Significant Other Gains A Large Amount Of Fat

[Dan R]

This has not happened to me, as I have no significant other, but it is a question my co-workers and I discussed this afternoon.

Assume you have a significant other that you have been dating for a long period of time, or you have in the recent past married. This person is the absolute love of your life, you love everything about him or her, and you find the person to be extremely attractive physically. Both of you are currently in much better shape than the average person.

Two years pass from the point in the previous paragraph, you have either extended your long-term relationship by two years, or your marriage by two years. In these two years your significant other has put on fifty pounds of fat. She or he has stopped working out, and consumes a large amount of unhealthy food. Your significant other is not a woman who has had any children, or had any other medical event occur, that you know of, that has added to his or her weight increase. To the best of your knowledge the person has gained fat because of newfound laziness, and knowledge that he or she no longer needs to keep in quite as good shape because he or she is in a meaningful relationship. You have kept yourself in about the same shape as the two years ago time period, so you are still looking great, congratulations.

What would you do in this situation?

What would you do in this situation if you were no longer happy with your significant others appearance, and after questioning his or her appearance, he or she made it clear that he or she will make no effort to lose their excess fifty pounds?
