writes:I am about 132 and 5'7 3/4". My husband keeps saying that I am fat. Are there any circumstances under which, or cultures in which this would be considered fat? Are there any guys here that consider this proportion too fat for their taste? Reply to this Question

 Jeez, what an ass.
At my lowest weight I was 154, and 5ft5 and was wearing size 6 (US) clothes. Being under 10stone is closer to being underweight than overweight!

Your not fat; not at all!
Wow, your husband sounds like a jerk. No better way to show lover and affection for your wife then to call her fat. Not to mention, talk about shallow. I think you picked a spoiled apple.

 No, your BMI is 20.22, which puts you in the healthy range.

 Yes there are cultures in which you'd be considered a big girl but the USA is not one of them. I think that you are likely below average for your age group in the US. Of course it also has to do with build and muscle tone.
As the other posters have said it is is not really a great thing for your husband to be saying to you unless perhaps your were 101 lbs when you met.

 Turn round and say to him these exact words when he next calls you fat...
"Yeah, I may be fat... But you're ugly, and I can diet!"
Should take him down a few pegs, if all else fails the small penis comments should hurt the most :)

if I were you I'd give a cheap shot right back and talk about his dick being small. Might cause a problem but it'd knock him off his high horse.

Even so, there's no excuse for a man to call you fat, much less a man that you're married to.
