Author: No, really. We're trying to conceive, have an uphill battle to do so already and her health is a factor. But she's so very sensitive that she doesn't want to hear the truth.
The trick is that she's home alone all day, and we've moved to a new city where she doesn't really know where to go to get out and do things.
She thinks she eats relatively healthy, but she snacks all the time.
I exercise myself, but she never joins in and if I ask her she behaves as if I've asked her to levitate or cure cancer or something. I'm in decent shape and she knows it. I've approached it as wanting a workout partner but gotten nowhere so far.
The fertility problem is on her side. She had surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in the removal of a section of one of her fallopian tubes, (which are longer than usual), so now we're flying on 50% thrusters, so to speak, and because her periods are long and somewhat irregular it's difficult to time.

Is she on fertility drugs? Fertility drugs cause weight gain in a lot of women.
If she's just getting lazy, nicely ask her to come exercise with you so that yous can spend time together and get healthy. She may be a little depressed, so that's why she over-eating and becoming a little lax. She needs some friends and some good places to go. She's in a new city, she's gaing weight, having a difficult time concieving and to top it off, she is home alone all day. She has a lot going on inside. Since she is in a new place, she feels isolated. Help and encourage her. Soon as she gets back moving, the pounds will shed. Don't make her feel worse than she already does. Tell her how beautiful she is and how much she means to you. She may be hiding her sadness from you.
As soon as she feels better, she will want to look better. Then, everything can fall into place again.
Good Luck
I hate to say this, but I deal with a wife with depression and weight gain. However, we now have a 3 yr old and another on the way. I love my daughter and wife, but you need to know she may never change. my wife hasn’t. She continues to gain weight (before the current pregnancy) and continues with the depression. I do not understand depression and am exhausted by it. I am not kidding when I say she has our dog on psych drugs and wants to put our 3 yr daughter on Prozac (who certainly has some issues). My point is that make dang sure this is the one. You dont want to end up like me.
