'Mismatched' couples flood social media standing up for 'unlikely' relationships with #BreakTheMould

'Strange' couples often face judgement and harsh comments.

After an American guy was bashed online for being "fat and ugly" and his girlfriend fighting against the cyber bullies, couples from Australia have flooded Facebook with comments, stories and photos of their own "unlikely" relationships in support of the quest to break stereotypes. The viral story, that stemmed from Reddit, was posted on the Facebook page of Sunrise, a breakfast TV show; since then, heartwarming comments have poured in. For these couples, beauty is beyond what others can see.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Stories ranged from differences in size, height, weight and color; they shared their experiences and positive outlook in life, despite the harsh judgment on their physical "unattractiveness" from other members of society.
 

"People tell my man the same... he has man boobies and a belly but I wouldn't have him any other way. So much more to love. I love my boy more than anything," commented a Sophie Wright, from New South Wales, about her boyfriend Joshua.

Jay Dunn from Brisbane also shared their couple photo with the comment, "Ranga they called me in school and red head."

"My gorgeous wife loves me to death, as I do her. You don't need to fit a mould, be yourself and everything else will follow. Love you Megan," wrote Damien Lamaro along with a lovely photo of him and his wife.

Charlene Giorgio of Adelaide shared her own story, as her husband also suffered from bullies and still does. Her response is heartwarming and a direct hit to those who criticize others' lives over just their physical appearance.

"I'm getting married to a big man to which I love with all my heart, we had some difficulty with some family but honestly I couldn't care less about what people said. At the end of the day he may not have that rocking body you see on TV, but he's got a heart of gold and would do nothing to hurt me he's like a big lovable teddy bear."

The #breakthemould online campaign started when Ashley Stevens read rude and nasty comments about her boyfriend Christopher Reed after she posted an adorable photo of them together.
