How much more subtle signs can I give my wife?

If this isn't a troll.....

You're making her so depressed!!!! Those dont' come off as subtle hints, those come off as "hey, i don't see the attractive lady i wanted to marry, i see a beer holder, a fatty, and someone who can't fit into lingerie".... What you're using is negative enforcement, almost always less effective, especially when it comes to women and weight!

You should've just had a heart-to-heart with her. And do it right away!

Points to highlight:

-I still love you, but I'm concerned about you.

-I have lost some sex appeal to you, but I'm more concerned about you staying in shape and always being the awesome you I know you to be

-Why don't we get a workout routine together? Why don't we go on walks together? etc.

Be supportive, and undergo any health changes with her; it'll make her feel like less of a horrible idiot, and more motivated to keep doing it!

I wouldn't count those as "subtle" signs, but agree that something needs to be done because it is not only not sexy for her to be obese, but it's not healthy. I watched the movie/ documentary calle "Fat, sick and Nearly Dead, and it is just what you and her need to watch. Watch it together, and let her see it as something she herself wants to do (get healthy), so that it's her idea which you can then help her with, and not that it's your idea you're pushing on her. You have to tell someone if they're putting on weight, and then help them accomplish whatever plan they come up with by themselves. It's a delicate issue for some too. Anyway, really do check out this movie (or something similar): http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/ and

Hope this helped

why don't you do nice things like go to the gym with her.

I can't believe she married you!

"Move shamu" you think that's a subtle sign

You're ridiculous - you're probably not even married and just like to pose obnoxious questions because you get a kick out of people saying what terrible **** you are. whatever, next question....

Is it the way you are not being mean??????? Are you serious???? Actually the nice kind way to tell her is that you worry about her health and that she should go to the gym and you can join her!!!!! Your so called hints are stupid and offensive, sorry! Be nice to her! Don't humiliate. I wonder if you'd be pleased with the hint if she would started bringing huge long cucumbers to home and placing them in your pant's pockets! 'just a little hint my sweet hubby'.

well i don;t think that putting a beer can on your wifes belly is the answer or your other tactics. are they working? has she began to lose weight? so try asking yourself how would you like to be treated if the shoe were on the other foot? when you were married what were your vows? didn'nt you promise to love honor and cherish her all the days you were alive? are you honoring her? are you respecting her dignity? you seem like an intelligent person so why not discuss the obvious? ask her whats on her mind and maybe you'll find the underlying reason, but by all means treat her as you would want to be treated yourself and remember she's still the same women you said those vows to. and support her in the goal of losing weight as a couple.

Well, darling, I know that among the more subtle methods a particular (shall we say) gentleman of my acquaintance used in similar circumstances was to ask when the lady was due, or, when he wanted to hint after she had actually had a baby, whether she was sure the doctors didn't leave another one in there.

You might try one of those. I can vouch for their effectiveness!

(((House)))

Poke her like the Pillsbury Dough Guy and make little squeals....in the grocery store.

Get her a Michiline Tire Guy shirt.

Remind her it's all okay because no matter how much tummy she puts on, your dyck will remain the Little Soldier it is.

Start doing none of the above and learn to communicate the concerns in your marriage. Be a part of the solution not the problem.

Let me correct you, your actions were immature and mean although not direct which would have been better nor supportive which would have been best.

I am assuming that youre joking and didn't do the things you mentioned, cause if you were mean enough to do them, then, just saying "baby need to lose weight". But if you are being honest how about you ask her how you could help. Maybe you both start taking long walks together. It would help her in getting excerise and the time spent together could help her think you still love her. Win Win.

Hmm. Puzzling. I recommend taking her out to a nice restaurant and ordering a salad and some clear soup for her. If she tries to order more, sneak out the window and stick her with the check. That should make a point.
