My boyfriend makes fun of my body.

He sucks, OP. You can do better. You sound hot.

And Op, out of all the men in the world - - you think HE is the best one?

What wrong with you??

You need to break up and move on .

And that's why you're with someone who feeds that disorder.

Dump him, get yourself a good therapist, and don't you dare go out with someone again until you've got that under control.

Kick him to the curb. If he's saying that now, what will he say years from now? Your self esteem is just going to keep going down the toilet if you stay with him. He's already playing mind games with you acting like you're too sensitive.

First husband did this to me. I was too young and stupid and put up with it. DO NOT put up with this behavior. Another reason to not move into having a sexual relationship too fast. Find out what a guy is like first. I did that with my second husband and all is well.

I would get into therapy too. You need to learn why you would accept this kind of treatment, and how to avoid it in the future.

I agree with this PP. My ex "joked" about my body, and refused to stop when I asked him because "you're too sensitive". Check out what Carolyn Hax has to say about that BS. It took years for me to feel comfortable in my own skin again.

Leave. Don't look back. And I agree with the suggestions to seek therapy for the body dysmorphic disorder.

I'm not overweight - 5'1, 110lbs, big breasts. I'm self-conscious about them and my looks. I'm not the prettiest ( look like Avril Lavigne). Anyway, he always talks about one ex he dated that had " flawless" skin and how he doesn't find stretchmarks appealing. I get they aren't but there isn't much I can't do about them. 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.

Dump him! This is just wrong!

Run! You can do better. Work on your self esteem and then date like crazy. You are only 26. These are the years to have fun.

As the ol' saying goes, boys: treat 'em like shit and they'll love you forever.

And what would you think about a man saying these things to your young daughter some day? If you stay with him and marry him that would be your, and any daughters , future.

He's a jerk and you should run.
