I just loved the word "Twatwaffle". I really need to work it into everyday conversation.

I felt sick reading about Chris insisting that she couldn't have a job outside the home and sure enough, he actually admits the motivation behind that demand was to ensure her entrapment! What a pos. I do wonder if she thought he was cheating on her all those years when he went to the company's BTEs, but considering that she ended up going with someone else who worked there tells me she is a beauty inside and out and Chris might have felt threatened. I have a friend who's husband sabatoges her diet on purpose to keep her "plump" so she's less desirable to others. Same issue, different tactic. This is one of the best stories of revenge I've read here!

Twat waffle and snogglegoster... Now I have two favorite new names to call horrible people

My ex told me "Lose 30 lbs and i will knock you up," when we talked about kids - I lost 165 lbs that day. Good on the wife for doing the same.

I think he attended the black tie event alone because it's an abusive tactic to keep the wife at home and severely restrict where she can go, to program her into believing she's only capable of being home and going to a couple limited locations like the grocery store. I know this sounds extreme; I couldn't believe this really happens until I met someone whose husband did exactly this to her.

So glad she got out. I remember some years ago listening to a friend of my cousin talking about how she was struggling to lose the weight she gained while pregnant. Maybe 10 pounds or so, she looked great. Her motivation was that her BF refused to sleep with her until she did. The baby was less then 6 months old.

I am so impressed with her weight loss, she managed to lose a huge sack of sh*t a.k.a Chris. Well done girl!!!!

What a satisfying story! And what a great word - “twatwaffle”!

UUUUUUGGHHHHH I DON’T GET IT. Double standers are so annoying. Apart from the verbal abuse, this is just downright awful. I don’t even know what to say. Good on her for leaving that price of s**t

I've seen a few divorced men hit the gym and get "back into shape" after they got divorced. It's creepy if it is only so they can get laid.

I've never felt more appreciative to have a husband who likes my body however it is than reading this tonight. He was into me when I was way too thin and later when I filled out a bit, pregnant, sick, pregnant fat, athletic & fit, thin but not toned, fit fat, and my latest old fat, he's into all of it, likes to show me off like a trophy no matter how awful I think I look. We've been together just over 30 years now...I kinda think he's in love with my hair - no matter, he likes my natural grey highlights. Luckiest woman in the world. Still, I'm working on losing weight for me and he loves that too.

....And this is why you don't marry the first idiot you come across when you're young.

i'm making a note of the word "twatwaffle" ... i want to use it more often in conversation :) and this guy definitely seems to fit that description

I was reading this first thinking, "honey, throw the whole husband away!" And then I was grinning when she DID!!! I love these stories!!!

When the title said malicious compliance I was afraid she lost a lot of weight, enough to be skeletal at only 6lbs over to start. Whew! And 6lbs, wow. Even 60 shouldn't matter aside from health effects.

I want to high 5 this woman, bet hubs is regretting his actions now.

This is a movie I would watch

What a delightful outcome. Go Jen.

I was smiling ear-to-ear for the last half of this. PERFECT!

There is a line in a 1987 Game Theory song - "'hubby red-faced after bizarre weight-loss ritual '" - the song is 'The Waist and the Knees' from the 'Lolita Nation' LP - that's a hell of a coincidence!

I'm curious how people would react if he had tried to get both her and himself involved with more exercise activities to lower both of their weights. While this guy seems like a jerk, there is the legitimate case of a someone feeling less attracted to their partner because they gain a lot of weight. How do you work on improving your partner's health without insulting them?

I remember my husband saying, “Why don’t you look more like Amy Adams?” after we watched American Hustle. Never forgot that though he doesn’t remember saying it of course. Yes, if I did, I’d be a movie star too. I had gained some weight and tried to get healthier a few times over the years but nothing worked. He’d always say when I embarked on a new plan (and I do have health, nutrition and fitness knowledge from university), “Why do you think this time will work, when it didn’t before?” So encouraging. Well, I started having terrible stomach issues and other symptoms and was diagnosed with a digestive disorder called Sibo by my naturopath (an allopathic Dr. didn’t really help - only gave me pills to reduce stomach acid). I followed a special restrictive diet protocol to relieve my symptoms which included nausea, vomiting and chronic fatigue, then reset my gut flora. As a side effect I lost all the extra weight I had been carrying for a dozen years (since I think I had antibiotics).
