How do your families/friends feel about your relationships? Anonymous

For context we're both in our early 20s and my gf is fairly big (250-300lb range but built like picrel) and I try to stay as fit as I can. over the course of our relationship ive had many of my family and friends pull me aside and tell me that I could do better (skinnier) and urging me to never move in with her. My dad often says hes disappointed and that i should leave her for someone "hotter". The only problem anyone ever has with her is her weight which obviously i dont care about. Other than that she's nice and makes decent money. Im in love with her so listening to them isn't an option. I also live with my parents so I hear about this pretty often. Do any of you have similar stories and have you found a way to deal with people hating or trying get you to end your relationship? So far all I can do is try not to let them get in my head too much.

The easiest way is to just be blunt about it. Your not settling and that fat chicks are what you're into. Even if they can't wrap their head around it everyone knows what a chubby chaser is.

>>78308 Ur right, I should stand by my woman and my attraction to her instead of just letting people think im settling for less. They think i can do better but I already have what I want

Family has spoken up saying they are concerned about her weight given the basic tasks she cannot do with ease.

>>78316 I feel that. My gf got a job that keeps her standing all day and works out once in a while so shes actually gotten alot more capable lately so I think my family just literally hates that she has a belly.

>>78316 My family was the same way with my ex (mid-300s). Not out of anti-fat sentiment, but genuine concern about her health. I had a relative whose knees ended up basically being bum due to the sheer amount of pressure his weight put on them on a day-to-day basis. She had medical issues which were already straining her knees to a point where even a quarter-mile walk could an impossibility, depending on the day. Nothing to say of how a number of relatively minor tasks felt like major endeavors due to a combination of physical and mental issues.

I have the other problem. My family is too rehearsed. They had to notice she was bigger this Christmas, I wish I got a tiny indication though. I mean, I don’t want them to say anything to make her feel bad, but I would’ve enjoyed seeing their expression break for just a second while looking at her stomach or something. Her mom is starting to get a little prematurely senile though, but I’m hoping a comment might pop out one day

when i was 16 i had the first serious gf i ever had and before my mom met her I said look mom she is a heavier girl so don't be surprised or caught off guard- its just what I'm into. Nobody ever said a thing. But I did also come from a family of larger women so, it was probably just seen as normal.

My mum has always been very judgemental towards fat people and makes comments about them when she sees them along the lines of "how could anyone let themselves get like that" and "They are killing themselves" It ruined my confidence for a long time and I was never confident enough to bring any heavier women home and any potential girlfriends she would make comments about Well jokes on her because as soon as I left home I ended up way fatter than any of those women she shamed. Then after enduring years of mean comments about my weight, the shame went away and I brought home a bbw (around 300 lb). She never made a comment about her weight once - she's always too busy focusing it on me. Life hack.
