A husband has written to Dear Abby about the issues that have arisen in his marriage after his wife’s significant weight loss. He claims that she has developed a wandering eye and that it is causing problems in their relationship.
The Husband’s Concerns
The husband states that he is not insecure, but he feels disrespected by his wife’s behavior. He has brought up the issue with her, but she claims that it is his insecurities that are the problem. The husband has suggested that his wife see a therapist, but this has only made things worse.
The therapist has reportedly told the husband that he has narcissistic traits, which has created a bigger wedge between the couple. The husband is now considering divorce and is seeking advice on how to move forward.
Dear Abby’s Response
Dear Abby suggests that the husband may be overreacting and that his wife’s behavior may be a result of her newfound confidence after losing weight. She advises the husband to consider counseling for himself to work through his own issues.
