Today, even after loving him unconditionally, my originally 340 pound morbidly obese husband, who within the past two years lost almost 200 pounds, left me because now, he "can do so much better". FML

Wait so he only weighs 140 pounds now? God he must have a lot of extra skin hanging off him that no one would want him.

Skin only has so much give. With that amount of weight, he had to have gotten skin removed or it would be so heavy, it would physically hurt him.

Look at it this way; you've lost 340lbs of a worthless husband, but you've gained the entire world in his place.

And I'm sure you could work it so you get the house, kids, car, and child support! He may think he can do better, but try to make him go broke getting there.

I am so sorry you had to experience that, being betrayed by the ones you love is so painful. I wish you all the best in getting back on your feet and finding a man worth your love and devotion. You should feel proud of yourself, you sound like a very genuine and caring person, there are too few of you in the world.

You deserve it - but in this case that is a blessing because you deserve someone more worthy.

I feel bad for the OP, but this isn't uncommon. When someone makes a significant change in health and life style it isn't unusual for them to leave their partner.

Especially if their partner doesn't make the change with them. Not saying OP deserves it or wasn't supportive or anything

Exactly,as someone said above they knew of a situation where staying with the person would've gotten them back to their old habits. I had an old roommate who started becoming much more health conscious( cutting back on smoking/ drinking) and started jogging. He wanted the gf to join him, but she sat around watching tv and eating a lot of junk food. They ended bc he was making a change. It is possible the OP's husband wanted them to share the same lifestyle. I'm not saying the OP wasn't supportive or deserved it, but it does happen some for purely selfish reasons, but a fair amount of the time it isn't.

It's cool that you're trying to justify the husband by these stories. Except you forgot the part where the husband proved he was a douche with the "I can do so much better" quote. I'm also pretty sure married couples are also supposed to be able to survive something as petty as new lifestyle choices, so D- for trying.

losing half your body weight is a "petty" change to you, huh? she said that he said he "could do better". nowhere did OP say he said he could do better for a wife. maybe he meant do better for a lifestyle of better living ie more healthy or not slipping into old habits by a "supportive" (maybe enabling?) wife. maybe he is a douchenozzle. maybe he did it to save his health. not enough info to demonize either.
