My Fat Spouse
I have no idea how long My Fat Spouse has been around, why I haven't heard about it, or really what to make of it. Thank you Anonymous for your comment alerting me to this... phenomenon. The site seems to be a place where you can go to complain that your partner is too fat. There is also a picture gallery where people post pictures of their fat spouses, and other people rate them. (Grounds for divorce, right there.)
In the FAQ, they respond to the idea that the site is about making fun of only fat women by saying.... that women who object to being objectified are ugly, angry, and fat. Well obviously that's not sexist at all! My mistake!
"The simple fact is that those who are trying to portray this site as 'sexist' have an agenda. Basically that agenda is that any mention of an overweight female constitutes sexism. You will typically find that these people also take issue with a woman being evaluated by physical attractiveness no matter what the criteria. I imagine this stems from some kind of personal hostility toward female attractiveness. Translated: ugly, angry, fat, women who are hostile to men and pretty women in general steming from years of jealousy."
I kind of think that if I read further I will probably want to kick someone in the balls. Perhaps the site founders, who are skinny and married to "definitely not fat" women, thank god. This is the kind of horrifying site that will end up making its founders rich and famous, isn't it?

Q: Are the authors of myfatspouse.com fat?
A: No we are not
Q: Are the authors of myfatspouse.com idiots?
A: Yes we are
Actually? Depending on the state (NY/CA/NJ, not catatonic) in which a photo is posted, whether or not the posting occurs with the consent of the spouse, and the extent to which vitriolic words accompany the posting, there may well be a basis for divorce on the combined (or alternative) grounds of breach of right of privacy and cruel & inhumane treatment/incompatibility.
If someone I was married to had the nerve to post MY picture on a site like that, I know I'd try the theory.
Seriously. WTF.
Richard, I was responding to that particular portion of their site that I quoted. You will notice there is no equivalent quote talking about how ugly, fat, and jealous men are.
First of all, while it is an "equal opportunity offender" site, RICHARD, there are no male-bashing quotes to equal the completely mysoginistic undertones of the statement that blames the hostility on women hating pretty woman. COME ON. Do you really think that women are that petty and pathetic that we have enough ENERGY to even give a shit about other women? I don't. Sure, I notice, but mostly I admire beautiful women, not hate them (unless they are bitches, but that has little to do with their looks).
And I'd also like to point out that I looked at some of the female pictures on this site, and many of them AREN"T EVEN FAT! What kind of message does that send? "Well, she's not morbidly obese, but she could stand to get 'starved down' a little bit."
Just fucking garbage. If you have so much loathing for your spouses body, then just leave. Becuase that is YOUR problem, not his/hers.
Arrrgh. I am a masochist, so I was reading some of the comments from the peanut gallery about the fat spouses. The men are so much meaner than the women.
Not only that but did you see the part where they justify the whole, "We have every right to be upset if our spouses get fat because if we stay fit they need to be fit to stay attractive for us." Reminded me of that whole melee several months ago from that Hot Mom blogger about how it's unfair to your mate to let yourself go.
Thank you, Mopie, for again reminding me why I love being deliciously single. While I do not object to being called "fat," since the only people who call me that are fat where it really counts - in the cerebral cortex - I do resent these men who feel they have the right to slander their spouses in front of the entire online world. Their marital problems go far, far deeper than their spouse eating too many ringdings. To the spouses, male OR female: you deserve better! We teach others how to treat us. It's kind of like crack... once the withdrawal of being abused is over, you kind of start to like not getting your ass kicked every day...
Did you notice that most of the women shots were of women in lingerie or something similar? If I was confident enough to wear a teddy for you, and let you take a picture, you better run if I ever found it on something like this!
And guys wonder why we don't always feel comfortable wearing those things around them. I think that this would be an excellent case of justifiable homicide.
But ladies....it's so EASY to lash back if you're offended!

Women have it all over men when it comes to being 'mean'
Well, fat women ARE jealous and the fact of the matter is most fat women are not only ugly on the outside, they are ugly on the inside, too. If this is not true, then ugly and fat women just do ugly things. They love to lie and twist words and make it seem as if others are against them. William Penn says it best: "The jealous (and fat) are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves." If they really want to make a change, they would stop acting like a victim and take their lives in their own hands. Instead, they would rather sit around and get fatter and uglier. Pathetic? Yes, but everyone needs to stop feeding into their pitty party. Why are people so sensitive to fat people but people say whatever they want to someone who's got it together? Fat people like all that "extra them" just because they want to send a message to the world that they don't care about their health, appearance or mental wellbeing. So if they don't care, you shouldn't care either. Let them eat their way into their own large ditch. FAT PEOPLE SUCK!
As America has become disgustingly obese, the remainder of us, who take care of ourselves have become completey worn out by the litany of excuses from the fat apologists.
The obese should not be immune to criticism. Masking your poor life decisions as discrimination issue isn't working.
Being obese does not give you special rights! It should not entitle you to a disablity check, electric cart, or a handicap parking spot. The world is judging us by your gluttony!
Other nationalities now sterotype americans as disgusting fat gluttons. I'm sorry fat has never been attractive. Trotting out a few pudgy paintings from the rennansciance doesn't make the arguement any better.
Fat people are ruining america, giving us a poor international images, and worst of all they refuse to allow any criticism of their chosen lifestyle.
I hope a few thousand fatspouse sites (like) sites pop up. Fatty coddling has not helped us, maybe some embarressment will!
well here is just more proof of what fat spouse is saying, escuses, escuses. it is funny how women will do anything (including starving themselves) to get a man to marry them and then instatnly stop caring and start gainging. just like drug addicts you try to drag others down by making them feel guilty for being too skinny. it is just jealousy, you have no self control or self respect. it is a medical fact that being overweight is the worst health risk there is ( even worse than smoking) and on the idea of your spouse doesn't love you if he complains that you are fat, what about you not loving him? you take your man for granted and then wonder why he leaves you fo a skinny woman (one that curiously looks the way you use to!)and of course women Never complain about their husbandd online or anywhere (yeah right) trying to start websites about his baldness? there is NOTHING that can be done to prevent that ( i know i have spent thousands trying) you cannot copmare that to being fat, your wight is completely under your control (or lack thereof as women have no self control) so in short instead of just sitting around eating and bitching do us all a favor and put the burger/fries/ice cream down and go for a walk!!!
one final thought, it is not your spouses problem that you are fat IT IS EVERYONES!!!! your health deteriorates so badly, endless doctors vistis for "bad backs/knees/joints/asthma/diabetes/etc. we all pay the price , literally" they should put a huge tax on obese people. also, why is it socially acceptable to make fun of smokers but not fat people? same thing. i am a smoker and im not blaming anyone else, it is my fault, and fat people need to take responsibility maybe smokers should run around making fun of nonsmokers? maybe we should make everyone else feel bad for not smoking! sound ridiculous? of course it does
I have lived in the US and overseas and I cant believe hot fat this country is compared to other nations. First of all, people just dont all of a sudden weigh 500 pounds due to "metabolism" problems. The only way you can get that big is to stuff your face with PROCESSED junk food and OVERSIZED portions which are glorified and offered in every restaurant and advertisement in this country, and then spend your free time laying around and doing nothing active. Combine that with our government allowing individuals to be lazy and subsidize them for sitting on their ass all day and presto! you are now FAT. Every human on earth has personal issues (depression, job/marriage problems, addictions, etc etc ) but not everyone decides to use food as their means for coping. I am not saying thin people dont screw up because they do - all I'm saying is that NOBODY becomes obese because their husband left them or because they got fired - they got obese by STUFFFING THEIR FACE with too much food! Then these people have the nerve to blame society or their boss/husband/wife/kids/whatever for the fact that they are fat AND think they should get special rights and large seats in airplanes and buses - sorry you need to to take RESPONSIBILITY for your actions and get off your ass and MOVE and EAT within reason. Fast food and processed junk food is a great babysitter, especially if you dont know how to cook (which is beyond me, all women should cook for their children, but then again people who are teenage parents, generally stupid or have sex without protection are not smart enough to do even THOSE things much less cook a decent meal for their kids). I just HATE it when people who do stupid things and screw up part of their lives expect the rest of us to bail them out, give them special treatment and think they are good citizens when they have proven to be weak and pathetic. And dont give me that crap that healthy food is "too expensive"....you can buy vegetables, fruit, whole wheat bread and lean meat for cheap, your excuse is that if you dont buy hamburger helper, frozen pizza or macaroni and cheese you would actually have to COOK and think of something to make, which would cut into your couch-potato time in front of the TV, or bitching about how "discriminated" you are for being a fat pig. Nobody is shoving those Krispy Kreme's down your throat....take responsibility for your sick lifestyle and own up to it - I aint paying for your medical care.
Since you are a self admitted smoker why don’t you do yourself and everyone else a favor and go smoke another pack of fags and take another hour or so off of your miserable life. You have got to be the most sour-assed self-centered, hateful, individual I’ve ever had the displeasure to come across. You want to tax fat people on the basis of their possible future health problems and possible monetary costs passed on to you, while you yourself are causing god knows how much harm to yourself and all those around you every time you light up. Jesus H. Christ can you get any dumber? In the end exactly who do you think will be paying for your pathetic filthy habit? Although I know you claim to make no excuses for it, it still doesn’t give you the right to subject others physically and monetarily to you cancerous affliction. Nor does it give you the right to complain about fat people that are in essence, possibly doing the same thing. And don’t give us this shit about fat being worse than smoking because it simply is not true. You know it and so do the rest of the sentient beings on this planet. In fact your hypocrisy on this issue is as obvious as the cancerous cells forming at the back of your throat.
So yellow fingers, tell me why should I have to pay for YOU and all the dumb assed smokers that eventually get cancer and other forms of lung disease simply because they have no self control? Why should I and every other non-smoker including fat non-smokers have to pay for your useless pathetic diseased ass? Maybe we as a society should just cut you and your ilk loose and let you flounder in your eventual and painful, asphyxiation.
So why don’t you take your self important ranting and your nicotine addicted existence elsewhere, stop all your bullshit, chill out, kick back, and crack open a big can of shut the fuck up.
Fuck you all! I'm proud to be a fat ass! I'm 19 years old, only 5 ft 2 in tall and I weigh 1,380 pounds and I'm proud of my size. I measure 42 inches around my upper arms, 128 inches around my chest, 174 inches around my belly, 208 inches around my lower abdomen, hips, and butt, and I have 92 inch thighs. My lower abdomen hangs down over my thighs about half way to my knees. Because it hangs down over my shrunken tiny little 2 inch penis, it's is physically impossible for me to have sex, but I really don't give a fuck, because I can't give a fuck. I'm just a happy glutton who prefers to eat and sleep instead. I love to eat, and I will eat as much as I please, and if you don't like it, then you can just go fuck yourself! Also, my butt is so big I can't wipe my ass anymore, so you fuck wits can just lick my fat ass for me!
That's a rather detailed set of measurements, anonymous, sweetheart. You haven't been secretly reading teh fat pron, have you, hon??
Lmao. My Fat Spouse is nothing like what you guys are saying. There isn't a gallery where they post pictures of their spouses and rate them, though that's hilarious that you didn't even look at the gallery and just decided that! xD
They post pictures of nutty overweight people going through drivethrus on their motorized scooters. And other silly things that you would probably find funny too in another context. Anyway, they're just a bunch of men AND women- in fact I think right now there are more women complaining about their chubby hubbies than anything- who are concerned with their partners lack of concern for their health and it's impact on everything.
What I'm trying to say is, fat people are people too, yeah. I get that. But that doesn't excuse the fact that you're eating yourselves to death. Not everyone is hating you for your vices. We all have them. But we all have to overcome them as people, whatever they may be. Your husband or wife probably sees your letting yourself go as a sign that you don't care what they think of you anymore. You've thrown in the towel. You don't need to try any more for them. That's pretty rude if you ask me. What if your partner began neglecting their hygiene? That's no different than neglecting your diet. Both make you unattractive to your significant other. Accept that! This goes both ways! You can starve and overexercise until you look ugly too. Anorexic models and body builders who look like they've been sprayed with varnish and are ready to explode. Not hot. Neither is Rosanne Barr.
