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.
