Physical attraction is an important part of many relationships, so yes, I would say it is a fair reason for a divorce.

Shame most women don't understand that.

Just communicate and commit to what the two of you want physically in the beginning and future.

I am generally fit, and I am generally attracted to fit women. As part of our relationship (and later marriage), we must agree to *believe* that being fit is a good thing to be. We must agree to pursue being fit for life as best we can, but we admit that we may naturally get fat due to ageing, childbirth, illness, disability, utter busyness, etc. The latter reasons are not grounds for divorce, but are instead grounds for love and support.

P5 is an enabler.

 While I wouldn't forsake someone for getting fat, I would have far greater qualms with them buying into fat acceptance activism on the internet.

That stuff's off the deep end of tumblr identity nonsense.

No but if it bothers someone so much that he considers divorce then he got married too early.

You mean they should have waited for her to get old and fat before marrying her? :unsure: :P

Yes.

That seems stupid but people, especially Americans, get married too quickly.

What's your gauge of that?

I think GF is only in favor of posthumous marriage.  Maybe on your deathbed if you are in a hurry.

As an aside, my maternal great-grandmother's first marriage was to a man already dead - wedding took place at the graveside.

She was married a total of five times ... I guess that first one was a sign.  :lol:
