Partners Eating giving me the ick

My my bf of just over a year is kind of disgusting me with his eating habits, he has to have the largest of meals & is overweight with a saggy belly & stretch marks, he eats literally for two people & im not used to ‘greedy people’. We live together with my teen son & he always compares his meal portion sizes & often wants more.

We have just arrived on an AL holiday & the amount of food he is putting away is shocking, he’s a big-ish lad anyway, but the weight he is putting on is alarming, he’s a really amazing person, but his eating habits are a real ick

Er... You can make a choice here OP

You're not married, you don't have kids together, why live together? It's only been a year. Dump him or tell him to move out and meet up for dates, if you want to.

I'd upgrade this from an "ick" to a legitimate concern, to be honest. Now it's gluttony and "the ick," in future it's health issues and a bad example to your son.

I'd find this repulsive.

I couldnt be with someone who was so greedy and didn't value their health.

Gluttony is not attractive.

Why are you living with a man you have known for such a short time, and who is a greedy fucker who gives you the ick?

Get rid of him!

If you're not compatible, you can seperate. The relationship should still be fun at this stage.

you have a boyfriend of a year , you find him physically repellent , he gives you the ick, he’s in competition for basic resources with your son and thinks he should get more than him , you literally don’t like him . What do you think you should do?

BeSharpHelper · 31/10/2026 13:59

Is he rich? Do you have a better standard of living ? Is that what’s giving you pause ? There just be something you haven’t mentioned .

TheGruffalosNan · 31/10/2026 14:07

Why are you with him?

What does your son think about this guy moving into his home so quickly and helping himself to the last packet of Hobnobs. I really hope he's paying his way.
