I’m unhappy in my relationship should I leave?

0

My boyfriend doesn’t act as if he loves me any more we barely talk and he doesn’t want me to move back home, he says it’s for my own good, I feel like I’m putting fourth all the effort and for nothing. I’ve recently gained 80lbs and he constantly complains about it. I just don’t think he’s attracted to me any more.

If you are not happy in the relationship and he is not doing anything to help you be happy in the relationship it is time to call it quits. You might not have to "move home" but you've got to move out. You deserve someone who is going to appreciate you regardless of size.

Obviously the first step though would be to talk to him completely and directly. Lay the cards out on the table and tell him how you feel. See if he makes an effort to change.

Normally I am all for working things out and making relationships work but based on what you are telling me I don't think I can say that. It wouldn't hurt to have a serious conversation with your boyfriend to see if he will tell you how he honestly feels. If a relationship isn't meaningful then there isn't much of a reason to pursue it.

Keep in mind that... this idea of "doesn't act like he loves me" could be perception so talk and figure out how he feels instead of what you think he feels.

If you find he still cares for you and wants to continue the relationship then have a conversation with him about the way he complains about your weight. If he is so worried about your body now... what about when you are pregnant with kids? What about when you are old and grey? How would he feel if you were seriously injured, scared or maimed? Is he going to stop loving you because your body isn't what it once was? Find this out early enough and you may dodge a bullet.

Good Luck!

I agree with the others. If your relationship seems to be an added baggage with only only sided effort, leave. He'll regret not paying attention to you. Stay strong, but in my opinion, he isn't worthy of your time and affection.

I think it would be better for you if you left. I know it probably hurts to think about all the memories you guys used to have together, but if that's not how things are in the present, and it's been addressed, and there has been no effort to change it, then I think that it would be best if you guys just split. You will realize that being alone is better than being in a poisonous relationship!

If you have no children and no attachment, and can survive on your own.... Leave, better to be alone and love yourself. Spoil yourself for awhile if that helps to get over him...

If he complains about your weight tell him that he made you that way. You dont feel loved by him any more and thats causing you to be depressed and we all turn to food or alcohol to feel better. To be honest you need to leave his or take a break and see if he changes! If you dont see a change in his at all you dont go back.
