    Well my "significant other" told me i was gaining weight, he knows I have this issue with my weight, and i'm really sensitive about my weight, and it just really bothers me, and I struggle with it alot. He didn't say he would dump me or anything, he just said I eat like all the time, and then starts pushing me about it, and i"m like why can't I eat what I want, I mean I'm 16, might as well eat what i want while I can right?? Maybe I"m wrong w/e I told him it really bothers me but he still talks about it like all the time, and it kinda bothers me, then he apoligizes but then I just don't know what to say after that and I don't want to talk to him. Am I being way too defensive on this one, I mean he is my boyfriend does he have a right to say that?? I dunno he wasn't mean, just putting in his word, but i think he knew it would bug me and was trying to hint at something? Oh well some advice PLZ this is just tearing me up, I"m confused!!

    First of all, you are lovely no matter what. If he is doing it purposefully to be an ass, then you should definitely end it with him. Now, if he is concerned with your health, then maybe you can't be to harsh with him. But you are 16, so I'm not too sure if that is the case here. He also might be doing it purposefully to hurt you in hopes that you will break up with him (too chicken to do it himself). So, ask him if you want to break up, see what his reply is. Other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you.

    It's alays going to be difficult to hear something like that. But if he's made his point before then what is he hoping to achieve by keep hassling you about it?
    It's going to make you feel like crap, and probably want to make you comfort eat.
    You are 16! your metabolism is probably as good as it will ever be, but if this guy doesnt love you for you regardless of what size clothes you are then maybe he is too shallow to deserve you.

    maybe you shuld start asking him a few things that will pi** him off such as isnt he at theage where he should have facial hair? or something else to knock his masculinity and then maybe he will think twice before making such insensitive comments.

    yes, he is your boyfriend and is bound to have an oppinion, but thats all it is - his oppinion.
    Alos - bear in mind that some guys make us feel bad to ensure that we dont get too big for our boots and look elsewhere.

    Hope this helps, sorry for rabbiting on there
