Men can be such pigs (and I say this as a man). Wah wah, my wife is fat. Your "friend" is a jerk.

Women suffer from all sorts of issues that men have no idea about. She may have PCOS or lipedema. But here the guy is whining that oh his wife is fat and he's just not attracted. He's "afraid to touch her". Such bullshit. He doesn't deserve her.
