NTA. Concerned about partner’s unhealthy eating habits and future implications

> Yesterday he came home with 3 McChickens, 2 McDoubles, a large fry, a large drink and a 30 count chicken nugget, all for himself. What the f**k. That’s way too much for one day if you’re a sedentary dude let alone one meal. Said that it was my duty to accept him the way he was and that if the roles were reversed he would be expected to love me regardless of my weight. You can love someone and want them to put an effort into staying healthy. Those aren’t mutually exclusive. I start getting texts and FB messages from his brother and few close buddies telling me I was basically scum of the earth for “destroying his confidence” and “calling him out on his weight like that” If these “friends” think it’s better to just sit idly by and watch your BF eat himself to an early grave then they’re just s****y friends.

“NTA This makes me think of the cliche of ‘If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.’ And the follow up to that is ‘Then maybe you should stop being so sh*tty.’ It’s one thing to support your SO through hard times, health issues, etc. It’s another thing for them to force you to accept their awfulness. Sadly, he may need more than just therapy. If he’s that far gone with that much McDonalds, he needs a more forceful, professional intervention. A wake up call of a heart attack later is going to do nothing for him.”
