When we share our lives online, we are inevitably subjected to criticism and preconceived judgements.
This is exactly what Matt and Brittany Montgomery, a young couple who proudly share their relationship on social media, are experiencing.
Their relationship has generated negative feedback, but their response to the criticism has been a powerful reminder of the importance of staying true to your beliefs.
Matt and Brittany’s story is ordinary in many ways, but notable because of the special bond they share.
They met, fell in love, and quickly began building a life together.
However, their relationship stands out in one way: Matt is significantly taller than Brittany.
Brittany has had a hard time feeling accepted her whole life.
She grew up with overprotective parents, which often left her feeling exhausted and insecure.
This lack of support led to her developing complexes about her body.
As a plus-size woman, Brittany dated two types of men: those who wanted her to lose weight and those who fetishised her shape.
These experiences drove her to despair and made her doubt her ability to find true love.
However, fate had it differently.
In August 2020, Brittany met Matt Montgomery online.
Despite their physical differences, their souls connected deeply.
Their love was strong and unwavering, and on 30 January 2022, Matt proposed to Brittany.
They immediately began planning their future together.
The couple feel comfortable with each other but are aware of how they are perceived by others.
Matt talked about the negative comments they receive on social media.
‘People post on Instagram and insinuate that I’m not tall enough or manly enough for her,’ he said.
‘I notice how people look at us when we walk down the street.’
Despite the criticism, the love between Matt and Brittany remains unchanged.
Matt has previously had difficulty in relationships with ‘normal’ sized women, but Brittany has made him feel truly loved and valued.
He is determined to make her happy and recently expressed his feelings openly, ‘You’re precious, you deserve endless love every day and more.
The way I look at you and how I feel about you, as well as how you look at me and feel about me, proves to me that we are made for each other.’
In a powerful statement against his critics, Matt posts photos with Brittany, accompanied by nasty comments left by others to emphasise the depth of their relationship and their love for each other.
This public gesture serves as a great response to doubters and emphasises their commitment to each other.
The Montgomery’s strive to normalise relationships between people of different complexions.
Brittany expressed her desire for ‘relationships between people of different weights to become more frequent and normal.’
Just a month ago, the couple announced that they are expecting their second child, Laqueline, in September 2023.
We wish them all the best for their growing family.
Finding true love and pursuing happiness shouldn’t be limited by rigid rules.
We should all strive to accept and love one another, regardless of societal expectations.
