I (20F) have a best friend we’ll call her Layla (19F) and we are all in college together. Layla started having a new boyfriend named Leo (20F). It shocked me because Leo is very muscular and athletic, but Layla is chubby and pudgy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I’m surprised. Meanwhile I want to be a model, so I’m thin and fit and maintain a strict regimen. I was a bit jealous of Layla for having someone like Leo with no effort, but I tried to ignore it.
I’ve started theorizing that Leo is dating her out of pity. Because anytime Layla complains about not being beautiful, Leo always says that she’s “thick” and “curvy” when she isn’t. Layla is just chubby, no curves nor a “thick” body. Just chub. Leo would also always invite Layla to work out with him since it’s a hobby of his and Layla has been interested in it. Im starting to think that Leo wants Layla to just lose weight.
I started texting Leo telling him not to pity Layla nor force her to lose weight. He didn’t respond but told Layla everything and she texted me asking if I really think this little of her and our friendship. Of course I don’t, I want to protect my friend. AITA?
