Fat shamed

I am 5”8, a size 8. Weight unsure and have been told by my ex I am overweight by a lot. How? I’m not. I’m v slim and never had anyone say this. It’s really hurt me. Loads. 😢

Because your ex is a prick who wants to make you feel bad. Simple.

Stripeyanddotty · 24/06/2025 20:59

Presumably he’s an ex for a reason?

Gingercar · 24/06/2025 21:00

You know you’re not and he’s just trying to hurt you. Don’t let him. Just laugh at him.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/06/2025 21:01

Your ex is rightfully an ex. What a knob.

With those stats, you’re a whippet (not that it matters, anyway).

Chickenhorse · 24/06/2025 21:01

Sounds to me like you have lost about 12 stone of w*ker. You should be very proud of yourself. Don’t listen to him he is not worth the headspace.

Sassybooklover · 24/06/2025 21:01

At 5ft 8 and a size 8, you are most definitely not fat. Your ex is a dick, and he said it to make you question yourself, feel bad about yourself and to hurt you.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/06/2025 21:01

Hope you’ve replied telling him about his teeny, weeny little prick?

Comedycook · 24/06/2025 21:02

Hes knows you're not fat...he's just trying to get under you skin

BodenCardiganNot · 24/06/2025 21:03

Is this the ex who attacked you two weeks ago? While you are pregnant?

ShoutOutLucile · 24/06/2025 21:03

He’s said it because he knows it will hurt you. Which it has.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 24/06/2025 21:04

My ex used to say this. Thought it would upset me but it entrenched what a nasty insecure twat he was.

Ohmeohmyohdear · 24/06/2025 21:39

Honestly OP it sounds like because he can no longer hurt you physically he is trying to continue hurting you mentally.

You know yourself you aren't fat. Believe yourself and don't listen to him.

ShesTheAlbatross · 24/06/2025 21:47

You’ve said yourself you’re slim, so you know he’s not telling the truth. He’s an ex saying something that he presumably knows is maybe an area that will hurt you - if he knew you were insecure about (for example) the size of your nose, he’d have said something about that instead.

Stripeyanddotty · 24/06/2025 22:21

So are you pregnant? Based on what a pp has said? Was he physically abusing you?

Lissybel · 24/06/2025 22:46

Yes not far along. He’s showing his true colours as the clown he always was. All horrible and disgusting

OP posts:
Stripeyanddotty · 24/06/2025 22:58

Have you reported him for the assault?

JohnTheRevelator · 24/06/2025 23:07

How can you be overweight if you're a size 8? That is tiny.

TinyTempest · 24/06/2025 23:11

I'm not sure what you expect us to say OP?

You say you're 5”8. Would it hurt you loads if he said you were only 5"1?

Because a lie is just a lie so it's not worth thinking about.

More to the point, why are you still in any kind of contact with this violent, abusive piece of shit?

Lissybel · 24/06/2025 23:33

I did report him and the police are taking a statement this week. I suppose I’m all over the show atm

OP posts:
Stripeyanddotty · 24/06/2025 23:34

Just block him.
’Fat shaming’ is the least of your worries.

Why haven't you blocked all avenues of contact?

Lissybel · 24/06/2025 23:54

He sent an email. Slipped my mind

Don't have this man's baby.
