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.

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.
