Hey, hi.

If your partner is fat and your furniture keeps breaking, it might not be pleasant for you to hear that your furniture is "flimsy garbage" or whatever...but it *probably is*

Thin people really do not understand either how incredibly flimsy most of their furniture is *or* how fucking embarrassing it is to break something just in using it.

Is it probably more polite to say you're sorry? Sure, I guess. But ALSO the furniture is definitely flimsy garbage

And like. If your partner broke your flimsy garbage furniture by existing while fat and you could use some assistance in buying newer, less flimsy furniture...maybe use your fucking words

If I had an advice column basically all I would ever say is "use your fucking words"

A while ago C and I stayed somewhere definitely designed/furnished by thin people and as I was getting out of bed, a slat cracked. It was so embarrassing I cried for like, a while.

Ultimately, I didn't apologize to the homeowner. I just told them what was up.

BECAUSE I'M NOT FUCKING SORRY *YOU PICKED A BED THAT WOULD BREAK* if used by someone who is a size

For the record, this thread IS about Dear Prudence but isn't a slam against Danny, who is overall a lovely & thoughtful human.

Just...this is part of a whole spectrum of things thin people just never have to think about
