Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 and a half years, a few times in the relationship he has been reluctant to say and didn’t want to hurt me but has commented on my weight and my body. I am petite, always have been, when he met me I was petite too. He knows I’ve had issues off my family and when I was at school about my body and how slim I am/was. I am petite, I have small breasts but my bum and thighs are alright I personally think I have weight and curve there. He basically broke my head the other day, when I said, you don’t really flirt or joke around in a “naughty” way with me, and after a bit of thinking he came back with, I really don’t want to say it, but I’m not attracted to your body enough for me to do those things. Which I think is one of the worst things a person can hear from their loved ones. Couple days have gone by and he said he still wants to be with me and that he knows he took a really bad approach talking about it and he should love me for me. But he hasn’t done much else like compliment me, buy me anything or surprise me, I just know I’d do anything to makesure he was okay if I hurt him with such a thing. But also, this has hurt my mental health and esteem like crazy, I will be insecure and sad knowing he’s not really attracted a lot to my body,
But it has been a long time for us, and he loves me for me, but this is obviously a serious issue,
Any advice please ????? 💔
