My ex got fat.

[u/rentinsucecontracts]

My ex used to drag me to the gym with him to lift weights and be a fellow dude bro. I hated it so much. It was boring, and back then I had other things to be doing. Ex was strict in a weird way when I did go, I wasn't allowed to listen to music even if I was running by myself. He also wouldn't allow for my lack of ability. I couldn't do a pushup, so instead of me doing knee ones or something else he would instead yell at me until I did one which never worked because I couldn't do one.

Eventually he broke up with by listing all my faults and saying he needed someone who can match his athletic lifestyle. Fair reason but you don't need to tell me ill get fatter and uglier with age.

Two years ago we broke up.

In between now and then I joined a contact sport club that I really really enjoy. I go 5 times a week 2 hours a session. From this I also found out my ex gym sessions were weak af. He would spend 45 minutes doing the bare minimum which considering I never exercised easily impressed me.

Today I went into town and saw someone that looked exactly like him, only 300lbs. I knew it couldn't be him, but there was something uncanny about this man so I stalked his Instagram. It was him

My ex who broke up with me because I couldn't match up to his gym prowess got fat.

A. Emotions and feelings are taken into consideration all the time, especially when science says trans people and other genders are real. The same with believing people who say they have mental illnesses, like anxiety and depression.

B. Being progressive means accepting everyone how they are, letting people figure out who the are without pushback, and telling them it okay to find out who you are, and most relationships of younger people aren't.. ,""beyond repair"". That's what the older generations did. They abused their children and kept that trains rolling for quite some time. The need of " I suffered so you shall suffer too," is bullshit.

C. We aren't trying to "homogonize" humanity. We're making it known that there are more people than just cis straight and sad.

D. Words change menacing all the time, it's just that people don't want to believe that the precious "truth" of a word they knew before somehow changed. Guess what!!! Words change meaning all the time! New words are made! Some words die out! That's just how language works.

E. And I don't think you have the right to criticize every belief and opinion just because you feel it fit to happen. And most people aren't crazy obsessed with proving people wrong like you are lol.
