Did I read that right? Did this man just put aside his girlfriend's safety so he doesn't get a little wet from the rain? Imagine if everyone stayed in lockdown every time we had a little rain outside. The whole economy would stop.

A man should never have a say over a woman's body. This doesn't mean that he can't have preferences, but you get what you get. He shouldn't feel the need to change a woman by shaming her into fitting his mold.

There is a reason the authors of movies and novels make so much money. They provide us with an escape to a fantasy land where romance thrives and love conquers all.

No one wants to feel hidden. Your partner should feel so proud of being the one who gets to have you that they want to show you off to the world.

So let me get this straight. Instead of thanking this woman for taking the time to cook him a hot meal, he expressed his concerns about her weight? It sounds like he was simply projecting his own insecurities. I hope he went home and ate raw broccoli for dinner.
