Assuming your girlfriend is East Asian, as others have noted, it is cultural. It does not mean the same offense that you take it as. Try and study up a little bit and come to terms with the cultural gap. Try and get a better understand of their intentions rather than your reactions.

They call you fat to your face?

Seriously - I married an Asian man. My in-laws, including the super old folks and my mother-in-law, have all commented in front of the whole extended family whenever I gain weight. They've even said it about my sister in front of everyone, who they don't know at all. Like someone else said, sometimes it's a cultural thing and you just have to get over it.

That's cold it was straight to your face 🤔. You can either use it as motivation to be in shape this time next year or say the hell with them. As long as your GF loves you who cares?

OP, if all of your critics are overweight, the best thing to do is adjust your diet, get some great supplements, hit the gym, and get cut/swole. No better way to shut a hater up.

5'5 and 135 is NOT fat!! I know girls that are 5'5 and 140-145 and I would not consider them "fat." Sorry to hear that, OP :(

Oops sorry, thought you meant you were 5'5 and 135. Ignore my comment above. But still sorry to hear about your situation!

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap.
