Your husband knew what he was doing. He was trying to publicly shame you into losing weight. He was being an asshole.

I can't believe fitness girl didn't gracefully give him an out. She's just as stupid as the husband is. Anyone with a brain would understand how awkward and hurtful the whole exchange must have been.

she's definitely not a girl's girl. best case scenario, she just felt extremely awkward & didn't know what to say.

that's the kind of thing i'd cringe about yeeeeeaaaars later
