My husband and I remained faithful to each other while we were fat. Now we’ve lost weight together and started cheating

I’ve been married for almost fifteen years. And I’ve been fat for as long as I can remember. Probably the fact is that I was raised by my mother and grandmother. My father left us when I was three years old. My mother worked all the time, and my grandmother took care of me.

And to compensate for the lack of parental love, she fed me. Grandma cooked delicious food and a lot of it. So I got into the habit of eating a lot. Of course, I was embarrassed about my fatness.

I was on diets that didn’t really help. Then I bought myself oversized hoodies and dresses. And then somehow I just came to terms with it. And I decided that since I was destined to be fat, there was nothing I could do about it.

Vitya, my husband, has about the same story. He was always chubby too. We can say that, to some extent, that’s why we got along. It is clear that when you are overweight, and there are many slim friends around, no one chooses you.

We met Vitya in a common company. Two lonely hearts saw each other. He sat down next to me and asked something. I answered. So the two of us chatted all evening. And then Vitya invited me on a date. I agreed.

Of course, besides the fact that we were both overweight, we had other common interests. We both loved the same books and films, and we both liked staying at home more than going out. In general, I really liked Vitya. Interesting, smart, with a good sense of humor.

We got married a year and a half after we met. And, in general, everything in our family life was going well. I worked, took care of the house, and, of course, cooked a lot and deliciously. Vitya also worked, earned much more than me, but at the same time he could help me.

Then we had children, a son and a daughter. After two births, I gained another ten extra pounds. After a couple of years, my husband was promoted. If he used to run around objects, now he sat in his office almost all the time. And then Vitya also picked up.

And everything seemed to suit us. To be more precise, we simply didn’t think it could be any other way. And then we somehow got examined by a doctor. And it turned out that we have a bunch of risk factors. And that if they are not eliminated, in ten to fifteen years this could result in serious complications.

That was the first time we seriously thought about excess weight. After all, there are two small children, and I wouldn’t want to leave them without parents. For the first time in our lives, we really took care of our health.

Nutrition, sports, everything is as it should be. Probably because this time we had real motivation. Well, and also good specialists.

We lost weight for a long time and according to plan, about a year and a half. And the result surprised us. I’m younger, probably fifteen years. And I have never felt so good. So easy. I used to always think that I sweated excessively and that I couldn’t walk for a long time. But it turns out that all this was due to excess weight.

I also began to enjoy shopping. Previously, I tried to quickly try on a thing, make sure it fits me, and go to the checkout. And now I could spin in front of the mirror for hours.

I also began to pay attention to my hair, face, and nails. And when I started doing them, it turned out that I was very pretty.

This was confirmed when other men began to pay attention to me. I suddenly saw that they were looking at me with interest and admiration. And they even come up to meet you. And the amount of attention just made me dizzy.

Probably the same thing happened to my husband. After all, he lost a lot of weight and looked younger, just like me. When we stayed together, I saw that he, too, seemed to be somewhere not here. He thought about the women who showed him signs of attention. And so we sat in the evenings, both inspired, but at the same time lost.

And everything in our life seems to be perfect. Only now Vitya and I started… cheating on each other. I don’t know which of us was first. Probably around the same time.

This happened to me with a work colleague. He recently joined our company and from the first day he began to show interest in me. And before, no one, not even my husband, had looked after me like that.

They wrote me passionate messages, showered me with compliments, and constantly asked me out. At some point I couldn’t stand it and started an affair with him.

Vitya didn’t seem to notice anything. And I understood why. Based on certain signs, I guessed that he also began dating someone. Oddly enough, I wasn’t even offended by him for this. Because she clearly understood what he was experiencing.

And until I decided what to do next. Perhaps we just need to go through this period of euphoria and enjoyment of our own body, and then we will begin to live as before again.

Or is this a new moment in our lives, after which we will separate, and everyone will begin to live their own lives? And for myself, I have not yet decided which option suits me best.
