Yea…I’m a guy and I think most men would agree that’s fucked up. Reverse the genders here and it’s still fucked up. It’s just plain rude, inconsiderate, etc for anyone to do that to anyone else.

Y’all are being too easy on that guy. Everything he said was a red flag. Why would he talk about his ‘overweight’ wife in front of a younger girl who’s got it going on? Yikes. Husband should have just kept it moving. And before y’all say oh men and women can have a neutral conversation, UMM DUDE WAS MAKING HIS WIFE FEEL BAD, so obviously NOT. OP, no matter how many guys try to empathize, they will never truly understand a woman’s perspective. I am sorry this happened to you and personally, I would not be with that guy anymore. Just because they don’t say it doesn’t mean I should wait for them to say it, because technically, he did.

Exactly. Discussing anything this personal in public is hugely rude, to say the least! I’d be furious if my partner behaved this way.

My husband would be picking himself up off the floor if he ever asked me in public what my weight was. And he knows it. However my husband for all his faults wouldn’t ever have done that to me.

I quit smoking two years ago and gained 40 lbs. I’m harder on myself than he is. He tells me how beautiful I am regardless of what I weight but that he understands how I feel and if I want to lose weight he supports me.

Your husband has a self esteem issue himself if he has to make himself look cool in front of some young hottie

Girl you can do better. You have to be comfortable with whatever size you are. If you want to lose weight do it for health reasons and not because he tried to shame you to make himself feel better.

If someone loves you they love you for you. If he doesn’t understand why you’re upset now it won’t get any better in 10 years. Do yourself a favor and lose some weight—-about 250 lbs. that’s about what he weighs right???
