"Wacky OH Women - Or Is It Just Me?"
There are some very lovely women on the forums, but the only thing that bothers me is the ones who waited til AFTER they lost weight, to suddenly 'realise' their husbands were abusive. To me, a man either is, or is not. You don't have to lose weight to know it, and you don't have to stay with him just because you're fat. If you didn't have the self esteem to leave him when you were fat, why does being skinny suddenly give it to you. My personal beleif is that some of these women turn into a different woman when they lose weight. I know of several specific examples, even in my own small circle. One woman, as a big woman, was as sweet a woman as you'd ever meet. Good relationship, happy family, etc. When she lost her weight, she turned into this angry, mean, diva.. who's view became "It's all about me!" The heck with everyone who was there all along, suddenly the world changes, and everyone else is not good enough. That's the kind of thing that makes me wonder... was the man mean? or suddenly the woman just didn't like him anymore... As for me.. I love marriage... as they say, "it's wonderful finding that one special person you want to drive crazy for the rest of your life!" Dale
