When we put our lives online for the world to see, we leave ourselves vulnerable to judgment.
People have reacted negatively to this young pair since they enjoy sharing photos of themselves with one another online.
Their response to the criticism, however, is clever and serves as a sobering lesson of the value of standing firm in one’s convictions.
Matt and Brittany Montgomery’s tale is one of those that happens all the time yet is nonetheless great because of the people involved.
The two people found one other, fell in love, and immediately began building a life together.
The couple’s narrative may sound familiar, but there is a twist: the man is far larger than the woman.
Brittany has struggled all her life to feel like she belongs. She did not feel safe with her overbearing parents, and she often came away from their conversations feeling depleted.
Because of this, she began to dislike her physique and feel inadequate about herself.
As a plus-size woman, she encountered two types of men: those who wanted her to lose weight and those who found her curves sexually alluring.
Because of her dismal luck in relationships, she considered ending her search for love completely.
But destiny had other plans for her! She met Matt Montgomery online in August of 2020. Their bodies couldn’t have been more unlike, but their spirits were bound as never before.
Brittany reflected, “I was a bit hesitant at first. I’ve been in relationships where guys have told me that they will dump me if I don’t start dieting or trying to lose weight. It did affect my self-confidence, and at one point, I did start working out and trying to change my size.”
However, they were confident in their love for one another. After Matt’s proposal on January 30, 2022, the couple immediately began making plans for their future.
They are completely at ease with one another, but they discussed the outsider’s perception of their relationship.
When asked about the comments on his Instagram post, Matt said, “People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her.” He added, “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street…”
They have nothing but love for one another, and it doesn’t matter how many people criticize their relationship because they don’t get it.
Matt’s previous interactions with ladies of “normal” size have not gone well.
The way Brittany makes him feel led Matt to the conclusion that she is indeed his soulmate. He loves her for who she is and works hard to ensure her satisfaction.
Not one to hold back from showing his affection for her, he recently said, “You are worthy, you are deserving of infinite love every single day and more. The way I look at you and feel for you and the way you look and feel for me is how I know that we are meant to be.”
He captions the photo of him and his wife with the unpleasant comments others have left on other couples’ photos, proving his love for his spouse and the depth of their relationship beyond what meets the eye. What a great comeback against the naysayers!
The pair is working to normalize relationships between people of different sizes. She expressed a hope that “mixed-weight relationships were more common and more the norm,” saying, “I wish they were.”
It was just last month that the young couple announced they are expecting their second child, Lakelyn, in September 2023. We hope the best for them.
Finding real love and doing what makes you happy are not subject to any hard and fast rules.
No matter what, we should all find ways to embrace and love one another.
