also it might just be because i'm all traumatized and a delusional recovering-ed brat but i don't really think it's productive to theorize about a man directly contributing to his wife's eating disorder maybe (or maybe not! because that's already an assumption) relapsing. especially when you're only 'bringing this to light' to put him down and not to raise her up. it just makes you seem misogynistic tbh to narrow down a woman's struggle like that to being entirely caused by a man (it definitely wasn't entirely his fault, if at all, even if we are to assume that her ed did relapse during their marriage, because she had already talked about struggling with an ed before they had even met) and the only reason that you care about this is how it affected her in relation to a man that you're obsessed with.
there was (and still is) a bigger problem at play here with how misogynistic beauty standards tie into fatphobia, but you seem more interested in theorizing about how truly awful a singular man actually MIGHT HAVE BEEN vs. how to dismantle that misogynistic, fatphobic system that spurns eating disorders on and how to uplift women (and all ed havers and survivors of all genders, for that matter).
