I kinda had some problems with that one as well, and my mind leapt instantly to the previous columns you mentioned. *ponders, gets cranky* WTF?? There's NO way a conversation that starts out "I'm not attracted to you any more because you've gained weight" is going to end up having ANY positive impact . . . not with the way our society has structured the importance of weight/attractiveness in self-image and sense of worth. Anything that was said after that would be blotted out by the just plain mean. :-(
