Obese Woman Turns To Friend Asking To Switch B&B Rooms, Ends Up Sobbing Instead

Interview With Author

Going on a girls trip is one of the best ways women can bond with their friends. This might include spending a weekend at the beach gossiping and catching up or a couple of days at the spa to relax and unwind. These little getaways can create lifelong memories and allow friends to step away from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives for a few days.

But one woman’s upcoming trip with friends started going downhill before it even began, after a friend requested that they swap beds to accommodate her body. Below, you’ll find the full story that was posted on Reddit, as well as a conversation with the woman who shared this story and some of the replies readers left.

    Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about three years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

    I'm a bit iffy about the "YTA" comment that said "YTA - She started crying and you still wouldn't do it?" Sooooooo........ regardless of my situation/weight/etc., I should just start crying if I don't like something and if everyone doesn't change everything IMMEDIATELY to accommodate me, they're the a-holes?

    I was going to comment the same. Crying does not do anything but manipulate IMHO.

    OP actually sounds pretty mature in her edits. She knows she lacks empathy and is asking for help judging the situation. And is willing to consider that maybe she didn’t understand her friend’s motivations to switch beds.

    Yeah I agree. Reddit is quick to judge right vs wrong rather than look at nuances, but she went looking for them despite all the NTAs. It says she did swap beds - I think that was the right call, she certainly didn't have to but it showed consideration.

    As a morbidly obese person, I don't know if I could fit in a twin. I can fit in a hospital bed, but they're wider. This woman doesn't sound like she's morbidly obese, just overweight. The chances are that she could have fit. If not, she should have said so before the drawing. I daresay that if she just couldn't fit, the others probably would have "given" her one of the queens, had she explained that she just couldn't fit in a twin. She chose not to speak up, and to try to manipulate OP. OP is NTA.

    Yes I don't understand why she didn't say something in the beginning? Is it really that embarrassing to say "Hey guy I don't think I'm gonna be comfortable in a twin bed. I'm willing to pay extra to switch with someone if I don't get a queen."
