Losing weight and losing faith

Ask yourself again, “do you really want your husband or boyfriend to lose weight”? And, furthermore, if you are losing weight do you really know why you are losing weight?

I only ask these questions because a new piece of research has revealed that, just as surely as women get cheaper car insurance than men, a partner dieting or losing weight may well be a partner who is thinking about leaving a relationship or at the very least straying.

Sociologists in Heidelberg looked into all the factors surrounding weight loss, relationships and singledom and found, perhaps unsurprisingly, that couples don’t worry about piling on the pounds because, simply, they feel less pressure to look attractive.

A researcher commented, “Once the ink on the marriage contract dries up, they relax the control they had on their weight and appearance.

And it was no small study either – some 2,000 people between the ages of 16 and 55 took part.

Only a couple of months ago another study revealed that men who buy flash and fast cars are more likely to stray – so, if your partner’s just been investigating car insurance quotes for convertibles so that he expose his svelte new figure to the elements, you could be forgiven for wondering just what he’s planning. Then again, maybe he just wants to impress you, stranger things have happened.
