READ: Humans of New York Man Upset About Overweight Girlfriend

New Yorkers pride themselves on being a part of a city that's full of resilient, influential, and brave individuals. The Facebook page "Humans of New York" strives to celebrate Gotham's diverse inhabitants through their stories and photographs.


Unfortunately, not everyone featured is fit for commendation.

A cowardly New Yorker shared his dilemma online, admitting that he can't get past the fact that his girlfriend is overweight. 

“At first I told myself I could get past it. I said, ‘Let’s just see how it goes," began this particular New Yorker, whose photo was cropped in a way to shield him from public scrutiny.

 

"We had excellent dates. Everything else about her was exactly what I wanted. I didn’t want to ruin something good for that one little reason. But it’s been 1.5 years. And I feel horrible, but I just can’t get past it."

"And I feel like a bad person for being bothered by it. I can’t bring myself to tell her. We’re going to couple’s therapy next week, but I still don’t think I’ll be able to say it. Is there any right way to ask."
 

Efforts to elicit sympathy for this man's predicament didn't go as planned. Reactions were mixed, but mostly unfavorable.

Facebook comments flooded the post, bashing the conflicted boyfriend.

 

"No. You are the one with the problem, not her," wrote one person on Facebook. "Do her a favour and end it." 

"If you're concerned about her health, approach it from that angle," proposed another. But added, "If you're concerned about her appearance, you should probably just stay single." 

Another wrote, "Break up with her now. Don't wait. She deserves someone who loves all of her, and you need to be with someone your type. The only shame is in waiting. Do it now."

One commenter put herself in the girlfriend's position, explaining how she would hope her loved one would directly ask her the dreaded question.

"If I was so overweight that it was impacting my health I’d HOPE my spouse would ask me to lose weight. Being overweight is expensive. I see so many people paying for medication they don’t even need if they’d exercise. Not all people can lose it as easy as others, but just blatantly not taking care of yourself, in my opinion, is disrespecting your spouse."
 

What about her feelings?

 

Maybe it's time to move along.

 

Not everyone could offer the correct response. So this user made fun of the guy instead.

Some defended the boyfriend, expressing that he shouldn't be criticized for wanting his girlfriend to look more attractive.

The main consensus leaned towards honesty as the best solution to any relationship problems.

If New Yorkers are known for their straightforwardness, this guy had better step it up. Especially if he loves her as he claims.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
