When you start a new diet, there are several expectations that people have with it. Some of them are losing weight and achieving a healthy lifestyle. But what if we told you that losing weight because of dieting has actually disintegrated a woman’s marriage of 17 years?
No, we are not kidding. A woman shared her heartbreaking story on Reddit in which she talked about how the quest for a healthy lifestyle and losing weight ultimately resulted in the demise of her marriage.
The Reddit user wrote, “I'm wondering if anyone has experienced losing your marriage cause of weight loss?”
Although the post has now been deleted, it still attracted a bevy of Reddit users, all in the support of the said woman.
Here’s at the look at what the post said :
According to the user, Bertiebugg, she had lost quite a lot of weight while being on the Keto diet, but she hadn’t really hit the “small” size. She had lost around 23 kilos ( 50 pounds) and this is what irked her husband, according to her. Not only his husband complained that she no longer had a beautiful butt, but he also had a problem with her sagging skin.
If you cannot believe that something like this can really happen, you are not alone. If someone cannot really stand up in your support when you are doing well in life, they most likely do not deserve to have a place there.
Instead of being proud of her weight loss journey, her husband took this as an opportunity to make her feel bad about her own body.
Thankfully, the Reddit users stood up in the support of the lady and lashed out at the husband, calling him an insecure person who did not deserve the woman. He is most likely to be suffering from insecurity issues and sadly, instead of dealing with them like an adult, he chose to blame her wife.
What should you do?
Should you ever find yourself in any of the sides of this dynamic, we suggest having a one on one interaction with your partner, instead of freaking out. Dealing with things in a calmer manner is always known to give better results.
The bottom line
Ultimately, if your partner is uncomfortable and unhappy with the positive changes in your body, we guess it is time to reevaluate your whole relationship. Do you really want someone who is unhappy with your happiness in your life?
