Reddit Slams Man's Attempt to Control Wife's Weight for Travel.

A man posted on Reddit asking if he would be the asshole for imposing a diet on his wife if she wants to travel with him to Japan. He plans to teach ESL classes in Japan and wants to be accepted within their society. However, Redditors took issue with his plan for his wife, calling it controlling behavior. Many called out his uncomfortable choice of words when describing his "rare control of the situation." Fat-shaming is a legitimate issue, but it is no excuse to force your partner to lose weight so she can join you on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
