For couples who were both overweight and one person lost the weight, how did it change your relationship?

If nothing changed or you can’t relate to this, then disregard this post.

I’m curious about the relationship dynamics here.

If both you and your partner were overweight, but one of you ended up losing a significant amount of weight while the other stayed overweight, how did that affect things?

If you were the one who lost the weight:

- Did it change how you felt about yourself?
- Did it change how you viewed your partner physically or emotionally?
- Did your partner treat you differently after the weight loss?
- Did it create any tension, jealousy, insecurity, or distance?

If you were the one who stayed overweight:

- How did your partner’s weight loss make you feel?
- Were you happy for them, inspired, insecure, resentful, or a mix of things?
- Did it change how you saw yourself or the relationship?
- Did you feel like the dynamic between you changed?

I’m interested in honest experiences, both positive and negative. Weight loss has a major impact in not only a persons health and size but also their self esteem and how others perceive them. I imagine it could also have a pretty big impact on a relationship, and I don’t hear people talk about this side of it very often.
