Sarah and I discussed the idea of taking a weekend trip to Vegas in September. It would be our first real trip together since we started dating, and I’m excited about getting out of town with her.
She started talking about driving there, and I responded that it might be better to fly since it’s only a weekend and it would suck to lose so many hours of a short trip just driving back and forth.
Then she said that flying is tough for her because airlines require her to purchase two seats. I’d heard stories about that before, but had never given it much thought. She said she hadn’t flown in over a year because she was embarrassed the last time she was on a plane.
I apologized for suggesting it. It’s one more thing that I have to take into consideration in dating someone her size. I told her that I thought it was unfair of the airlines, because I thought that was a good sympathetic thing to say. She responded that she didn’t think so, and that she completely understands that she takes up more than one seat and should have to pay for it.
I feel like I’ve been making inappropriate comments all the time around her, and having to apologize, just because I don’t tend to think about the fact that fat people have it differently. We passed by a lingerie store not long ago and I commented about wanting to buy her some sexy lingerie and she replied that there was nothing in the store that would come close to fitting her.
We can’t go to movies, or ballgames, or certain restaurants because the seating doesn’t accommodate her size. So instead we spend a lot of time indoors having sex. I’m not complaining.
