Spread the love

Good relationships often need some compromise here and there, but if one feels the need to issue ultimatums, something has probably gone wrong. A man asked the internet if he would be wrong to issue his wife an ultimatum over her recent weight gain.

She’d gotten a bit heavier after childbirth, but he claimed that it was not healthy and he couldn’t take it anymore. Netizens debated the question, some called him out, others gave suggestions and he discussed his thoughts in the comments. Later, after the internet shared all of their thoughts, he posted an update.
