I’m bigger than my husband, trolls assume I pay him money to be with me
A COUPLE have responded to nasty trolls who claim Terrance is only with Nikki for the money.
The US couple have been together for seven months now and in that time they have already faced hate from strangers.

The two were introduced by a mutual friend, but Nikki was afraid her best friend Kristin would set them up.
After seeing a photo of Terrance, she gave the go-ahead and the pair began texting and FaceTiming after Nikki made sure Kristin “warned” Terrance that she was plus size, in case he was put off by it.
But Nikki had no reason to fear her weight being used as a weapon, as it had been in previous toxic relationships. Terrance loves her just the way she is.
Terrance actually likes a bigger woman and says Nikki is his third mixed-weight relationship, he told Real.

Nikki added: “I’ve always dated smaller guys. As a plus-size girl, you often can’t really tell if they’re really into you or if they’re fetishizing you.
“So if I feel like you don’t actually like me, but just like my looks, that definitely puts me off dating someone.
“My size has stopped me from doing certain things in life, like amusement parks, rides, carnival rides. I think society in general is fatphobic, absolutely.”
And the cruel online trolls don’t stop with their bullying, with some even baffled that Nikki can be in a happy relationship because of her weight.
One wrote: “Is that the best he can get?”, while another joked: “Perfect for a desperate man.”
“I remember one comment saying he’s with her because she pays the bills, or someone called me a bum or something,” Terrance added.
Despite the negative reactions, Nikki says that many plus-size women have thanked her for sharing her life and style online, as it has also given them more confidence in their figures.
The video posted on Truly’s YouTube account has gone viral with over 17,000 views,
People were quick to respond and share their thoughts in the comments, with many supporting the happy couple.
Someone wrote: “Society is horrible to overweight people. People treat them like they are not human, it’s so sad.”
