She Broke Up With Her Fiancé Because He Admitted He Was Embarrassed To Be Seen With Her After She Gained Some Weight And Called Her Disgusting
This 30-year-old woman is currently engaged, but she and her fiancé, who is 33, are in a long-distance relationship.
Unfortunately, she’s also always struggled with self-esteem and body image issues. In the past, she used to weigh about 160 pounds. More recently, though, she has put on a little weight and is now around 175 pounds.
“It’s been a tough year with exams and other personal challenges, so I knew I had gained some weight,” she explained.
She even told her boyfriend about it and made it clear that she planned to actively work on losing the extra pounds once she returned home.
Yet, after she went to visit her boyfriend a few weeks ago, he made her feel terrible about her appearance.
For some context, she got back from her trip about two weeks ago, and since then, she’s made an effort to change her diet.
“And I started walking two hours daily,” she added.
However, her boyfriend still gave her a call yesterday and claimed he wanted to have an honest conversation. Then, he admitted the reason why they didn’t go out very much during her visit was that he’d actually been “embarrassed” to be seen with her!
On top of that, her boyfriend used the same reason to justify why he didn’t introduce her to any of his friends during her trip.

“He essentially told me that my appearance disgusted him and even compared me to my sisters,” she revealed.
Her boyfriend also went on to say that she was no longer the “person he proposed to” and that if she became pregnant in the future and put on even more weight, he would expect her to eventually lose it all.
“And he basically admitted that he wanted a trophy wife, saying that men are visual beings and that he was very unhappy with the weight I had put on,” she vented.
As you can imagine, this was devastating to hear, and she ultimately decided to call off their engagement and break up with her fiancé.
Nonetheless, in the wake of their split, she can’t help but wonder if ending things was reasonable or if she was being too sensitive.
Do you think her fiancé was out of line? Would you be able to marry someone who said that about your appearance? Was she justified in ending their relationship?
