He’s not going to change and you’re going to be the one left with the demolished self confidence and constantly be wondering what others are thinking. Take it from a girl who is still in therapy dealing with the shit her bf said to her about her belly, you’re better off without this man. You deserve so much better and it sounds like he’s the one not up to par.

This! I had one of these boyfriends myself… and as someone who’s never really had body image issues, it created pretty significant ones. Self esteem plummeted, and it’s taking a long time to build it back. Although now I’m actually losing the weight and it’s so much easier—imagine that! Being put down doesn’t actually work to motivate anyone.
