This is because they tell woman that one of the warning sign that the husband is cheating, is him losing weight. Right now she is running sceared. Finds ways to reassure her.

It sounds like she is a bit insecure - this is not only a new way of life for you, but for her as well. Maybe try giving her a little extra attention, tell her how beautiful she is, and how you love her and only her. Then maybe have a heart to heart talk and make it really clear to her that there is no-one else for you!

It is too bad your wife feels insecure...Mary is right. A "warning" sign is a major lifestyle change, which is what you are doing. There are so many reasons to lose weight. Health is a major one. Let her know appearance isn't the only reason you wanted the weight off. Given your job, I would think being healthier, feeling terrific and being in better shape would make things less stressful for you at work. Explain that to her, too. Does she have a weight problem? That could be the root cause of her attitude if she does.

My husband has become a tad bit jealous lately, which is extremely unusual for him! He hasn't started any arguments or anything...just more quite comments that I wouldn't even notice if I weren't really in tune with him. I have just tried to do exactly what teresemay suggested...just give him (even) more attention, and let him know in small ways that it's just my weight and health changing...not my love for him. He really is happy and amazed that I've come this far - we both are. But it's a difficult transition for both of us. Now that I think about it that's one good reason for the weight loss to have slowed a bit. Gives us more time to get used to it. Just be patient with her and things will likely smooth out.

i agree with the others. She needs to know that you love her, and only her. Show her in lots of different ways. She will get the picture and start to really like the new attention.

Default I know it's been 22 years, but . . .

You're going to have to get into the courtship mode all over again.
Perhaps it is the soap operas, combined with a sense of insecurity, and possibly a little jealousy (maybe she sees the weight loss as being easy for you - and she's seen so many people who have a hard time - and perhaps even herself).

Certainly, I can't get into her head and discover the root of her concerns, but this is a time to tread lightly, and get terribly affectionate (hopefully it won't make her even more suspicious).

Oh dear.............. heres a little different point of view????

I have read some of your posts and I'm not critizing you here, but you have done a fair bit of bragging about the women at work looking at you and not your friend etc, If you have been a little over zealous at home expressing the same information, no doubt you have got her thinking and god knows where thta can lead to with a guy or a girl!
So how about just keep trying to reassure her and tone down the" I've done so well, look so good" cause a little goes a long way with the ones you are with daily

LOL you trained her!!! All us wifes out here know the truth,

Cheers Kathy
