She Didn’t Defend Her Boyfriend When His Friends Called Him Fat Since He Commented On Her Weight At Dinner A Few Nights Ago
When this 24-year-old girl met her 28-year-old boyfriend, Steve, she weighed 135 pounds (she’s 5’6″), but now she weighs 155 pounds.
As for Steve, he’s always been chubby, weighing around 210 (he’s 5’10”). Steve is active and hardly could be called fat, but he’s not a stick figure, either.
She says she was skinny when she started dating Steve 18 months ago, but she has put on weight. She’s still considered healthy if you take her height into consideration, but she’s just no longer super thin.
Several evenings ago, she and Steve went out to dinner, and he made a shocking comment to her.
“He told me I should watch what I eat because I’m gaining weight,” she explained. “I rolled my eyes and ordered a burger and fries (same thing as Steve) because I thought it was just a poorly thought-out joke.”
“But on the car ride home, he told me he was concerned because I was gaining weight and becoming unhealthy and less attractive.”
“He put it gently, but I was still upset and pointed out that he wasn’t the poster child of thinness himself, but he said it’s different because he’s the same size he was when we got together.”
She shut down the conversation and went to sleep in the guest room. The following morning, when she woke up, Steve pleaded with her to forgive him, saying that he was incredibly sorry.
Steve has never had a slip-up like that during their relationship, so she agreed to forget about what he said.

She truly did move on, but then, last night, she and Steve were spending time with his friends. Steve’s friends were joking around as usual, insulting one another and being boys.
Steve’s friends then started calling him fat, and while Steve played along, she could tell he was quite upset.
“I thought about telling the friends to cut it out, but then remembered what Steve said to me just a few nights prior and decided he could handle a bit of playful teasing,” she added.
“When we got home, Steve asked me why I didn’t stick up for him when I knew he was uncomfortable. I told him I thought he could handle it, given what he so comfortably said to me the other night.”
“Steve said it was different because he didn’t make fun of my weight in front of my friends, and he was coming from a place of concern. He said he thought we had agreed to move past the comment he made and that what I did was petty and holding a grudge.”
She insisted they were not going to accomplish anything if they kept on talking and asked to take some time apart to think about what had happened.
Steve went to stay in a hotel after that, and he should be coming home soon. She’s really not convinced she did anything wrong.
She spoke to her sister about it, who maintains she should have called Steve fat along with his friends.
Her sister feels she let Steve off easy and should have been cruel back to him. She’s worried her sister is taking a strong stance because she’s a pretty bold person.
Do you think she owes Steve an apology for not defending him from his friends after he commented on her weight at dinner a few nights ago?
