Sometimes we have to see ourselves in pictures to see what we really look like.
Without being obvious... what about taking some pics of him and let him see it himself?

Pictures ... Pretty good idea. Find one from a few years back when the chin was absent, and put it on the fridge next to a recent one (it's best if they're the same angle and size, mostly). And if you do the shopping, stop buying junk food. Of course, you're going to have to talk to him once he sees the photos up!

Or if all else fails, have him grow a beard? Maybe that would disguise some of it

he isn't very fat. It is mostly the chin.

Other than that, he is maybe 30 lbs overweight.

He doesn't like himself, calls himself ugly but doesn't have the discipline to change his habits.

He doesn't like sports, he doesn't like eating healthy, doesn't like fruits or veggies. I tried everything. He acts like he is on a diet (for me) and when I don't look, he runs to McDonalds. I have given up and now I am just frustrated and slightly grossed out when he eats all this crap.

He will never change. His whole family is like that and all have nasty looking chins. Surprisingly, none of them have health issues.

So since I have tried everything, the only solution would be to have the chin removed somehow through some procedure.

He had a beard to cover it up but to me it looks even worse because it is pointing towards the non existing chin line.

The finest thing which happens to the crocodile is when women scan him head to feet, when their fat slob husbands/manfriends sit next to them totally emasculated in the process.... and right then I look in the man's eye and I can sense a sense of loss of self-worth from his eyes.

To be honest, if I were him, I'd jump off a cliff. But for some men, being in shape and wearing the finest vestments is not a priority, for whatever reason, depression or poverty or loss of a sense of importance in society. It takes a different beast of a man to understand that he needs these things in life so that the wife/woman can be proud of him. But the women stick to them coz they possibly bring in a paycheque 10 to 1.

You know, there is people that still have an attractive face when they are big. And then there is people whose face disappears and it is just all chin. That's my hubby.
He isn't even that heavy. He is not obese. He is just lazy and has bad eating habits since child hood.

I took pics of him from the side where you can see that the chin is leaning on his chest when he sits on the couch. He just throws them away.

Crocodile - I earn the same amount of money as my husband. That is not the issue.

30 pounds overweight does not get into the chin. Face is like the final frontier. For it to get bloated, we are talking north of 50 pounds overweightedness.

If he is only 30 pounds overweight, you're just hallucinated with some chin genie.

If he is not obese yet, he will be.

You are making excuses for him. He knows he does not NEED to do anything. This does not sound like a real deal breaker. Or it would be breaking your deal.

After you've been married for a while, you fall out of "love" and you see the person more and more as they really are.

I get the feeling it's not so much his mama june chins but his attitude that is the problem here.

You feel great but you're like a reformed smoker to him, probably a ginormous pain in the arse to listen to and watch being "healthy" as if it's a new religion, when all he wants to do is watch tv.

You are incompatible. It's as simple as that. You want him trim and taut and healthy, he frankly doesn't give a chit.

You can't change people. You can only accept them and love them for who they are. If he wishes to quit McD's and go to gym, he will. If he doesn't wish to, he won't.

If you can't accept this in your husband, it's time to move on. You will start to make each other very unhappy indeed.
