Thanks for a great article! Another aspect of difficulty in relationships after weight loss surgery can be due to the fact that sometimes when we are overweight, we settle or tolerate certain situations, but as we lose weight and gain self confidence, we also realize that we are deserving of respect and happiness, and therefore choose to end toxic relationships. This has been my personal experience!

I completely agree! If we enter relationships when we are NOT in touch with our own value and worth, and then begin to feel better about ourselves, it is quite natural to want to have relationships that reflect where we are now…not where we used to be.
This can be quite scary for many couples, but by the same token, it's an opportunity for both individuals to get more clarity about what they each want and need. In some cases, this could mean leaving a relationship that doesn't support you to make healthy choices or take good care of yourself. In other cases, it might mean that both partners have "settled" in certain ways, and that they each need to do some work so that they can come to the partnership with new eyes, and more clarity about how they want to be with each other in the future.
The beautiful thing is…once we begin to get a sense of our non-negeociable self-worth, anything is possible.
