Why can't he listen?

I'm working on losing weight so that I feel good again but my boyfriend keeps taking pictures of me. When he does that my self esteem goes and I start feeling like I'm not good enough. He said he loves me and my body that it's sexy but he just doesn't understand because he has high confidence in himself.

Alicew00. If you don't want your picture taken your boyfriend should respect that, otherwise it is an invasive thing to do. If he loves you and your body then he can demonstrate that by listening to what you say and how you feel about this.

You've asked him to stop. He should stop. He is invading your boundaries, invalidating your feelings and basically ignoring you,

Get a few responses on this thread and show him everyone thinks he's a complete TossTwat

I'm a bloke by the way.

He won’t listen because he’s putting what he wants above what you want. Which isn’t nice or respectful or supportive. Tell him to knock it the fuck off.

This is not failure to listen. It's failure to respect your boundaries.

You should only need to sit him down properly and and tell him once how it makes you feel and that you are not ok with it. If he continues after that, why the hell would you keep giving him more chances?
