Was given meds to help me sleep. Turns out, they also make me put on weight. GP never mentioned this (I have a genuine sleep disorder. Diagnosed through sleep studies etc)
I cannot deal with the weight gain. I feel disgusting, clothes don't fit etc...
I told GP I need different meds, they've been prescribed.
DP says I should be fine with the weight gain because he still finds me attractive. Accused me of wanting to feel attractive to other men.
I only want to feel good about myself. AIBU?

YANBU. That's a very jealous thing for your partner to say.
He should be understanding that you putting on weight doesn't make you happy within yourself

I don't have any suggestions sorry but he defo needs to stop with that jealousy rhetoric

Ask the GP to prescribe something else.

How long are you on the medication?

Sometimes the increased appetite passes after a few months.

He is probably trying to make you feel better by saying you still are attractive despite weight gain. Maybe has just gone an arse-handed way about it?

Maybe try explaining the concerns you have yourself about the weight gain, that you want to feel good about your own body when you two are together, the health concerns you have due to increased BMI.

Is he usually quite paranoid? Does he worry about other things?
