What comes next after the divorce?

chamleon, i understand what you are saying, its shallow, but we are shallow beings. but weight gain is common problem for everybody type, with diet and healthy lifestyle or lippo surgery is an option but to dump someone you love becuase she could get fat, thats asking for karma to kick you in the ass, lets hope 20 years down the line you dont regret it.

Ya, but there's a difference between someone putting on a bit of weight, which is normal for everyone, and someone becoming obese. I was worried about the latter because everything was conspiring towards it: genetics, diet, and lack of desire to exercise. Plus, I wasn't in love with her. I liked her in an objective way because of her many positive attributes, but ultimately, I didn't love her.

i hope i did not coming off like an ass.
 
i understand, if there is no chemisty or physical attraction to begin with, or if their is a huge change in appearance during the relationship. But i can really understand the " may in the future get fat" nobody knows what 1-5 or 10 years may bring and if you found someone physically attractive and good personal chemistry why worry about what she will look like 5 or 10 years down the road.
 
I understand where you are coming from, you do not want your wife to be "obese" nobody does.

"Absence makes the heart go wander"


The Colombians have a saying that goes similar, cant recall it though.
 
Do you guys think that the Colombian culture is more suited for long distance relationships or complete opposit?

There are a couple Colombian expressions about long distance relationships that come to mind:

Amor de lejos, felices los cuatro (long distance love, four happy people)

Amor de lejos, amor de pendejos (long distance love is for fools or a-holes)

My Colombian friends here in Canada took great delight in teaching me those expressions.  Being in a long distance relationship myself, I don't care for them much.

i honestly think that being away helps out alittle bit, as i have been with her for 5 months a couple times, but after working 28 or 42 days i miss her greatly, and being apart reminds me of what i am missing.
 
LDRs are hard but possible
 
Amor de lejos, felices los cuatro; yeah  i have heard that expression

   I remember a saying I heard in Mexico about LDRs: Where there are two, there will be four.

To paraphrase my son: "LDRs suck big time.". The only benefit I get out of it is that I am learning to write love letters of such quality and sincerity that I should have been writing such letters forty years ago. jajajaaja
