"  Halloween&amp;#039;s over now, but here&amp;#039;s a relationship horror story that&amp;#039;ll scare the living crap out of you (via Daily Mail).   A 26-year-old Englishwoman named Cassie Payne was encouraged by her boyfriend, who said he preferred women with curves, to gain weight. She ended up gaining 98 lbs, moving from a Size 12 to Size 24, to please him. (First mistake: Doing anything different to your weight, whether it&amp;#039;s gaining or losing, in order to make a man happy.)   Her friends and family became worried for Cassie&amp;#039;s health as her weight increased, but she was too in love to care: &amp;quot;I knew I was obese but told myself that as long as my partner fancied me, what did it matter? We were happy so I didn&amp;#039;t need to worry what other people thought.&amp;quot;   But eventually Cassie discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her with eight other women \u2014 all of whom were slim. She confronted him, and he admitted that he wasn&amp;#039;t into heavier women anymore. &amp;quot;He might as well have slapped me in the face, I was gutted. I had spent the past four years eating everything, thinking that he adored my curvy body, when all the time he was slowly going off me.&amp;quot;   Fortunately, the story has a happy ending. Cassie&amp;#039;s back to a weight that she feels comfortable and confident about, and is actually the happiest she&amp;#039;s ever been \u2014 not to mention completely over that douche.   &amp;quot;He asked me if I fancied going out some time. Once I would have done anything to hear those words but I suddenly realised I just didn&amp;#039;t care anymore. I said &amp;#039;No thanks&amp;#039; and walked away. Knowing his eyes were on my size eight bum as I walked off was the best feeling in the world.&amp;quot;   Follow Anna on Twitter. Image via Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
