How do i tell my husband he's gotten a bit too "fluffy" and needs to lose weight without sounding like a total cow? I've already suggested he should work out at the gym "for his health" but he hasn't.

After washing a pair of his pants tell him you're sorry but you think you may have shrunk them a bit. See if he gets the hint. :p

He's aware. He had to get bigger sized pants. He knows but doesn't do anything about it.

Leave some diet phamplets? Or try to say you want to spend time with each other.. In a gym... Or if you have kids try to have a family "work-out" day or do things like take walks in the morning. If you make the food in the house, try to make things healthier. avoid meat, and look for fat free foods. Or try a contest sorta thing. if he can avoid fatty foods give him like money or something that he rally wants.

When he was here full time he ate my low fat food because that's what i cook. He now works up north and lives on site for weeks or a couple months at a time. He obviously doesn't make good food choices while he's there. When he came home last week for 6 days he was visibly fluffier. So i can't do the gym thing with him or make his food. I work out every day and even when he's here he doesn't do it with me. It's like he's happy being fluffy.

"Holy cow you're getting fat" might work. Men tend to like that direct thing. Except that he may think it's ok to be direct and then may say something like, "Good grief you've got more grey hair/your {} look smaller/closer to your navel than when I saw you last..." Which, you know...may not go over well with you.

Keep being friendly towards her, say nothing bad about anyone. In time you will probably be buds again just like you were. All relationships go through natural cycles of closeness and distance.

My best friend has been with me since fifth grade (19 years) and we can go a month without talking due to our busy lives and when we hang out just the two of us it's like we didn't miss a beat. Friendship like love must be unconditional. If she is busy don't make it more than that it will only ruin the time you do have together if you harbor resentment about the time you didn't have. Oh and what pinkster said too.

Thank you soo much! That helped me ALOT.... I also forgot to mention I have two vest friends and it was always the three of us. Because I got so mad for her not emailing I let out ALL my feelings about this to my other best friend. THen she goes and talk to (the friend who never emails) and exaggerates my whole point and then we gOt into this fight. I apologized and then sh forgave me but she Hangs out more with my mortal enemy. Now my two best Friends hate each other because of me, and my othe best friends wants to yell at her for hurting me (another long story ) but I don't want her to anymore. I emailed her explaining how I felt about this because she is like an AMAZING FRIEND AND I LOVE HER TO DEATH, but i feel like u should take care of this myself. --I just got an email from her and she understands!! :D now I just hope the situation woth the best friend who never emails goes well.

08-17-12, 07:43 PM
I usually choose the passive aggressive method to deal with a mortal enemy...pretend they don't exist. Don't talk to or about them. Avoid being near them and if you are forced to be near them do not make any eye contact and pretend they are invisible. Above all act as you would if that person weren't there. I make it like a challenge or game in my head, it distracts me from angry feelings and it drives the crazy woman even crazier than she is to start with. This method works for me but not everyone can pull it off so I advise discretion.

I don't do that. I act extra nice. My ex husband's new wife hated my guts for the sole reason i was married to her man before. I always waved hello at kid drop offs, got her a Christmas card, made polite small talk at events etc. She never waved back, wouldn't even say hello back etc. Who looked like a cow? Her. Hmmm, they're separated now.

It is frustrating you click on a area to expand that takes 2 days while you wait you gather up enough money to expand again but you have to wait until the expansion is done before you ask people for maps now that takes 3more days because your only allowed 20 a day. So every 5 days if you get 20 maps a day before you can expand again even though you have enough money in 2 days
