Ah. So you consider that you'd be doing her a service by letting her know you're not indifferent to it. I'm sure she's not indifferent to it; most women enjoy being able to fit into flattering clothing, and enjoy looking good. Losing weight can be easier said than done, unless you have a really good doctor who turns you on to the right diet.

I think it's the fact that you want to make weight loss a pre-nuptial requirement that's grating on people.

So? If you believe this why would you say anything if it's going to go in one ear and out the other?

i dont want to do that but is asking a partner to loose weight so awful ?

this issue with my girlfriend stems from her making a big issue out of my decision to make a business investment without telling her first , i have detailed all this in my early posts on this thread

most seemed to think she was unreasonable in her reaction , she appologised to me this evening again for that but i still feel i need some time to think


many couples take some time apart to think about their relationship , i dont see this relationship as over , i just need time to think

is that so bad ?

Wrong. I think making it a condition of the relationship is disrespectful and, frankly, idiotic.

Admit it, you never loved her and told her you did. You led her to believe you accepted her as she was, and you lied.

People who behave as you do are toxic to others. And I am not just talking about your recent behaviour. No one has forgotten how you blindsided and assaulted that old man in the alley of the bar because you thought he was teasing you.

prior to the opening of this thread five days ago , i had not posted in this forum for many many months

that you so clearly remember me and a thread i started ( about an unrelated bar incident ) fifteen months ago shows you have a pretty bizzare ability to memorise the actions of complete ( internet forum ) strangers , all for the purpose of engaging in amateuer psychoanalysis

i often enjoy your post zentropa but you really strike me as a pretty out there individual , such is the way you deliver judgements on others with such absolute certitude

your utterings are borderline troll like

LOL, bob you may find it hard to believe but that story was pretty unforgettable to everyone who followed it.

Yes, I have the conviction of my informed opinions and my considerable experience on this planet. I have confidence in how I see and interpret human behaviour, backed up by outcomes I have predicted (like this one).

But it's fine if you ignore me. I am not alone in my observations, as you well know. Maybe someone else can hold a mirror to you and you will actually look.

Hey, she's our encyclopedia that we turn to, to connect the dots between different bounce-back troll alter-egos. It's quite a talent, and a useful one. The forum could hardly function without her. Right now, you're encountering her famous "cutting through the crap" function. I'm standing back, to avoid collateral damage. She can be brutal.

But in a good way.
