I'm going to say this isn't normal. That person was really shallow.
If you have gained weight, it doesn't necessarily mean you're not taking care of yourself, or a useless partner. In the last couple of years I have gained about the same amount of weight, due to taking anti-depressants to combat a traumatic emotional event I had a couple of years ago. I haven't been able to lose the weight since.
BUT I eat very well, and certainly don't consume enough calories in the day to warrant the extra weight I'm carrying. This may not relate to the story, but is just an example of how life can change, you can put on weight, and it isn't a measure of how healthy you are, or how well you look after yourself and your partner.
Is it normal for her to break up with her boyfriend over this?
