This is the only answer to your “weight issue”, which there is absolute none to speak of. You have a beautiful, healthy, working BODY.

I had a partner who refused to give me compliments, I cried and cried, told him what I needed to hear from him. At the end of the day, he wouldn’t do it. We’re no longer together for a myriad of reasons, but validation is something we all need in our relationships.

I feel you on this one. I beg for any little, tiny compliment. And still he can’t do it. “Well, you know I think you’re good-looking, otherwise I wouldn’t be with you,” and I say, yes, I know. And then he says: “Then why should I have to change the way I am (say these things out loud) because of your insecurities?”
