After getting married did you get lazy in terms of your appearance? Brother of mine got married last year and his healthy diet and gyming has basically stopped. His attitude is that the only reason he looked after himself before was to impress women.

All I said was that I hope she doesn't do the same!!

So everybody on Earth is married?

I know plenty that are the same, they wear a track in the road for 6 months to look the part in a white dress and its back to macdonalds the week after the wedding.

I know people who have done that too. Personally I couldn't do it. I like to keep fit and healthy for me, not for anyone else. That feeling you get after a long distance run, I never want to give that up. There was a time in my life where I couldn't run one side of a pitch, I never want to be like that again!!

Ageing and the changes/reduced free time having kids will bring aside, I don't understand why a person would choose to "let themselves go" and cause their partner to potentially stop fancying them... when fancying them is one of the reasons their partner started going out with them in the first place!

i doubt people actually make a decision to let themselves go ,
more a case of what "normally" happens after the wedding , work , kids, house , kids kids kids , ect ect , if you have a spare second to yourself for the first 5 years of marriage /kids , you are doing well

The OP is talking about someone who did though, without having children. The whole "Well the deal is sealed now so less effort required" thing. It does happen all right.
Work and housekeeping are a concern whether you're married or not.

I fully acknowledge having children makes it a lot harder to look as great as you'd like to though.

I got lazy when I got engaged, don't even want to think about what it's going to be like when we're married.
