Argh! SO keeps saying he's fat

[WindRavenX]

:(

It's so frustrating--he's always had body image problems, and tonight a new pair of pants felt tight on him and now he's saying he's fat :cry:

Does anyone know what to say to him? He's not listening to me when I say he isn't.

1. An intriguing problem......

Both my guy and I have lost serious weight this year (me 40 lbs, him 25 lbs). One thing we've done to keep ourselves engaged has been to STRONGLY compliment each other on our progress, frequently. Maybe, if you REALLY made him think he was attractive to you, he'd be more secure and your problem would disappear..

2. I guess it's hard to show physical desire when you're apart

But he's always been like this. Sigh :(

5. I didn't realize you guys were apart...That makes it much harder....

Sad to say, most of us guys (gay or straight) are really resistant to change.

Still, I wish you the best of luck.

3. You can't make him like his body if he doesn't

Unfortunately.
