'I did everything to support her in losing weight.' Boyfriend frustrated by girlfriend's weight-loss struggles, wonders if he's crossing the line
This boyfriend has reached his wit's end with his girlfriend's dietary practices, now he's wondering if he is overstepping and the internet has given him a definitive answer.
In a trending thread from Reddit's popular "Am I the A-Hole" subreddit, the boyfriend, Redditor u/Unlucky_Revolution27 shared his story. He has been increasingly concerned with his girlfriend's weight gain and says that he has gotten her permission to help her get back in shape.
Commenters were quick to put him in his place and, in some lengthy comments, made clear their thoughts on the matter. They made it obvious that his girlfriend should be rethinking her relationship.
"YTA. Have you considered asking her what's driving her to eat and the need to sm*ke?" replied Reddit user andravens. "You're offering all sorts of support for the physical and nothing for the mental and emotional. If you only care about why she's gaining weight because of her looks and passing care for her physical health, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities. There is something deeper at play; if you care about her and love her, drop the talk about weight loss. Start talking to her about what's going on that's upsetting her or stressing her out or depressing her."
"He doesn't care about the mental and emotional, because you can't "see" them. He only cares about the physical because he's a shallow a-hole." responded another user.
Sounds pretty similar to the date who lost it when his date ate too large of a salad.
