My wife was a plump homemaker, a wonderful lover, a loving mother, and good to everyone. Did her weight gain bother me? ...We would watch Hulk Hogan on wrestling along with all the other muscle guys and she would go "uuuuuuhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm"........when they came out. She liked to look! And I would make my own comments when the gorgeous women came out. She would say to me......"Honey, you have everything those guys have, it's just distributed differently on you." We would both laugh at this! We were very faithful to each other with our less than perfect body's. We still had fun behind closed doors.
My bottom line for this post is............I had to watch that once plump body waste away to nothing because of cancer and then see her take her final breath.
HappyDad, thank you for adding such a loving and respectful tribute to your beloved, late wife. I hope that none of the men who responded harshly to this thread, will have to lose their wives to cancer to find that: "you don't know what you have until it's gone."
Being fat does not equal ugly. Dangel's wife has more than inner beauty. Even if she never loses the weight, she sounds like a happy, fun and very loving lady. I bet she dresses up very nicely.
We've all been trained to think thin is the only type of beauty. It's a learned concept. It's similar to being raised seeing only hetero sexual couples, parents and romances portrayed in the media. So then gay couples, parents and romance seem foreign and odd, maybe even repulsive to us. But when we realize we've been negatively influenced, we can undo that brainwashing, then gayness doesn't seem so odd or weird afterall.
I used to see only slim people as being attractive. As I matured and my peers and I all developed into mature looking adults, I began to see that beauty was boundless and abundant all around me.I feel very fortunate to have made this discovery. Enjoy life and its plentitude.
