Hello Alex, you must always be yourself and not change for anyone! My first husband felt the same about me as your boyfriend. He always wanted me to lose weight and never asked me anywhere as he couldn't show me off to his friends as I was overweight! He was a nice bloke but couldn't accept me for myself and it wasn't easy living with him for the six years we were together, I can't remember how many times I left him and went back to my Parents but always went back to him. He never asked me to any of his works do's as he was so ashamed of me. The first thing he said to me when we first met at a nightclub was "why don't you go away and lose some weight". I should have known then what he was like! The trouble is I did go away and lose quite a lot of weight and he was fine with me and we got married, but over the years I put the weight back on and he wasn't very nice to me because of that. We divorced after having a rocky relationship for six years.
I was on my own for 15 years apart from my lovely lab x dogs, and then I met my lovely husband Brian. he is also big and totally loves me for myself and loves me to pieces. He hates it if I wont go anywhere with him, he is truly a lovely, lovely bloke. Weve been married now for nine years and are extremely happy together.
So you see Alex, to be truly happy you have to be excepted as yourself and never have to change. People have to love you for yourself.
I hope you didn't mind me puting all that, it's just that it brought back memories of myself when I read your post. Good luck anyway, you will find true happiness in time.you see.
