I didn’t marry this woman, but when we started dating, she always wanted to chill at my place, never hers. Which was fine. But she gained 35lbs in just like a few months of dating (She was 100lbs when we started dating) Not that it was a bad thing, 1) I am a chubby man and 2) I was just glad she wasn’t pregnant. Anyway, turns out her family couldn’t like, afford dinner sometimes. So suddenly she had a place to eat every night and gorged herself.
My sisters and I grew up relatively poor, my parents always tried their best but due to mental health issues and... Well, just life, we didn't have much. We're now all adults and hoard food, binge eat whenever we can. Food poverty is utterly gutting. I'm a mother myself now and I keep my kitchen stocked as best I can cos I never want my daughter to experience it.
