Would you break up with someone even if they were fit but their parents were not?

Maybe that's why Pat dumped me in college--my fat mom!
No, dude or dudette, that is not a reason to break up with someone you otherwise like. But, second the PP about paying attention to a person's parents' relationship with one another. That is where the real landmines lie. |

| Yes it's hard to change bad habits. |

| I only ever dated people who are genetically thin with little effort and have parents who are similar so this never came up. Yes, I would have considered breaking up with someone if they came from an obese family and they were the outlier due to tons of exercise and a strict diet. |

| No. But, I would breakup with someone who was worried about what you seem to be worried about. |

| Uh no. Since 70% of Americans are overweight it would limit your dating pool too severely. |

| Op, you could get hit by a bus ... get cancer .. lots of things could happen to you --- and not make you look very good. Some will be beyond your control. I get it, you're saying weight is within someone's control and important for their health. I think, however, you are showing how shallow you are by suggesting that there should be concern/shame because someone's parents are the way they are. |

| If you lived in the south east "fry" belt then there would be no one to date as all of the parents are overweight. |

Well Paris Hilton once stated that her boyfriends would all look over her Mother just to see how well Paris herself would age.
Lucky for her, Kathy Hilton is drop-dead gorgeous. Has nothing on her daughter. |

| Nope, but I would break up with you for being shallow. |

| I kind of did this. I was serious with a fit man, whose sisters and mother were all overweight or obese. I work very hard to stay fit and I figured if I ever had daughters, they might have to also. I just couldn’t get around the fact that the women in his family were fat, and my build wasn’t going to help. So it was one of a few factors that led to us breaking up. |

| These posts are getting ridiculous. Would you breakup with someone if they have bowel movements? |

| If I had known the impact my in-laws and DH's family would have on me and our life, I would not have married him. 100%. The only positive about the pandemic is that they can't visit. Wonderful. And we can't see them for a least a year (another country). Wonderful. |
