Ouch
Looks like somebody hid a nerve.
lol

Nah, not at all. I just feel that it should be a l-o-n-g way from asking a
polite and simple question to getting buttock-brained, blue-sky theorising
about the nature and quality of A.N. Other's relationship. Sadly, people
seem determined immediately to proffer such gratuitous speculations.
Usenet's a bit like the exchange, attributed to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Alan
Jay Lerner:

ALW: Why do people take an instant dislike to me?
AJL: Because it saves time.

I guess I took it negatively because of the subject line. Most people think of
'playing games' in a relationship with negativity. So that gives the post a
negative slant, weather it was intended or not.
FWIW, I played a similar 'game' many years ago. I was transferred out of state
for 6 months, I didn't tell anyone I was losing weight, when I got back I was
50 lbs lighter and pretty psyched.
I'm sure I did it for the attention. But again, that was many years ago and I
doubt very much that I would do it again.

Oh dear. How sad that the mere mention of games should risk being viewed
negatively. Games are wonderful things.

Thanks for putting me straight, however.

Roger Zoul at talked on ....

embarrassing. Much better, imo, to just do it and let the resultl speak for
themselves.

Zactly .. Then you know it's for you and you're not doing it because you're
being pressured .. Well then again .. You could be - but to quietly go about
what you are doing, then when someone asks, tell all!

That's what I did .. Now to get some low carb choices in this house for
supper

About the games, it sounds like this is not the 1st game you have played in
your marriage. Maybe marriage counseling would be in order?

Hmmm .. They've been married for 20 years - I'm sure that they would have
ironed out any significant problems by now!

Besides .. What is wrong with just doing it for you .. He has enough
confidence in himself and his wife that she would support him in any WOL or
WOE that he chooses to undertake. AND he's not dictating HER dietary needs
with his choices! I'm sure that if he asked her, she would gladly prepare
low carb for him .. She might even jump on the low carb wagon herself ..but
it will be HER choice

there is also this element of surprise thing going on that can be a turn-on
in relationships. A "oh, my man is trying to look better for me," kinda
thing.

And he used the term "playing games," which seems like an automatic red flag
for the ladies I can see that logic!

Oh yeah.

I gotta say ... there were a LOT of red flags in the post, actually.

Some disfunctional relationships continue for a lifetime.
