I don't have a clue as to where this post should go, but i think it belongs here.
I've been living with my boyfriend for 6 years (as of this upcoming Sunday) and in this time, I've had a big problem with my weight (since meeting him, i've put on about 60 lbs).
He really has a huge issue with my weight. Of course I've tried taking it off, but nothing has worked well. This is really destroying our relationship. I care for him very deeply, but guys, he can't let this weight issue go. He's having a harder time with it then I am.
I've considered leaving him. I can't take his being miserable because I don't look like "all the other girls" as he puts it. Everywhere we go, its just a constant reminder of my weight. And its summer, so now its even worse.. I work out, I work harder then he does. I try to run around and move as much as I can. And still he just burns me every chance he gets.
I do love him. And I know he loves me. We have good times, but for a while now, living has just been miserable. I don't know what to do.
I guess what I'm looking for here is some advice. Others that have gone through this as well, knowing of others who have gone through this. I'm not really looking for answers, and I know my options. Just others who have similar experiences and perhaps a "what would you do in this situation?" Or "what have others done?" (even if it is 4 people removed).
Thanks so much.
