Worst argument ever

Today, my boyfriend told me I should stop talking about his major gambling problem because he still loves me even though I gained weight. Apparently that evens things out. FML

There is no comparison, a gambling addiction will literally take everything from his life. If he doesn't get some help (do something about the issue) you shouldn't stay to see the destruction.

Did he ask you to gain weight? People don't normally ask to be addicts. like your weight he has a problem.

I've Been in a similar situation, except my ex had substance problems and he's a 30 y/o loser going nowhere bc of it. That aside, I'm not sure the way you're going about it now, but it sounds like you press about it and it's starting to grate on his nerves and you two are probably going to start becoming more unhappy and/or fighting. If his problem is as bad as you say it is maybe you should issue him an ultimatum and go from there. You can nag him about it all you want, but fact of the matter is he's not going to change unless he really wants to and there's not really much you can do about it except cut your losses if he doesn't.

His problem is definitely much bigger, but obesity does is a health issue. Still, he needs serious help. Compulsive gambling is a mental disorder.

It is, because he didn't mention your problem.

gambling and obesity.. typical Tennessee.

It is a lot easier to loose weight than it is to cure a gambling addiction. You deserve better OP.

Where does it says OP is obese? Where does she give any indication that while she gained weight that she is unhealthy in anyway? He's trying to misdirect the issues by talking about flaws that bother her even though a major gambling addiction could lose them their home or their jobs. OP if he doesn't get that issue under control you need to go. Addicts can't be trusted. It's not something they can stop.

U know nothing of an addict's disease. Ur obviously commenting on a topic just to be heard/read. It's a shame that ppl like you don't sit and be quiet more often. This is coming from a college graduate 3x over.

Dump him, get revenge by loosing some weight and being fabulous. You probably don't want to be with a fat shaming gambling adict anyway.

You should dump him and I've seen a video from buzzfeed that talks about relationships and one was almost all couples wouldn't care if there other significant gains weight so he's just a jackass
