The Original Post
I’ve been with my girlfriend since around September. Her body has changed a lot since then, and for awhile she was losing weight, but in December she started to gain weight again. She’s been claiming that the dryer keeps shrinking her clothes, and she’s in complete denial that she’s actually just gaining weight. I thought she was just making excuses to me about it, so I told her that it’s okay if she’s gaining weight and she doesn’t need to blame it on her clothes. This really set her off and she said I was calling her fat and now her and her whole group of friends think I’m an asshole when I was just trying to be supportive and leting her know I dont care what size she is
What Reddit Said
Redditors immediately questioned the boyfriend’s story. The top comment pointed out major red flags in his timeline. How could someone lose noticeable weight, then gain enough back to make clothes tight, all within six months?
Most users suspected this was a fake post designed to stir up drama. Others worried about potential serious health issues if the story was true. The consensus was clear: something doesn’t add up here.
The Verdict
Reddit’s overwhelming verdict: SHP (Shitpost). This girlfriend clothes shrinking weight gain story raised too many medical and logical concerns to be believable. Users called out the unrealistic timeline and dramatic body changes described. This appears to be classic relationship bait rather than genuine relationship advice seeking.
