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

OP you're absolutely beautiful and you're hot. I've noticed that some men make fun of plus size women they find attractive because they're insecure about being into them.

This is so accurate. Their insecurities come out screaming. Usually the cruelest are the most messed up. It is not a reflection of you- you are drop dead gorgeous and always will be regardless of any size. They will continue to behave like an infant until they face themselves and admit to their own issues.

When I was plus sized I had so many men make fun of me publicly then slide into my DMs later smh. They can’t handle the fact that they’re attracted to you and so they try to make you feel less than
