When we choose to shаrе our lives online, we open ourselves up to public scrutiny and judgment. This has been the case for Matt and Brittany Montgomery, a young couple who enjoy sharing photos of themselves together on social media. Their relationship has drawn negative reactions from some, but their response to criticism is a powerful reminder of the importance of standing firm in one’s beliefs.
Matt and Brittany’s story is a common one in many ways, yet remarkable because of the unique bond they shаrе. They met, fell in love, and quickly began building a life together. However, their relationship has a notable twist: Matt is significantly larger than Brittany.
Brittany has faced challenges throughout her life in feeling accepted. She grew up with overbearing parents who often left her feeling drained and inadequate. This lack of support led her to develop insecurities about her body. As a plus-size woman, Brittany encountered two types of men: those who wanted her to lose weight and those who fetishized her curves. These experiences left her disheartened and ready to give up on finding true love.
Fate, however, had different plans for her. In August 2020, Brittany met Matt Montgomery online. Despite their physical differences, their spirits connected deeply. Their love was strong and unwavering, and on January 30, 2022, Matt proposed to Brittany. They immediately began planning their future together.
The couple is at ease with each other, yet they are acutely aware of how outsiders perceive their relationship. Matt has spoken about the negative comments they receive on social media. “People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her,” he said. “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street.”
Despite the criticism, Matt and Brittany’s love for each other remains unshaken. Matt had previously struggled in relationships with women of “normal” size, but Brittany made him feel truly loved and appreciated. He is committed to making her happy and recently expressed his feelings openly: “You are worthy, you are deserving of infinite love every single day and more. The way I look at you and feel for you and the way you look and feel for me is how I know that we are meant to be.”
In a powerful statement against their critics, Matt captions photos of himself and Brittany with some of the unpleasant comments others have left, highlighting the depth of their relationship and their love for one another. This public display serves as a great comeback against the naysayers and underscores their commitment to each other.
The Montgomerys are working to normalize relationships between people of different sizes. Brittany has expressed her desire for “mixed-weight relationships to be more common and more the norm.” Just last month, the couple announced they are expecting their second child, Lakelyn, in September 2023. We wish them all the best in their growing family.
Finding real love and pursuing happiness should not be governed by rigid rules. We should all strive to embrace and love one another, regardless of societal expectations.
