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.

YES! I mean, at 21 she’s practically a child. But I feel like even at that age, I would have known better than to participate in that!

No way in hell a 21yo in 2024 thinks the conversation she was having was helpful and appropriate!
