When I was little my father would always yell at my mother and tell her she was fat, and make her cry. He told her a fat wife was grounds for divorce. If we ever snacked or ate cookies, he would say "Be careful, you don't want to get fat".
Until I was in my 30's and looking at my friend's wedding albums, I honestly thought only thin people got married.
