Sadly though, I know of a few who have partners who try to avoid being seen with them publicly, or hide gestures of affection in public which I know just eats away at their insecurities.
Not being willing to show some affection for your partner publicly is a gigantic red flag for me.
Makes sense with my experience. I think it just stems from insecurities, as most of this world's problems do. If a man is secure enough with his appearance and demeanor, he won't care about something a silly as that.
I have had that happen to many friends of mine and none of their stories ended well.
I've reached a point in my life (wow, I truly feel old now) where I don't want to carry around the burdens of people that refuse to acknowledge or take care of.
I will advise and help, if asked, but nothing else.
I am enjoying the fact that I referred to *myself* as "fat as hell" and you think "fatty" is some sort of insult that's going to land.
You're not a real thoughtful one, are ya?
What purpose does this sort of cruelty serve? Of all the things and people you could justifiably skewer for any number of reasons, you choose this person and their body?
This is crazy, it's like a Something Awful bit from 2005 come to life somehow. I didn't think people did this stuff anymore, it's kind of put me in a reminiscent mood
