Jealous boyfriend cannot handle my weight loss!



Recommended Posts

The worst relationship I have ever been in sounds a whole lot like this one. I thought I was so in love and could not think of us not being together.

Almost one year after our break-up, I look back and can't believe what I put up with and how unhealthy that relationship was. I am SO HAPPY to have moved on.

I have felt like that with all of my exes! I think I will be really happy to move on, just need the strength to do so

Girl. Leave his butt and go do you. Any man that would say that to you is wrong. You are young and have so much to look forward too. You dont need a man to hold you back and you dont know who is out there waiting to find you. Go have fun and live your life without regrets. Plus if he's been jealous the whole time then he has some major issues going on with HIM and it's probably something he wont ever get over. just my opinion.

thanks...I may give him 1 more chance, then if that dont work then oh well..ill even suggest counseling again...n then I wont try anymore...cuz u cant change anyone

Thanks guys!

The truth be known, u have changed and there's nothing wrong with that.....u need to get out and enjoy life or U will regret it. Ur boyfriend needs to put on his big boy pants and shake off his anxiety an go out and have fun with u. This is a perfect time to go get some counseling. :)

Kick him to the curb. He is a child. Go find yourself a man that will treat you right.

Sounds to me you've already tried. Trouble with one more chance is it's simply a way of avoiding dealing with what you know deep down has to happen.

Theres always 3 sides of the story. Your side, his side, and the truth. But at the end of the day when it is all said and done you gotta do what's gonna make you happy.. :) best of luck to you. :)

Like your life depended on it. This is not how best friends treat each other. This is not supportive. Honey you are WAY too young to be dealing with drama! This is not about you changing and becoming one of those "skinny b**ches" he should live that you feel good about yourself, not tear you down! "Remember I wanted you when no one else would"????? HELL NO! Remind him that you put up with his B.S. when no one else will but that your patience has about run out! Tell him if he needs to be with someone whos insecure about themselves to make himself feel better, you are not the girl for him. You deserve someone that is crazy about you not someone's who's just crazy.

I know this is a hard situation. I was in a relationship that was similar but different. My ex of 3 years was my best friend. I loved him so much, would do anything for him, support him and was a mother to his kids when there real mom was nowhere to be found. But behind closed doors he was what they call a "feeder" and he was trying to control me and force me into gaining weight. I've struggled with weight my whole life and having someone that loved the fat me was wonderful. But I knew it wasn't healthy and I couldn't continue to be with this person that was 85% perfect for me. Leaving him was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I did it. One year later I was sleeved and I've now lost a total of 115lbs. And only have 10 more lbs to lose to be under 200lbs!!!!! I feel so much better. Do I miss him? Every damn day. But I'm now in a relationship with a man that supports me and loves me and wants me to be happy and succeed, no matter what.

My point is that even if you can't see it now... There is a whole world out there for you. He is not it. You need a partner... Not an anchor.

Best of luck to you sweetie.

I love how you pretty much sum it all up in those words and it gives a very distinct mental image.

I am so sorry this is happening, but when someone shows you who they are believe them! You can't always believe what they "tell" you, believe what they "show" you. If he is showing you that he is not a "go out and party person" then he probably won't change, if he is showing you that he is jealous, then he is. Love is not jealous. If he really was into you and the relationship he would be willing to do more of the things you want to do. Shouldn't have to get cussed out, because he don't want to grow up. Please, you are a pretty girl, you are young, don't waste your time. RUN!!!!!!!! :) -Missymellie33

Does he really deserve another chance? One more chance to do what? Hurt you, curse you, falsely accuse you, be jealous of you? Emotionally abuse you? Which one? I am just saying....

That's it, T3.

From the viewpoint of a father of a girl that married an emotionally stunted, self-centered, girly man who put her through hours and hours of verbal abuse before she finally was rid of him...it is so not worth it. Unless you want to be his therapist for the rest of your life find a MAN.

Why wait for him to hurt you again? He will do it repeatedly. You posted this for a reason and you are looking for answers. Everyone here has given you the answer you wanted to hear, so now it's time to take care of you. Get out before you get hurt again. A wise woman takes care of them self. Of course I mean no harm, but this is a reality check. I hope you make a healthy decision.

I'm going to take a slightly different approach and say that it IS in fact YOU that has changed. You're getting healthy and learning to live with the new you. Let's be honest, that is going to change anyone. Embrace the fact that you are different, it's not a bad thing. He may be trying to guilt you into feeling you should be ashamed of what you have accomplished. That is more about him than you.

What I am hearing is that you like the person you are becoming and that is great!! You deserve a chance to allow yourself to become the person you really want to be. It's rare in life that someone can reinvent themselves at our ages and yet we're doing it. You said that you were a homebody just like he is and now you want to go out. That is a change on your part. He still wants to stay in and that's fine. But it's not what you want anymore!

Accept that your personality types just don't mesh anymore. You have gone through surgery to become the person you want to be for the rest of your life. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with someone who wishes to experience life differently than you do?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
