The problem is, although I never see her overeat, she has continued to gain weight throughout our relationship. I'm caught between belief we could make it and disappointment that she has not been able to tackle the situation. Shamed if you do, shamed if you don’t, by a culture too warped to allow all kinds to exist in peace. Weight and health and attraction are legitimately complicated, each unto themselves, even without society’s thumb on the scale. ●If you can’t disentangle others’ opinions from your own feelings, then that’s not about anyone’s weight.
