Woman horrified as partner refuses her sex because she’s gained four dress sizes

He said he would not have gone for her had she always been that big

If you ask someone to tell you the truth, sometimes you have to be prepared to hear something you don’t want to.

And one wife is licking her wounds after her long-term partner explained the real reason he is no longer interested in having sex with her.

The mum of two shared her distress on forum Mumsnet, explaining that she had been having some intimacy issues with her other half.

He seemingly lost interest some time ago and, despite her efforts to spark conversation about it, she’d not got an explanation.

So she decided to text him, demanding the truth. And the reply she got devastated her.

He wrote: “You want me to be honest? Fine then I will. As I don’t feel remotely attractive myself because of my weight it’s come to the point where at the moment I don’t find you sexually attractive because of the weight you have put on.

“I was first attracted to you because you were thin. If you were the size that you are now I wouldn’t have looked twice at you.

“Sorry but that’s how it is. I do love you but just not sexually attracted to you because of your weight.

“Call me shallow and evil or what you like but at least I’m being honest. Like I said, call me what you want but I’ve told you the truth which you wanted. I’m sorry.”

The woman admitted to the hive that she had gone from a Size 6/8 to a Size 14/16.

With the couple due to get married this year, and their relationship otherwise fine, she is unsure what to do.

One follower suggested she had three options for how to proceed, writing:

“1. Accept his answer and carry on regardless; 2. Accept his answer and lose weight if you want to try and appeal to him again.; 3. Don’t accept his answer and leave him.

“It’s not very nice but at least you’re working from a position of honesty.”

Someone else diplomatically advised: “You can approach this as a New Year New You for the pair of you and work at weight loss together.”

A third said: “It will be noticeable. I was the same size as you pre baby (6/8) and am now a 12 with a 5 month old. I can really see the difference in how I carry myself, my total lack of fitness, my confidence and the clothes that I wear.

“I don’t know about you, but for me it’s not as much the number on the scale or the clothes tag as the way I’ve changed myself to fit that bigger size in all those other ways.

“I know it’s not massive but it still makes me uncomfortable.

“You both seem unhappy with your weight gain so could you try to bond by making joint diet and lifestyle changes? Exercise together, take up a new hobby perhaps?”
