Today, I was trying to be sexy and change in front of my boyfriend. As I was changing, he started to talk to me about how we should both try and lose weight. FML
14, I know lots of guys that would get turned on by a wardrobe change, just like there are some guys that get off on seeing their girlfriends dripping wet and freshly out of the shower. :P It's sexy when it's not meant to be sexy (or something along those lines) :P
Maybe he could have put it in a better way, and at a better time.. Like while you're grocery shopping he casually says, "Hey honey.. I think we should start eating healthier. In fact, we should get a membership at the gym too and lose a little weight together. " While it wasn't the best scenario, at least he included himself.
Sure but there is a time and a place... And when your girlfriend is doing a strip-tease is definitely not the right time :)
Nothing could have prevented him from suggesting the idea the following day.
I know exactly what you mean - I think it comes off as voyeurism for people... and a tease to others (most people don't get naked then re-dressed while changing, they do a piece at a time)
But, it was probably on his mind already - seeing you reminded him - he made a matter of fact statement about the both of you - doesn't sound like any direct criticism of you personally. Guy sounds fairly honest and grounded.
56- In addendum to what 73 has already pointed out, computer programs have been known to "forget" to automatically capitalize I's and the opening word in a sentence. You also could've used a comma before "right".
100, there's a few phone apps or websites that don't change it automatically. In fact, the FML app doesn't automatically capitalize each sentence beginning. I only do it out of habit. :)
Have you forgotten that you are at the comment board for the friends, family and acquaintances of the world's douche bags? Ops have been dumped for less.
Exactly. He's being very brave saying that not only should his girlfriend lose weight but also himself. I would be very happy if I were you OP, your boyfriend seems very caring.
Sorry, but YDI... There's nothing wrong with telling you that! If you need to lose weight, you should be happy that he's willing to do it with you. As long as he still loves you and doesn't put you down, I don't see anything wrong with what was said to you.
I think it probably was the changing. He sees his own body pretty front and center any time he changes in a fully lit room and now he's watching her directly change. There may be a more tactful way of saying "we seem to have gained some weight over the last few months/years" but I wouldn't take offense to it.
