Why does he say this

[Fitfab]

I have started an exercise program it’s 12 weeks pretty intense but I’m seeing results despite going to the gym for over a year and seeing barely any results. I’m happy and cannot believe my body.

But my OH keeps making put down comments. For example I lift something up and he’ll laugh and snigger and say I like your muscles. Then he’ll say I really hope you don’t get too muscely it’s not attractive and no man wants a muscle woman.

I’m not muscle woman but I have built muscle and lost fat which was exactly my aim.

This is despite him being overweight and hardly having my dream mans body but I would never ever comment.

Do you think it’s genuinely off putting for him or do you think it’s insecurity? What do I do when I like the way I look and he apparently doesn’t although to me I look the best I ever have.

Jealous that you have the motivation to exercise probably

This should be in relationships.
He's putting you down because he feels insecure about his own lack of fitness. That is really awful of him. He should be proud of you and celebrating your success, not tearing you down because of it.
Lord save us from fragile men's egos...

Well done you!
He's definitely jealous, and you won't turn into a "muscle woman" unless you train extremely hard and heavy for years with a strict diet. But personally that's the look I want, if I only had the discipline.

Jealousy and insecurity. Call him out on it.

He is jealous and no doubt worried that you will find someone new better with your new body.

Good for you OP 💪🏼

Jealousy
Insecurity

Your partner is a prick. He's trying to ruin your confidence so you stay as unmotivated and useless as he is. Keep exercising, lose the prick.

Because he is horrible. A partner is supposed to be supportive.

Yes, agree he is behaving this way out of insecurity.
Would be interested to know what the programme is!

Because he's a bellend

He's jealous! He should be proud. Doesn't sound like a great relationship. You don't try to hurt someone you love.
