A pregnant woman shared her experience of her aunt-in-law fat-shaming her, saying her husband must find her repulsive.
Raised by His Aunt
She began by saying, “My mother-in-law has a twin sister who helped raise my husband when he was a child. MIL had some pretty aggressive health issues and spent a large portion of my husband’s childhood in the hospital.”
No Children of Her Own
The aunt has no children of her own and sees herself as his second mom. The woman said, “My husband and I live in the same city as my aunt-in-law, but we purposefully avoid spending time with her because she’s rude and more than a little crazy.”
Asked to Visit Aunt
Her MIL called the couple and asked if they could visit the aunt because she had been feeling very lonely. She had been complaining that she never got to see her nephew anymore.
Tried to Be Nice
“I consider myself a pretty nice person, and I don’t like when people are sad or lonely,” the woman told readers. “So I agreed to give my aunt-in-law a call to see if she’d like to join my husband and me for dinner.”
Meet at Her Favorite Restaurant
The couple said they would meet the aunt at her favorite restaurant. “My first problem with AIL is how inconsiderate she is. The restaurant she picked is less than a ten-minute drive from her home but much further for us,” she said.
Showed up Late
Despite the close proximity of the restaurant to her home, the aunt was more than 40 minutes late. The woman recalled, “She didn’t answer a single one of our calls to check if she was okay. When she finally got there, she started to complain to us about her life.”
Not Ready to Order
Her aunt-in-law kept turning the waiter away because she wasn’t ready to order. By that point, the woman said she was starving and just wanted to order some food.
Ordered Fries
When the AIL was ready, and the waiter came by again to take their order, the woman said she was so hungry that she ordered fries as her side. The AIL gave her a look but didn’t say anything.
Fat Shaming
She said, “As soon as the waiter walked away, AIL asked if I really think fries are the best choice, commenting that I’ve gotten pretty chubby lately. Thankfully, my husband shut that down real quick and basically told her, if she’s going to say things like that, we will be taking our meals to go.”
Pregnant
She admitted, “She isn’t technically wrong. I have gained weight recently, but it’s because I’m pregnant, which she doesn’t know.”
Change of Subject
Her AIL quickly changed the subject and went back to complaining. When the food came out, the woman quickly grabbed a fry because of her pregnancy cravings. She said she was also starving because they should’ve eaten over an hour earlier.
A Stupid Comment
The woman recalled the disgusted look that AIL gave her again and how she just knew AIL was going to say something stupid. She wasn’t wrong.
Repulsive to Your Husband
The AIL said, “Your husband must be repulsed by you, eating and gaining weight like that.” She admitted that she has always been slightly chubby but not overweight.
Normal Weight Gain
She said, “According to my doctor, I have gained a completely normal and healthy amount of weight. My husband immediately flagged down the waiter and asked for the check and to-go boxes.”
Whining
AIL started to whine that it wasn’t fair for them to leave, and she was just stating the obvious. The woman’s husband lost his temper and told his aunt to apologize, which she refused to do.
Parting Words
She said, “As we were leaving, he told her not to contact us until she was ready to apologize. I was so grateful to my husband for standing up for me.”
Call From MIL
Her MIL ended up calling to yell at her, but once she got the whole story, she was on her son and daughter-in-law’s side. The AIL claimed they said a lot of mean things and treated her poorly.
Agreed to Them Avoiding Her
The MIL completely supports them. She also agreed that it’s probably best if they avoid her sister for a while.
Not Repulsive
She finished by saying, “It’s pretty obvious my husband doesn’t find me repulsive. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be pregnant with his baby.”
