This husband’s open love letter to his wife’s curves has us in tears
Husband of the Year award, we have found you a major contender.
Robbie Tripp is an activist and author, and happens to be married to sensational lifestyle blogger Sarah Tripp, better known by her Instagram moniker Sassy Red Lipstick.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a completely touching open letter about his love of his wife's curves.
'I love this woman and her curvy body. As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as "chubby" or even "fat,"' he began the post.
'Then, as I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalises women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean) I realised how many men have bought into that lie.'
'For me, there is nothing sexier than this woman right here: thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll, etc.'
'Her shape and size won't be the one featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan but it's the one featured in my life and in my heart. There's nothing sexier to me than a woman who is both curvy and confident; this gorgeous girl I married fills out every inch of her jeans and is still the most beautiful one in the room.'
'Guys, rethink what society has told you that you should desire. A real woman is not a porn star or a bikini mannequin or a movie character.'
Tugging at the heartstrings of a nation even further, Robbie goes on to remind women that they absolutely do not need to conform to stringent societal beauty ideals in order to find the love of their lives.
'She's real. She has beautiful stretch marks on her hips and cute little dimples on her booty. Girls, don't ever fool yourself by thinking you have to fit a certain mold to be loved and appreciated.'
'There is a guy out there who is going to celebrate you for exactly who you are, someone who will love you like I love my Sarah.'
No we're not crying, you are.
Robbie posted another snap to his Instagram, gushing about the positive attention his post has received.
'It's been incredible to see the reaction from my simple post celebrating my wife and her body. So much positivity and love have come from it,' he said.
As well as being partner goals, Robbie has seriously reminded us that beauty standards are purely dictatorial, and that real beauty is subjective.
