A plus-size woman is rejected by her fiancé’s parents as they want him to marry someone slim and attractive. Soon after, they regret their decision and beg her to marry their son. But it’s too late by then.

Ben met Stephanie in college and fell in love with her. While she didn’t have the hourglass figure or the most stunning looks of the other girls, she was the most beautiful in his eyes and he adored her.

Stephanie, too, was head over heels for him, and when he proposed marriage to her two months after their courtship, she happily nodded yes. Ben then decided to introduce Stephanie to his parents and invited her home to dinner. But his parents, Stella and Richard, frowned when they saw a plus-size woman entering their house with their son.

“Ben,” Stella whispered as Stephanie entered and settled on the living room couch. “Is she the girl’s mother?”

“What?” Ben raised a brow. “Mom, what are you even saying? That’s mean! She IS Stephanie, the girl I wanted to introduce to you and dad…”

“SHE’S TOO BIG, Ben! And that makes her look too old for her age,” Stella told him firmly. “Are you really expecting us to accept her as our daughter-in-law?”

“Mom!” Ben shot back. “You don’t even know her well! How can you just pass judgment on her like that? Please stop this!” he muttered angrily as he walked away.

Stella and Richard were excited to see their son’s fiancée, but they hadn’t anticipated anything like this. Their perceptions of his choice were radically different. In fact, they expected a slim and attractive woman, not a couch potato!

While eating dinner, Stella stared at Stephanie as she took another serving of spaghetti and reached for the next slice of garlic bread. Stella and Richard exchanged anxious glances, and after a while, Stella spoke up.

“Ben,” she said, setting her fork beside her plate. “THIS MUST STOP…”

Ben paused eating and stared at her, perplexed. “What’s the matter, Mom?”

“You and this girl … We don’t approve of your relationship!” Stella declared. “We don’t mind if you stay friends, but your father and I cannot tolerate this!”

“You’re wasting your time here, Mr. and Mrs. Miller.”

Stephanie stopped eating and was as surprised as Ben. “Did I do something wrong, Mrs. Miller? Ben and I love each other, and….”

“Excuse me?!” Stella pushed her chair back and sprang to her feet. “Who gave you the right to interrupt my conversation with my son?”

Stephanie’s eyes welled up. “I didn’t mean to. I – I am sorry….”

“Sorry?” Stella glared at her. “Your apologies will not solve anything! Do you want to know why I’m so pissed? Well, that’s because you’re TOO BIG and you’ll explode someday if you keep eating like that! Don’t you think you’re more into food than my son!” she yelled at Stephanie, whose tears didn’t stop. But Stella wasn’t done yet.

“You know what, let’s get right to it, shall we? I don’t want you in his life. Do you understand? LEAVE HIM ALONE!”

At this point, Ben lost his cool. “Mom! That’s downright mean! Stop insulting her like that!”

“Shut up, Ben!” his father intervened. “Don’t cross your mother in front of nobody! Have you forgotten your manners?

Ben couldn’t believe the way his parents were behaving. Stephanie, on the other hand, couldn’t hold back her tears and abruptly left. “I’m sorry, Ben,” she told him before leaving. “I had no idea you called me for this! Thanks for INSULTING me like this!”

As Stephanie left, Ben was furious. “Are you two completely insane? What did you guys just do?”

Ben told his parents he loved Stephanie and wanted to marry ONLY her, but they refused to listen. In fact, because he was still financially dependent on them, they threatened to cut him off financially if he married Stephanie. In the end, Ben was forced to break up with Stephanie despite his willingness to marry her.

Stephanie was in tears when he told her it was over between them. “Ben!” she begged him, teary-eyed. “Don’t do it…We can figure it out. We can do something…”

“I’m sorry, Steph,” he said. “I hope you will forgive me someday…”

After his breakup with Stephanie, Ben’s parents introduce him to their family friend’s daughter, Mia. She was everything Ben’s parents hoped for in their future daughter-in-law: slender, pretty, and stunning. Stella and Richard thought it was an excellent way to divert his attention away from FAT Stephanie.

But Mia was nothing like Stephanie. She was cold, self-centered, and arrogant. Ben hated her and eventually ended things with her. When his parents found out, they began yelling at him. But Ben had enough.

“Enough, guys!” he shouted. “You are literally controlling my life! Like, I can’t even breathe without your consent! It would have been better if you just threw me out…” he grumbled and walked away, slamming his bedroom door behind him.

From that day on, Ben began to keep his distance from Richard and Stella, and he rarely spoke to them. Moreover, he appeared agitated all of the time.

Richard and Stella finally recognized that they were driving their son away from them, which made them feel awful. So they decided to make up for their mistakes and went to see Stephanie. Little did they know what awaited them…

Stephanie was perplexed when she heard the doorbell ring that morning because she was not expecting any visitors. What surprised her more was Ben’s parents on her porch. “Mr. and Mrs. Miller? What are you doing here?”

Richard and Stella exchanged an awkward look. “We apologize for what happened the last time,” Stella said. “We now understand that Ben would never love someone as much as he loves you. Please forgive us and marry him. We beg you….”

But Stephanie refused. “I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, but I’m not going back to Ben. If he truly loved me, he would have fought for me instead of backing off…”

“But darling…”

“You’re wasting your time here, Mr. and Mrs. Miller,” she cut them off. “Sorry, but I now have someone in my life…”

Richard and Stella noticed a young man preparing breakfast as Stephanie opened her door further. “Tom and I have been together for some time, and we are happy,” Stephanie revealed. “Even more, he and his parents love me for who I am. So please, don’t ever bother me again….”

With that, Stephanie slammed the door shut. Ben’s parents understood they were to blame for their son’s misery, but there was little they could do about it.

A woman who can afford to buy only one meal for her three children bursts into tears when one of them says she’s still hungry after eating. Not knowing what to do, the woman can’t stop crying until a stranger steps in to help her.

Anna Morrison was a single mother raising her three children, Joseph, Catherine, and Tom, on her own after her husband died two years ago. Unfortunately, Anna didn’t make a huge living as a tailor, so she and her kids had to make do with the little money they had.

That year, before Tom’s 10th birthday, Anna managed to save some money. She knew it wasn’t a lot, but she could at least treat her children to one proper meal on the special day.

So on Tom’s birthday, Anna took her children to a local cafe. But the prices at the eatery made her brow furrow, and after she read through the entire menu, she realized she could only afford one dish.

The waitress had already brought them water and was waiting for their order at this point, and Anna was too shy to leave the cafe and go somewhere cheaper, so she decided to buy something within her budget.

Finally, she settled on a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, thinking it would suffice them. However, when the dinner arrived, Tom began to complain. “Mom!” he cried. “It’s my birthday today! One dish isn’t enough for the four of us! And I want a drink with my food!”

As she finished her food, Catherine hugged her tummy and said, “Mommy, I’m still hungry. Can we get something else, please?”

“Yes, mom!” Tom added. “How about a cake? We can’t celebrate a birthday without a cake! Please, please, mom! I’ll wash my hands and be right back! Then we can order it!” With that, Tom dashed to the washroom, and Catherine and Joseph followed him.

As the children left, Anna was reduced to tears. “How do I even tell them I don’t have any money on me? Oh, I’m an awful mother,” she slurred between tears.

Suddenly, she felt a warm hand on her shoulders.
