my old weight was when I was stress eating candy by the fistfull. I eventually got my poo poo together and lost the weight again but my wife had to be on me kind of relentlessly about not buying junk when we were out of the house. Losing weight is hard, esp. if you're depressed and dealing with a lot of stress. I hope she can get through to him and help him lose the weight.

remigious posted:I'm a few pages late but I like Mirthless's hair! I think it's thick enough that he pulls it off. It at least looks healthy, and if he likes it who really cares. Though the goatee is just bad. The problem with long hair on guys is that a vast majority of guys that have hair that long either don't take care of it or don't have the hair for it. Long hair on guys is basically the non-haircut (in that it's not really cut to a style, it's just long all over), and unless you've got a nice full head of thick hair (and are willing to take care of it), it's going to look like a thin, shapeless oil soaked mess going down your back. I dont have the hair for long hair (widows peak and thin in the back) so I will never try it. I'm sadly probably about 3-4 years from having to do just a short buzz all around.

Ouhei posted:It at least looks healthy, and if he likes it who really cares. Though the goatee is just bad. Having long hair as a guy is the only way to have hair that actually looks like something, even if that something is usually "bad". And I am also in the camp of waiting for the beard trend to die, because my facial hair growth is probably outdone by fourteen year olds. At least I don't have to shave often, though.

membranoid posted:Anyone else think the heartless girl in the dad suicide story, is likely turning into a drug addict? I doubt it. She's cheated on him before (for sure), and is probably cheating on him again, and that's why she's acting weird. She put the blame for his dad's suicide attempt on him so he wouldn't ask uncomfortable questions about what she was doing partying with a couple of guys that aren't him. Redirection is a classic cheater tactic. You know what I find weird: Who the gently caress is together this long and still living in separate apartments/houses? it's one thing to not get married but if you can't even cohabitate after eight years somebody is way way way too attached to their independence.
