This Topic Lit Up the Comments Section:

The community had thoughts — lots of them. From tough love to thoughtful advice, the comment section didn’t disappoint.

The central conflict revolves around the Original Poster's (OP) decision to withhold information regarding the medical cause of his significant height gain from his girlfriend.

While the OP believed the topic was irrelevant after the tumor was removed, the girlfriend views this omission as a form of dishonesty about his fundamental physical characteristics, especially concerning potential future children.

Is the OP justified in withholding details about a resolved medical issue that altered his natural height trajectory, or was the girlfriend's reaction an overblown response to information that does not affect the current health or s**bility of their relationship?

Should prospective partners be ent*tled to complete disclosure regarding all past medical events, regardless of current relevance?
