Today, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I want to start working out and get rid of my holiday weight. His response? "Okay, just don't join a gym. People will have to see you there." FML

Hopefully he meant guys might find you attractive and hit on you. :P

Your bf sounds like a jerk. If he can't like you for what you look like, you need to find someone who does. Dump his ass to the curb.

I think he meant it as in he doesn't want other men looking at you, unless he always makes rude remarks then he's an ass either way don't let that change your train of thought op

I have had boyfriends and an ex-husband like that. My current husband will acknowledge that I'm chubby, but he's always making sure I know he finds me beautiful. He would never say something like "people will have to see you there". He and I love to dress up and go out on the town, he's proud to have me on his arm. He's supportive by helping me with food choices. If someone loves you, they see you as beautiful. Yes, that's a bad sign when someone is as negative as that. I would start taking this relationship much less seriously and start dating other people. If you're living together, I would strongly advise moving out.

I'm sorry but you're the one that wanted to lose weight. I swear to god this is such a double standard. Girls want guys to go to the gym but guys can't want girls to go to the gym? You know maybe he was just trying to look out for you. Ever think of it that way? Maybe he knew you'd be embarrassed so he said you shouldn't go to a gym. But instead you do the typical bitch thing and complain that he thinks you're fat when you're the one that just called yourself fat. And then you go post it on FML for attention. You're a bitch.

Apparently you are too self-concious about your body to take it humorously. so tell him. Talk. Open mouth and explain why the comment hurt you. And then stop taking everything so seriously. So what if you're chubby? The world won't end. Your boyfriend is still your boyfriend. Life didn't end because you gained a few pounds, so stop tying yourself in knots over it. You both need to work on your communication skills...

Maybe he wants more cardio exercise in bed with you?

That does sound like a dick move but maybe he didn't mean it that way. Sometimes it's embarrassing to go workout in public places. Ask him about it before you do anything rash.

How much weight could you possibly have put on over the holidays? I mean, if you are one of those superficial girls who thinks shes fat just because she added a single pound to her 98 pound alredy body, then the rude comment sounds fine to me. In the chance that you really are overweight and want to lose it, then dont blame it on the holidays.

Seems like he is just afraid that you might meet a more buff and well better looking guy than him.
