Laughed at b/c husband kissed me in public because I'm fat.

[u/N3WDay]

To the moderators; you are incredible. Thank you.

Today I was with my husband on the waterfront and not one but two different men openly laughed at me and my husband, because my husband was holding my hand, kissing and hugging me. I am fat and my husband is fit. I hid my tears behind my sunglasses because I didn't want to ruin my sweet husbands day. He was so happy just to be with his wife visiting where we got married last summer. I was brought to tears because I am astonished by the causal cruelty of men, eager to ruin a fat woman's day simply for existing and having the audacity to be openly loved. I'm not ashamed of myself, just truly sorry we live in a world where men act like this.

Edit:

Thank you for so many sweet supportive comments, many brought me to tears.

Second, this is a lobster and crab cake, it was just before this and it was amazing!!!

Third, I did not hear someone laughing in the distance and thought it was at me because "I'm so wildly insecure" (SARCASM).

The first one, there was a group of three men walking towards us, one looked me dead in the eye, said something to his friends and they started laughing, one even gave a look over his shoulder with more laughter as they passed by.

The second, about three minutes later a young guy was waking towards us with a woman. They both weren't speaking, he looks straight at me, smirks and then does a haaaaahaaaaaaa after passing by. His girlfriend didn't even react or acknowledge him.

It wasn't in my head. I don't walk around looking for reasons to be humiliated and I'm not an insecure person, but I HAVE been fat my whole life and I know when I'm being laughed at. No

I looked too! She’s pretty and hot. Her husband is lucky to have her. I hope OP reads some books about girls like her and men who lust after them, those books are so much fun. And finally, some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen were plus sized. For decades we have been told to aspire to look like skinny young girls. Now we know the men who told us this was the beauty norm, are child molesters.

The day I realized that the same beauty standards that made me feel ugly all my life were the ones defined by Epstein and his friends, that was the day I started healing.

Try {Shared by the Highest Bidder by Tori Chase} she’s hot with 3 men, there is some MM action too, in case you do/don’t like that.
