Husband Feels Embarrassed After He Sees His Wife In A Bikini, Scolds Her After

The body positivity movement has made great strides in recent years in terms of fighting fatphobia , but unfortunately, we’ve still got a long way to go before it’s eradicated. One 2019 survey found that a quarter of physicians say they’re not comfortable being friends with people in larger bodies, and 18% even admitted that they feel disgusted when treating patients with high BMIs.

And of course, these biases show up in romantic relationships as well. According to HuffPost , nearly 50% of men say they would leave their partner if they gained weight , while only 20% of women said the same. There’s also a bit of a double standard when it comes to weight in marriages, as one study found that both husbands and wives prefer when the wife has a lower BMI than her husband.

Regardless of whether or not they’re in a relationship, many women struggle with body image issues, as Harmony Hit reports that 79% deal with negative body image, and 43% admit that they dread swimsuit season. 57% of women say that they constantly compare their body to others during the summer, and 77% admit that they feel more self conscious during the summer time than the rest of the year.
