He was being melodramatic. He knows how important an occasional photo is to me, I'm just the type of person who likes having memories like that. There's no childhood trauma (at least not one shared with me) and we discussed this a billion times already, he just doesn't like seeing himself in the photo. I feel like he's being really selfish and disrespectful of my feelings, because I very very rarely ask him for a photo and I don't even post it anywhere.
Like truly, if you actually love someone in every way, their weight doesn’t bother you. Because you love THEM. But it sounds to me like he simply doesn’t want a heavier girlfriend. And who knows, she may have undiagnosed depression, other health issues, or just having a very hot time. Trying to push someone into the gym and talking about their weight nonstop is NOT going to motivate them. It’s only going to make them more insecure.
Ironically for me, I was more motivated to lose weight when the person I loved, loved me irrespective of weight. I didn’t feel ashamed of me, so I didn’t feel embarrassed to want to lose weight.
And I did. Put the damn stuff back on a bit now I’m over 40, but I don’t care. And when someone loves you for who YOU are, it frees you up to be you.

We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
I wouldn't try to be friends with her if you're still feeling like you're going to freak out about her dating someone. That's not a healthy way for a friend to behave. I'd reach out, say you're dealing with some feelings right now but would be open to being friends once you've chilled out.
Nah, I've dated contrarians like this before. She's attempting to isolate him from his friends and she's acting oblivious so that she can play demure when called out on it.
If she truly believes that his friends are causing problems in their relationship, then she still has a boyfriend problem, not a his friends problem. She needs to talk to him about these problems, not them.
She's the one stirring up a hornet's nest because she wants to revel in the drama.
Du und dein Studium gehen vor. Den Fehler habe ich selbst auch schon gemacht, meine Beziehung über mein persönliches Leben zu stellen. Das ist was ich meinte, du musst da dein eigener größter Antrieb sein. Dein Leben hat Priorität, nicht deine Beziehung. Diese sollten sich auch eigentlich nicht im Weg stehen – denk da mal drüber nach 🙂
Loslassen ist eine der schwersten Dinge im Leben. Je älter du wirst umso häufiger muss man es leider tun. Ich musste schon eine Frau verlassen, mit der wollte ich alt werden und Kinder kriegen. Sie war aber psychisch krank und wollte dafür nie Hilfe, also ist auch nie etwas besser geworden. Unsere Beziehung, unsere Gefühle füreinander, war alles wie ausm Film. Sie war die Liebe meines Lebens und trotzdem hab ich sie verlassen. Für mich, für mein eigenes Wohl, damit ich nicht am Ende krank mit Depressionen ende und wieder Kontrolle über mein Leben bekomme. Sie hat mir mit Selbstmord gedroht und ich bin trotzdem gegangen.
Wir selber ziehen unsere Grenzen und wir selber sind dafür verantwortlich, dass diese auch eingehalten werden. Wenn du jemanden deine Grenzen überschreiten lässt und nicht handelst, dann sind deine Grenzen auch nichts wert. Das zählt auch für Dinge, von denen du gar nicht wusstest, dass es eine Grenze für dich ist!
Du müsstest jetzt ja auch bald Prüfungsphase haben. Konzentriert dich auf was wichtig ist und das bist du!
Freut mich, wenn ich dir ein bisschen helfen konnte! Alles Gute 🙂
I remember spending my quinceañera day on a hospital bed surrounded by doctors trying to figure out what was causing me so much pain around my lower belly area, at first they said I was going in to the emergency room because it looked like infection of the peritoneum. Then when I finally let them get near me with the ultrasound thing.. it wasn't. It was my ovaries, just hurting like they did every month, but worse. Around four times a year I went through that horrible pain. until at 17 y.o. I finally was able to go to the OBGYN on my own and ask him to get me on the birth control he suggested before (in the one appointment suggested by another doc) but my mom didn't want me to take. I just wanted to share my POV because my mom was also very much against BC like most people here, and it affected some of the best years in a girl's life. She did give me other pills to help with the pain, but none worked like BC did. I used to get 8 days of crime-scene period, as I like to call it, now I barely get two or three days, and almost no pain. Yes, I know of the possible side effects. But I hope you can understand I couldn't live! like that.
It seems like the two of you have very different versions of a life that you want. That's not a recipe for a long-term relationship. I know you're 21 but you should agree on the major issues or at least be close to agreement. That you're so far off of even those things, I don't see it working out. You're not starting from the strongest base here. All of the other items are secondary to family, location etc.
Girl, he's moving on in his life. He has responsibilities, training, school and hobbies and he's moved beyond the bounds of this relationship. By bounds I don't mean he's cheated. I mean he's outgrown it. He either just hasn't fully realized it yet or he doesn't know how to tell you. Time to work on moving on with your life, your school and hobbies, etc.
Cut contact with your brother and report him to the police. This seems like grooming behavior to me.
Nah, Portugal is 18. I on-line there and I'm pretty sure of it

Your partner sounds like an absolute keeper! ?
Exactly!

That man makes DiCaprio look like he wants to settle down with a sensible partner.

What you don't believe that everyone all of a sudden started calling her his girlfriend right at the one year mark?
This!!!!
Regret brings out the worst from the worse. He knows what he lost and just blames his wife. Not your fault as they both made their choices.
