Dudes! A moment of your time. My wife has been gaining 4 lbs a year for the past few years like clockwork. And I, like a lot of dudes, like a skinny-average girl, and certainly not a chubber. I've suggested "let's work out together" and "let's diet together", as I know she recognizes her negative progress because she complains about it, vows to make a difference, and never follows through.
I'm nearing the end of my patience with this, because she gets defensive anytime I even make suggestions. If I straight up go "dude lose some weight", it would not go well.
In return, I'll answer any questions you have (classification relevant) about the FA-18E Super Hornet.
you just have to accept that she's transforming into a dependapotamus
Julian Sanders
divorce her now, before it is too late.
Josiah Price
Those jokes are made aplenty at her expense
Jaxon Morgan
Eh, that's not how I work
Asher Jackson
she needs to hate her image first - take pictures that highlight her fatness - plan a trip to someplace where she needs to wear a bikini - take her to an offbase club/bar where the college hotties hang out. when no dude looks at her it will burn her - marines will fuck anything so she probably gets hit on constantly which reinforces her fattiness.
Isaiah Myers
well she is gonna get pregnant and you are going to lose everything when she divorces you
Jace Williams
Ask one of her girlfriends to talk to her.
Owen Flores
how long have you been flying?
Julian Reed
That's what's making this difficult; she goes by how she "feels", not how she weighs. I mean you can eat less than well and not workout and feel fine. 200 on girls probably do it all the time. She takes every outlook which avoids her facing that she's getting fatter, so trying to get her to stop ignoring it is like nailing jello to a tree.
What's worse is I haven't seen her in months, but she's coming to see me soon and we're going to frequent a swim up bar that she got a cool "onesie" for. Which tells me she got even fatter and is not comfortable in a bikini.
I'm well aware of marines' lack of target ambiguity haha, but she doesn't really grt hit on alot because she's shy
Nathan Campbell
Haha we're not gonna get divorced man, and she's going to get pregnant because we want to have kids because they'll be fucktons of fun
Jonathan White
I've considered this but her friends kind of share the same haphazard view towards dieting and working out, meaning they won't really be invested in making my point, they'll all turn on me, and the vindiction I sought to avoid will come to bear nonetheless. This is the option I've wanted to try the most but I can't really imagine a situation where it works
Chase Gray
Grow a pair, n tell her she's fat, n lay off the ho-hos'
Daniel Smith
A long time friendo. Close to 2k at this point
Cameron Robinson
use the kid as bait. tell her that you don't want to get her pregnant until she gets back down to fighting weight. tell her the excess weight isn't healthy for the baby during the pregnancy.
the real reason is she likely won't lose the baby weight and take the "eating for 2" literal.
Bentley Morales
Wait, she's already packing on the weight and you don't have kids yet? Dump her now, before its too late.
Christopher Collins
Why should she lose weight for you when you're never fucking home?
Isaac Robinson
awesome man. i'm a tanker dude, i refueled the shit out of you guys in the pacific and downrange.
my wife slowly grew weight to the point of seriously pissing me off too. one of her gfs encouraged her to use a personal trainer. now she's losing weight.
Cameron Johnson
A1: Ask her to go for a hike/bike etc with you, 'hey it's springtime and nice out today, want to go check out x trail with me?' A2: Cook dinner for both of you with reduced portions of high caloric items, but make piles of salad etc so the plate is always full.
Q: How many man hours of maintenance per flight hour approx, and do you know how it compares to F35?
Dylan Rodriguez
start buying her clothes that cover her body. Boyfriends only ever buy women shit that makes them look more naked, start buying her yoga pants and tell her she looks best in them and it will destroy her justifications. If you're in for playing the long con just start slipping in things like "i'd love you no matter what you looked like" working your way up to "id rather you were happy than thin" - then when you've made it to this point start letting her catch you watching porn with women who look like she used to, or if you're feeling super brave, let her walk in on you jacking it to an old picture of her. What this will do is force her to trap and "womantrap" you by asking questions like "do you find me less sexy than you used to" because women are conniving and she will think she will get her apology at which point you can dodge and evade while crucially never saying that you still find her sexy
If she does not attempt to fix your relationship by losing weight from that point she is a lost cause and would be fat no matter what you do as long as you are together
Also how many rounds of counter measures does an fa18 have before it has to give up on a dogfight?
Jacob Cook
that the job of a military wife. "the hardest job in the military"
Michael Phillips
Oh trust me that thought has scared this shit out of me, because I know she won't give two shits about losing the baby weight once it's there and she'll just accept it. In a way you're right, impressing on her that if she goes into a pregnancy like this then she'll leave it far worse may have some sway, but I can see that poing being ignored for the far easier bait of "oh you think I'm fat?", thoroughly dodging the actual conversation
Xavier Nelson
what type of engine does the f-18e have?
Henry Flores
Being in myself I really don't have much sympathy for someone complaining about their wife when they're literally never home. You should have gotten out a long time ago. I'm going to at the first opportunity.
Parker Jenkins
I'm getting close to it honestly, but that's why I can here. I've taken pretty good courses of action up til now but it's not working. I want to exhaust everything before I commit to a big fight
Carter Morris
fag
Anthony Morales
i finally had to tell her. i would point out the fatass women on scooters and say that's going to be you in you're not careful. also explained that the excess weight would cut off her life and therefore our retirement time together.
Jack Kelly
Not sure how those two correlate, but its a lifestyle I want us to have down pat so that when we start our family our kids adapt the good habits we model for them. It also has the added benefit of staying tight for your significant other, give them something nice to love ya know?
Cameron Wright
bruh, that's the job. anyone should have explain that to them. my wife understood and handled shit when i was gone, even when it was short-notice with an unknown return date.
Wyatt Nelson
Well the 18 is comprised of legacy (A-D) and super (E/F); the legacy boasts the f404-GE-400 and 402, where the rhino uses the f414
Jaxson Ross
Tell her you are finsing other women more attractive. Make her insecure. She isn't maintaining herself because she thinks shes got you in check.
Noah Hill
Trust me, jealousy is a huge motivator for women.
Jordan Walker
Try approaching it as if you were genuinely concerned for her health and your future together. "Honey, I'm starting to worry about being alone because you won't get healthy," or something along those lines.
William Cook
What tanker? Loveee me some gas, provided you don't drag me through a thunderstorm, where I grip the black out of the stick and pucker so hard I suck up the seat cushion haha.
Dude I've offered that to her plenty of times, like I will literally pay for a professional to guide you every step of the way. But she says it isn't necessary, again dodging her problem. I cant force it on her.
Alexander Green
Tried that, fizzled out shortly unfortunately. And I'm not guiltless here, I love eating shit food as much as her. But,I actually work it off; eating healthy is actually not bad, there are ways to,make it tasty, but both our jobs discourage spending any prolonged amount of time to make a healthy dinner cuz we're both just exhausted at the end of a day
Gavin Stewart
You need to start complimenting other women on how they look, in front of her. "Wow, Cindy, you look great in that dress!" Shit like that. She will go out of her mind with jealousy and be in the gym within a week.
Xavier Morales
increase you comments on prettier women and stuff, neg her, make it seem like you're going to seek pleasure elsewhere. If you're good looking enough yourself it will work to make her want to be better. If you're ugly she'll laugh and find some beta with money
Kayden Peterson
Also sorry to answer your Q: I don't know a number concretely, but I've heard 40 I think? One of the biggest selling points of the Rhino is its ease of maintenance, I meant the jet literally tells you exactly what's wrong with it post every flight. And replacing and repairing some hsrd to reach parts got way easier with the super. We never have a problem with up jets to fly if that helps.
I don't know a number for the 35, but I've heard dropping it's engine is fucking terrible. Like all new jets I bet it'll be good for the first few hundred hours, but after that my wager is the thing is a giant turd
Connor Howard
This was me, just another thought: you could also try guilt tripping her into something, like suggest that she wants to leave, or she's trying to drive you away by not doing what'd be good for her and you as a couple... Expressing increased interest with females of the body type you want her to be could go either way; she'd either snap out of it and do it, or she'd sink into a funk because of it, depends on the chica.
Charles Smith
Did I miss something? Why didnĀ“t you see her in months? Are you a soldier on duty?
Also, we need pictures to rate the the situation. Best would be before and current pictures. No face needed!
But I guess the jelousy tactic is the most likely plan that will work. Even after a big talk and honesty, she will remain or at least get fat again very soon.
Cameron Long
>I've suggested "let's work out together" Maybe you could be more insistent has the right idea, but drive it from the point that you are already going, and are saying to her to come or not. Using anons example, instead of 'want to go check out x trail with me?', you put it on her by saying 'I'm going out to x trail, are you coming? No? Why not?' If she really needs incentive, throw in a 'Maybe I'll treat you to lunch when we're done' and get her a nice healthy lunch from somewhere. Then walk fast/up hills and make her feel unfit to the point she feels compelled to get in shape, 'You think you're gonna be able to keep up with the kids when you can hardly walk up a hill? You're gonna get stuck in the water slide one day at this rate'
Blake Nguyen
OP do it without her. Go to the gym. Then like this user suggests complement other women. find some hot chick in a Celeb bread, print out her pic and put it somewhere subtle, garage or workspace. or near your comp.
Don't assault the issue directly. Passive comments designed to attack emotionally will get you your win.
Owen Bell
That's certainly a dare tactic ha. I don't really think that would work on her, she'd likely embrace it.
So that's a hard question to answer. The short answer is we have just over 100 slots to fill with any combination of type of chaff or flare. That's less than half of most interceptors/ air superiority fighters.
However, with the less than stellar thrust to weight of the rhino and the legs of the modern adversary missile, you're not going to give up on a dogfight. Ever. Once committed, you need to kill or die. Certain countermeasures can certainly deter or defeat enemy missiles, but not all.
Ryan Torres
How many times have you activated the EOS because you feel you're going hypoxic? How about your pilot buddies?
Also: Women who are Happy in a relationship gain weight. The time to worry is when she suddenly starts hitting the gym and getting herself back in "fuck me" shape. Protip, brah.
Colton Wilson
How did she react when you dropped that bombshell?
Austin Reed
OP have you considered being a man and throwing out all the junk food in your fridge. Women are essentially adult children. If you enforce discipline and law down rules without losing your temper they will respond.
Simply say your getting fat and I don't want to fall out of love with you. So more more eggos or frozen pizza.
then walk out of the room and if she is yelling close the door.
Austin Diaz
you are doing the exact same thing many men have done with the same excuses many have said before it came true.
I was like you once.
Get out while you still can.
Jacob Perry
Agreed, which is an unconscious selfishness I find despicable. That's an aggressive take,on,insecurity though, I don't want her to be motivated by her thinking I'm going to cheat. That seems rather venemous
Sebastian Gray
135s, the low-rider of the tanker force.
Adam Jackson
That's what ive been doing unfortunately
Christian Price
she was hurt at first, but i explained it that i'm her best friend and would tell her things even her best girlfriend would bring up. she accepted the criticism and tried to find way to start working out again.
Blake Myers
I'm deployed, and to keep anonymity I'm not posting her pics, sorry. What you can know is she used to,float around 120 and id bet she's just iver 140 st this point. She's about 5'4.
And yeah, after every small talk things bever stay good.
Evan Bailey
Her not maintaining herself is poisining your relationship. She needs to take responsibility for your needs. To do that she needs to REALLY understand what they are. You find other women HOT because shes getting fat. Simple. It's not venemous, its the truth.
Brandon Rivera
This. Ditto. She's married now.She doesn't have to try. Just wait till the sex stops because you're a fat shamer. That'll happen as soon as you have the number of kids she wants. Learn about prostitutes, or start a porn collection and learn to love yourself, or get an affair lined up.
Bentley Green
I like this. I've been considering surprising her with a pair of spin bikes when i get home, abd telling her we're riding 45 minutes every day. But this is right along those lines and good as well
Aaron Barnes
Mfw she's like 110 and OP is crazy with referred anorexia
Juan Johnson
Kinda did this already. Had a fucking gorgeous pic of Emma Watson as my desktop background on our shared desktop computer in her office
Cameron Ward
Very true. And we are really happy, don't get me wrong, I'm trying to improve the "me" happiness so it doesn't infringe on "our" happiness.
And I've only pulled the green ring once. I'm not sure if I was hypoxic, but things weren't adding up and my,trsining daid pull it. They're free after all. At the docs after landing my CO levels were higher than normal.
Almost everybody has pulled the ring at this point. The OBOGS problem is real, and its scary. The older legacy birds have cabin pressure incidents as they age too. Several good pilots are getting,sent to,the hospital because their jet took them from stratosphere to reef diving. While still ON DECK.
Caleb Jackson
Girls want you to subvert control. They want you to do everything without looking like you're doing anything.
Try telling her you have a surprise for her, and then go with her to a yoga class at the gym you just bought her a month's subscription to. What's the maximum payload on the hornet?
Xavier Roberts
Haha no I'd be force feeding her hardees at that point
Bentley King
user, you guys got a REAL issue. Can't say much, but I'm one of the dudes working on it. OBOGS is part of airframe, so big-league dudes don't want to admit that's the problem.
There is a low-cost solution out there, but getting brass to move on it is like rolling a giant rock uphill... I'm pissed that the Operators are treated like shit.
Landon Ward
set up a wife swap
Josiah Anderson
What IQ do you need to pilot a FA-18E Super Hornet?
Christian Brooks
Ive gone to Barre and body pump classes with her. She loves those, but will easily find an excuse not to go. But the biggest problem is she HATES cardio, which is an obvious problem.
Max takeoff/catapult weight is 66k, so quite a lot. Ive seen several birds go flying with 4 2,000 lb bombs and 500 pounders outboard of that. With the exception of a few niche loadoit considerations, you can really load her up with whatever you want, provided that the maneuverability and speed you'll lose by doing so doesn't negate any minimum defensive considerations mandated by the mission
Tyler Ross
This is all you have to say. I want to set a good example for our future children and that means making lifestyle changes now. If you're not willing to do that then we shouldn't have kids. If we aren't going to have kids, which is something I want, then we may as well call it quits now.
Just, you know, be as nice as possible about it.
John Thomas
OP the more I read this thread the more I realize you got trapped by a baby-hungry succubus.
DUMP THAT CUNT
Hunter Garcia
Me too dude. While OBOGS sucks and can be scary, I'm way nore nervous for my Charlie brethren. There's one too gun graduate who got squeezed fucking bad a few times and may never fly again. Aside from that obviously being terrible for him, and he's a great dude, the navy lost a fuck ton of experience and skill there.
Ryan Morris
instead of just running. have her do a couch to 5k workout or incline walking.
Daniel Cook
>exhaust everything before I commit to a big fight >using military tactics in relationship
Would seem like the man is a genius, except...
>having a bitch crazy enough you have to resort to military tactics
Nicholas Harris
While your wording is funny, she certainly didn't trap me. Career and personality wise she's a fucking treat. Just need to tone her up a bit...
Angel Morales
Canada is looking to purchase Super Hornets instead of the F-35. What are your thoughts on this?
Jonathan Foster
she's probably a freak in the sheets
Oliver Collins
Problem is, they're chasing all the unicorns guessing at what the "single" issue may be. It's a combination of factors, but in one squadron I'm working with 70% of flights are coming back with EOS activated by the operator. If 70% of the time you had to use the Emergency Brake on your car, there would be a massive recall and hell to pay.
Jackson Garcia
That's the problem; I've done exactly this. Multiple times now. Which is why my frustration now approaches a boil.
Robert Diaz
not OP hornets = proven system, reasonably fuel efficient f35 = still getting the bugs worked out. expense to repair
James Myers
Haha true when taken out of context, but she's the opposite of crazy, which is why i ringed that shiz. I just wabt to achueve my goals without hurting her, cuz you know, love n stuff
Adrian Morgan
post photo of her ass.
Leo Nelson
If that's already been said nothing will change. I just ripped off the bandaid on a 5 year relationship because I couldn't see myself raising children with her. I know you don't wanna hear it but you know it's the truth. If you have to have a conversation like that more than once, nothing will change.
Sebastian Sanders
Have you ever had to eject out of the seat and use a parachute?
Whats it feel like to jump out of a plane?
Nicholas Morgan
I was a 35 hater, and still am to certain extents. One engine? Ill never fly it.
I did get a brief only someone like me could on her capabilities... Trust me, we want her.
Say >hey, quit putting on 4lbs a year like a stupid fat bitch
i had ti pick street signs to tell you this remember thats what i done to give you this answer
Jacob Foster
Is peanut oil recommended for making scrambled eggs? Or should I use canola oil?
Eli Mitchell
If she is exponentially gaining weight, you should just divorce her because she does not love you anymore.
Jordan Martin
Cheff & Nutritionist here, OP.
Your observation reflects the most common challenge faced by the north American lifestyle; how to make healthy eating easy. The key is to pre-meditate every meal. If you plan to eat healthy ahead of time it is much easier to commit to, and easier to make an automated routine out of.
In our commercialized society with advertisements created to make money, we are bombarded with temptation at every turn. You must be stoic in your battle and remind yourself that those adds reflect someone trying to make money by making you less healthy.
When you do the grocery shopping, only plan to eat healthy things. Know that you're going to want to cheat and snack so buy yourself healthy snack foods (I prefer un-salted nuts and banana chips). When you cheat, cheat by eating only healthy whole fats like butter, cheese or animal fat as opposed to the saturated artificial fats in fast foods and snack foods.
Make it a rule to only eat food you/your wife have prepared yourselves.
But most of all, OP, if she can't/refuses to stick to a diet when you're not in front of her..... dumb that adult child before she gets knocked up and all her crazy is permanently justified.
Chase Bennett
put her on protein diet without telling her, 4 days in first week on month and 4 days on 3rd. Red meat , beans, shit like this. Just make sure she drinks a lot of water on diet days ( do sex or i dunno take her to the park wtf man find something ). It will look like she's losing weight by herself so she'll feel young and confident thus you'll get more BJ
Michael Cook
thanks cheff
Joseph Ward
Spotted some fucktard officer on the bush. Fuck you. Fuck you and your nice ass layed back deployment.
Isaac Hughes
Metabolism gets fucky as you age, mang. It happens to a lot of people, maybe not everyone, but it happens. Im pretty fit but I cant eat a frickin mcdouble anymore without my ass jiggling for a week.
Pretty shallow you'd marry a woman for better or worse then want out when nature happens.. She should cheat on you with someone who isn't so superficial.
Levi Wright
You east or west coast squadron?
James Foster
Are you willing to walk away? You have to be, or else she will walk all over you.
Take a gamble and get caught eyeing up the hottest girl at the bar. If she questions it, shrug and say you can't help you still like what you liked when you met her.
You don't have any kids. She has practically no power over you. You're a fucking American fighter pilot. You can have any woman you want, borders be damned. You might even find one that's not going to end up critically dependent on you! Dying at the stick would be more merciful than getting old with this woman clinging to you. At least it would be over quickly, and you wouldn't have to feel ashamed of it.
Matthew Murphy
OP, Have you ever flown in one of these Super Hornets? What kind of G-forces did you experience?
Also..
Hey, Brother. Listen up. Whever Gs you felt in that cock pit do not even compare to the emotional roller coaster that GIRL (not woman) has you riding on. She is clearly still a young adolescent girl mentally/emotionally and is being controlled by desires she does not conciously observe (which is why she always dodges the issues).
This bitch wants a baby. Weather or not she talks about the fact that having a baby is literally the only thing she wants in life (yes more than you, in fact she would most likely murder you to get it) all of her actions are being directed by this cardinal desire. This would be fine if she was an adult woman mentally, capable of logic, reasoning and self control as opposed to lieing to herself about how she feels and throwing up buffer after buffer of mental incredulity. However since she is not, having the baby and satisfying this one and only sub-concious goal of hers will tell her: "Everything I did up untill this point was correct because I reached my goal!", and the crazy will become worse ten fold. One hundred fold. The crazy will not even be measurable by the same tools anymore.
Brother, please believe me; this is not wife material. She is still immature and not truly self aware. For the good of your nation, please do not bread this bitch.
Brody Lewis
OP post pics of fat wife
Nathan Foster
This might actually work against a child such as herself... but who wants to be stuck playing these childish games in adulthood
Gavin Walker
He's straight, user. He's pretty much stuck with this.
Nicholas Davis
>HATES doing cardio >Avoids the thing she specifically needs to do >Avoids hard work whenever possible >Wants to be a mom
Fuck it. I'd just start calling her "madam Trump" untill she figures out how fucked up she is
Asher Martin
I got a question for ya? Reactor fag here. Have you ever been waived off on approach because of issues with the propulsion plant/reactor side of things not being able to support your recovery?
