Our intern Francesca’s brother told his girlfriend that if she gets fat, he’ll dump her. Is he right, or is he being the a-hole?

Here’s the full story from Francesca:

My brother told his girlfriend that if she ever gets fat or lives an unhealthy lifestyle, then he will leave her because that’s not who he agreed to be in a relationship with.

He is a personal trainer for fitness and health are very important to him. His girlfriend practices healthy habits now, but if she were to abandon those habits, that would mean that she is a different person than who he originally started dating and is not interested in.

She was offended, but he says it’s the same thing as having a preferred “type” that you’re attracted to. Is my brother valid in this thought, or is he an a-hole?
