Her Husband Bought Her A Diet Plan For Their Anniversary, And She’s Really Offended
Can you imagine asking your spouse for a piece of jewelry for your anniversary and, instead, getting a dieting handbook?
That happened to a woman who is now extremely angry with her husband after he put her on a diet plan as an anniversary gift.
She and her husband recently celebrated their anniversary, and they discussed what they might like as a gift beforehand.
She knew her husband wanted a nice watch, so she got it and was proud of herself.
When her husband asked her what she wanted, she mentioned she’d like some new jewelry but that it didn’t have to be crazy expensive.
Then, much to her surprise, when their anniversary rolled around, her husband revealed he signed her up for a diet plan as a gift.
“I find this annoying because my husband is overweight when my BMI is on the lower end of ideal,” she said.
“My husband, [who is] European, says in his culture, an average BMI is overweight for women, and the BMI system is catered towards fatter, American bodies.”
Her husband also believes that a man’s weight shouldn’t matter as long as he’s considered strong.

She’s noticed that her husband likes how many women are thin in Europe, which has made her insecure.
Her mother-in-law is also a big fan of thinner people and has made snide comments about her having a “healthy appetite” in the past.
“It’s [considered] polite for a woman not to finish her food in Europe and to tend to order lighter plates when you go out,” she explained.
“I made the mistake of not doing this when I first met his parents, and my husband was really embarrassed.”
She felt very hurt upon opening the diet plan, as it was an indicator to her that her husband is likely still embarrassed that she’s not European supermodel thin.
She asked her husband to return his gift, and he did, but not before asking her if she’d promise not to “embarrass him” by ordering or eating larger amounts of food in public or around his family anymore.
“He says it doesn’t matter what I eat in private, but with his family and in public, I have to respect cultural differences,” she added.
Now, she’s beginning to wonder if she was rude for making her husband return the gift, as although she doesn’t like how he wants her to change her body, she can tell he genuinely thought she’d enjoy trying it.
Should she feel guilty, or would you have been offended as well?
