Ben fell in love with Stephanie in college, admiring her for her inner beauty rather than her plus-size figure. When he proposed, he eagerly introduced her to his parents, Stella and Richard. However, their disdain for her appearance was immediate. “Is she the girl’s mother?” Stella sneered, while Richard simply frowned at Stephanie.

During dinner, Stella harshly criticized Stephanie’s eating habits, declaring, “You’re too big for my son!” Despite Ben’s protests, his parents insisted he break off the relationship, threatening to cut him off financially if he didn’t comply. Heartbroken, Ben ended things with Stephanie, who begged him to reconsider.

In his parents’ eyes, a suitable replacement appeared in Mia, their family friend’s slender daughter. But Mia was cold and self-centered, leaving Ben disillusioned. He finally stood up to his parents, exclaiming, “You’re controlling my life!” He distanced himself from them, feeling trapped and frustrated.

Realizing their mistake, Stella and Richard sought out Stephanie, hoping for a chance to make amends. They found her at home and apologized, pleading for her to return to Ben. But Stephanie refused. “If he truly loved me, he would have fought for me,” she said, revealing she was now happily with someone named Tom who appreciated her for who she was.

As she closed the door, Ben’s parents were left to grapple with the consequences of their prejudice, understanding they had driven their son away forever.
