Wife Leaves Husband Stranded In A Train Station After He “Fat-Shames” Her But The Internet Sides With Him

ADVERTISEMENT

A confused 25-year-old guy turned to the AITA community on Reddit for a moral judgement regarding the incident he had with his 23-year-old wife. The author explained that he is into fitness and cares about his health a lot, while his wife is “very overweight.”

“I don’t mind, I have encouraged her in the past to try to be healthier, but she told me to stop and I respected her wishes,” the guy explained.

One day, to celebrate their anniversary, the couple decided to go out for dinner at a fancy restaurant. While waiting for a train, the author ran into a female friend from the gym. “We talked about what diets we were using, what our workout plans were,” the author recounted.

This, however, didn’t sit well with his wife, to say the least. She said she was going to the bathroom, but was nowhere to be found.

Maybe he doesn't tell something, but I can easily see that she listened to the conversation that didn't concern her at all and took it personally. When a person is insecure about something - it's not uncommon for them to assume that everybody is out to pick on them. Like you can hear two strangers laughing and immediately think they are laughing at you.

Right--it coukd seem as if they were not acknowledging her presence, since it's common courtesy to have a conversation where all of you can be talking

Somehow I think he's leaving something out of the story.

Entirely possible. My own theory, though, is that what he's leaving out is something he's completely unaware of: I bet his wife was already jealous and nervous that he had a female gym buddy. Wouldn't it fit much better with her behaviour if she thought the friend was trying to steal him away, and in that case presumably brought up diet and fitness in front of her on purpose?

Insecurities aside, I don't get him, when I am on a date night, especially one designated as a special event, I try to keep to topics all can enjoy, or cut the conversation short so I can get back to my date. He could have talked shop with his friend another time.

Agree She was expecting a nice anniversary celebration night with her husband and got stuck as a third wheel in the conversation of her husband and husband friend
