She basically put on full court press to lose weight and seduce me, and they got pretty heavy after the relationship was secure.

She was pretty thin when we divorced, because she was banging her new guy while we separated and worked her butt off to get with him. Now, she's REALLY FAT.

A couple of things

1. She's probably depressed again, her knight in shining armor is probably not as great as she thought. She was getting down about everything and started binge eating, so instead of losing her, he throws a ring at her to keep her.

2. She saw how hot my new girl was it bummed her out - KARMA.

It's just a pattern with her = love bomb, get happy, get normal, get sad, eat, fail another relationship.

Looks like I won this one. I should be shaking that guys hand!

With a straight face I would walk up to him and say congratulations, you're a "lucky" guy.

This part confuses me. He rewards her for getting fat?

My guess is that she is unhappy, because she is eating her problems away. When she is unhappy, she takes things out others (like she did to me all the time). To make her happy, he proposes marriage, which is a temporary solution to what is really a lifelong problem.

A common thread in our relationship was that she was never happy. I did everything and more, but nothing ever seemed to be good enough. I was a fool into thinking I could fix her. The truth is that she is inherently miserable. I really feel for this guy because he's likely going to be taking same approach I took with very minimal success. Our paths are similar.

When I began dating again, I really got into asking the girl what they did on their own to find happiness. I specifically told my current girlfriend that I'm a GOOD addition to her GREAT life.

You really shouldn't be spending so much time trying to figure out your ex-wife's life.

You need to step back and away, or let your GF go.

All your doing is talking trash about why you are a better person than she is and speculating about the inner workings of her situation. For all you really know maybe she is on medication and that is what is making her fat. Next maybe the new dude likes that fat. How do you know what's really going on?

You're wasting precious time and not giving your full attention to the good woman you have now. Conquer your ego so that you can be happy. People have bad relationships...it can happen to anyone.
