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.

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

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.

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

Dumbest post of the month.

By a mile.

Please do. That way your partner will be able,to,dodge the bullet that is being in a relationship with a head case.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Yes it's hard to change bad habits.

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.
