Being married as well, I have had to cope with my wife putting on weight after the baby. Physically she has changed and I suppose after being together for 5+ years a comfort level sets in with married folks who see beyond the surface of their mates.

I resolved from the start to set my vision on my wifes character.
Attractive as she was from the start I knew it wouldn't last.

I also make a point to see the positive instead of making an issue of negative things that dont really affect the real stuff of my relationship.
I'm big on being positive and supportive especially now that shes plagued with a series of illnesses that have sapped even more of her beauty.

.....in sickness & in health right?

The point of my relationship is to pursue the goal of love in any form that it takes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ignoring people can be a solution but how we get over the looks and comments is done by directly confronting those who have something to say.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
