I’m Marrying A Woman Twice My Size – People Say I’m Not Man Enough For Her

A SIZE 22 care worker who gave up on relationships after ex-boyfriends told her to diet or be dumped found love with a man half her size – and now they’ve had a baby.

Brittany Jacques, 24, struggled with her self confidence after previous partners put pressure on her to lose weight from her 18st physique which had initially attracted them to her.

But after almost giving up on love, the singleton from Ontario, Canada, met personal trainer, Matt Montgomery, 24, on Facebook in August 2020 and hit it off straight away.

Now the couple are engaged and say it was love at first sight – even though they’re regularly taunted for their 8st 5lbs weight difference online.

And it’s been revealed they’ve had a baby. Brittany shared the news on her social media pages, writing “She’s a mom now” and posting pictures of her pregnant bump and a baby.

Previously she said: “We had both almost given up on dating when we started talking.

“We hit it off right away from the moment we met.

“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.

“But then I realised that if I did that I wouldn’t love myself anymore and I would be changing myself for someone else’s perception of beauty.

“I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to find someone who really loved me for who I am but after meeting Matt I couldn’t be happier.”

Instantly attracted to Brit’s self-confidence and body positive message, Matt revealed that his previous relationships with skinnier women had been littered with problems because of their body insecurities.

At a candlelit snow covered scene in the countryside near their home, 10st Matt popped the question to Brit on January 30.

He said: “I’ve been in previous relationships with skinny girls and they’ve not been happy in themselves at all.

“When I met Britt she was so confident in her own body, I loved that about her, she doesn’t want to change anything and I would never ask her to.

“I love food as well so that’s a plus I’m not worried about tracking her calories or dieting, I just want her to eat what she wants and be happy.”

But despite their perfect relationship, the couple do face negativity from online trolls who suggest that they shouldn’t be together.

Matt said: “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street but most of the comments we have had have been online.

“People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her.”

But the couple have dismissed suggestions that they can’t love each other because of their size difference and insist they want to see more mixed weight relationships normalised.

Brit said: “I wish mixed weight relationships were more common and more in the norm.

“There’s definitely this misconception that a fat person and a skinny person can’t be properly intimate or do things like start a family but we’ve never had any issues.
