Ditch the guy, but tell him it's because he has a weak chin.

After he said those things, he should never have seen your naked body again. Why would you continue to date someone like this?

Keep this piece of advice in your mind as you date: The most important factor in a boyfriend/husband is how they make you FEEL. This guy makes you feel unatttractive, self conscious, unhappy, uncomfortable, anxious, etc.

Break up today.

Yep. Break up now, this future ex-boyfriend will never be happy with your body and he's letting you know now. I'm sure a much nicer future guy will be very happy to meet you!

Women give each other such astonishingly horrible, dishonest advice.

OP, see a therapist and join a support group for your issue, and dump this guy.

Never ever ever be with a guy who says negative things about you, especially your body. There are so many guys out there who love women's bodies and will adore you and yours as it is, and as it will become with the effects of age and childbirth. And that's what you need. Not someone who feeds your pain.

So let this one go. He's not for you. You'll know you're on the right track with a guy if you feel good with him--accepted, appreciated, attractive to him, and there's no feeling of being dragged down or undermined by anything he says or does.

I don't make fun of him that he is 29 with a dad bod. I've told him it hurts my feelings and then he says it's a joke and I need to lighten up. I am starting to lose interest ang want to break up but I don't want to act like a drama queen.

You don't have children or common assets together - why are you tolerating him? The boyfriend's purpose in life is to make you feel good, not bad! Feeling bad in his company is a reliable signal you need to get rid of him.

You are 26, TWENTY SIX YEARS OLD. Prime age for attracting men. Have you got any idea how many men are in this world? He ought to be delighted you are even getting naked with him. Dump the idiot.

Get rid of him. I cherish every inch of stretch mark, every ounce of cellulite, every mole, and every other stereotypical "imperfection" my wife has. It is part of the all of her that I love and am extremely physically attracted to.

Bottom line you can and should do better.

Sounds like a good one. Honest. You don't want the ones who insincerely compliment everything. No challenge.

I'm sorry your boyfriend is taking time to point out your 'imperfections'. No one 's perfect and we all rather have people that lift us up not tear us down, that's a shame specially when it comes from those close to us, is bad enough when family do it. Please, remember that independently from what he or anyone tell you, you are perfect in God's eyes because He made you. Whoever criticizes you is criticizing God's work. Don't forget that you are perfect and you are loved!
