I put up with this crap for 3 years, I tried everything but the guy was just a lazy pos and it was the first step in his coercive control and gaslighting journey. He steps up or kick him now and save yourself some pain. If this is how he carries on over cooking a meal, guess how much effort he’s going to put in raising his future children!
I don’t think you are happy, or at least he isn’t. If I had someone hassling me weekly about my weight I’d be utterly miserable.
If you want a hobby, take up rock climbing, or knitting. He’s not your project, nor is he a doll for you to dress up and change as you like.
He is who he is. Take him as he comes or find someone else who is more in line with what you want in a person, because from this it sounds like he’s nog it.
Idk if this helps to try to see perspectives, so I'll offer one.
First- you did nothing wrong. This was fucked. That's a fact.
I'd done something relatable around the same age where I'd kissed one person I liked for the first time, but that same night kissed someone else for “fun” but didn't actually have a crush on. I didn't think about it in advance, but I'm a reflective person, so I definitely sat on it for a while afterward. I realize it had to do with me holding onto fear in my head that in kissing the guy I liked, he'd somehow take that as unwritten permission to assume I belonged to him, and I hadn't thought about anything like that yet. That was all born out of my own fears of commitment, I hadn't spent much time “dating” and seemed to always end up in long relationships with anyone I'd ever had a mutual crush on. I wanted to feel different, more adult, and like I belonged to me and had my own options open.
Now, I didn't do it right in front of his face… I did talk to him about it and explained my thinking. We had a few months' long fling until it started to reach a seriousness level we weren't interested in pursuing.
So, please just know there's no way this is about you. You decide what you want, what you deserve, and what you can move past or what it takes for you to move past. Good luck out there! And congrats for the first part?
Why would you stay in a relationship with someone if you are this unhappy?
