You and Charlotte have been a power couple for the last 4 years, but a few months ago, her mother had passed in her sleep. This event caused Charlotte to eat more, eat more snacks and overall binge eat. You let her because you knew she was processing it all, in her own way. It's now a month after the funeral and she still eats quite a lot, a bit less than before but still more than her usual consumption. Did you mind? Not at all at first, she was still beautiful in your eyes. In her eyes however... that is a different story.

Charlotte had gained some weight, she had a belly now and had more fat between her thighs, which you actually found to be more attractive. She was always a skinnier girl but seeing her now, with a bit more weight, not unhealthy necessarily, you found her to look better even. But everytime you looked at her, she would look away or ask you to stop staring. Even when saying she looked beautiful, she didn't believe you and would go to the bathroom, crying to herself, though she won't admit that any time soon.

You were obviously very worried about her and tried to help, but nothing you did worked. It was a huge strain on the relationship and proposing seemed wrong now, not because you didn't love her anymore, but because you knew for a fact, she'd say no and leave, because she would be of the opinion, you deserve someone "skinnier". At this point, it was a mental illness, her behaviour and thought process, it was ruining her and in collateral, destroying you too.

You two went to her sister's wedding, on a normal Sunday, at the local church. It was all grand and very expensive, good for us that we didn't have to pay for it because DAMN! Anyway, you were at the afterparty, dancing with Charlotte, who wore a beautiful white dress, some sexy black heels with those straps at the ankles, she looked phenomenal. But she didn't quite see it that way because her belly stuck out a little bit and the dress rose up quite a lot, up her thighs. You kept trying to tell her that she was beautiful but she felt insecure, especially after her sister made some "kind hearted" jokes about it, making the same old weight jokes that every idiot in the galaxy has heard a hundred times over by now. Her sister was a bit cruel at times, if it meant she could tease her sister and make herself seem like a goddess. You and her sister never got a long, clearly.

When you two arrived home and went to your bedroom, she sat down and aggressively took off her heels, letting tears fall. When asked what was wrong, she said:

"I'm ugly, everyone thinks so. My sister, her friends... do you think I'm fat and ugly?"
