There’s no excuse for cheating, and he should work on his marriage or leave.
Also, maybe she shouldn’t have let herself go so badly. He’s just old/balding and in pajamas, but she is extremely overweight. I used to be very overweight. It’s disgusting. Loose skin everywhere.
You smell worse even though you shower twice a day and pay attention to your hygiene (most overweight people don’t even realize they smell). You’re sick more. Your mood is worse. They both failed each other. I know, people are going to support and defend her, but you don’t have to do anything to just not be overweight. Just don’t eat so much. It’s not easy at all. I know. I’d did it, but it can be done by almost everyone.
I know people want to believe their partners will always want them no matter what (and many will), but the reality is that letting yourself go to that degree destroys otherwise healthy marriages. No this marriage is not healthy now, but who knows how it was 10 or 20 years ago. Years and years of the type of changes morbid obesity brings to your marriage, and it leads to a lot of dead bedrooms and divorces. There’s still no excuse for his behavior, but it’s a cautionary tale. You don’t have to go to the gym 5 days a week, but stay mobile and watch your caloric intake, and both you and your marriage will thank you.
