Times We Want Our Partners To Sympathize With Us – Not Save Us

When you’ve gained a little weight

I cannot stress this enough to anybody: unless somebody asks you to give them tips on how to lose weight, do not give those tips. Never, ever give unsolicited feedback on somebody’s body. Ten times out of ten, it won’t go how you’d hoped. This lesson is especially important for men, who may hear their partners complain that they’ve put on a little weight. Maybe you’re trying to get into your skinny jeans and yell, “Damn, I can’t close these!” This is no time for your partner to say, “Well, have you been keeping up with your spin classes?” Or “You’ve been hitting the ice cream hard.” You know why the weight gain happened. You understand the basics of exercise and calories and so on. You were not asking him to be your nutritionist.
