I think your bf is in love with the idea of the person he wants to make you into, the person he wants you to look and act like in other words, hes in love with himself as he sees himself manifest through you. Maybe not just the you he wants to make you into, but also the him who is Cool and Helpful and Makes Things Better so he doesnt want to accept that what hes doing is hurting you, because thatd mean hes not Cool or Helpful or Making Things Better and hasnt been for a while.

Certainly housework affects him, but what LW eats and how much she exercises doesnt. Im so frustrated that youre hurting, and that I cant do more to help your recovery. Reasonable.

Hi LW I havent read through the comments yet, so maybe this has been covered (probably it has, the Awkwardeers are brilliant), but I couldnt not weigh in on this because I have been where you are and it sucks, and now I am somewhere else where it sucks a whole lot less, so if you dont mind, perhaps a view from the other side would be helpful? A big thing about this for me is the control he seems to want over your life. Wow, what a trainwreck/mindfuck. I think doing the opposite of that can also be helpful.

Do you think you might try that?-level of caretaking from and for a partner, and it sucks to be in either role when you dont know if or when things will get better. But it will definitely *not* help if Im already in a funk, other than possibly giving me an excuse to go outside and do something vaguely useful-feeling.

Try to find something low key that has a predictable, repeatable structure so you see some of the same people every time and can form connections naturally over time. man, you know, there is even an episode of star trek entirely about how when Spock tries to logic everything, the human crew gets really upset with him and McCoy is like emotion exists you dick and Spocks like the deuce you say BUT THEN HE STARTS TO ACCOUNT FOR HUMAN EMOTIONS IN HIS DECISION MAKING AND STUFF WORKS BETTER. People do get used to roles, and if youve been in the role of the sick one who needs help and your partner got used to the role of the competent one who knows what should be done and should be listened to, then you are challenging those roles by getting healthier. Oh, this reminds me so much of one or two friends Ive had. (Like money, work, how one treats others possessions, punctuality, use or misuse of power, objectively insulting words, etc.) You cant have every moment be a comfortable one otherwise youre never actually challenging yourself, but they are needed otherwise you burn out. didnt care to be badgered about things and it needed to stop.

Because cookies were next to my bed. hes in love with himself as he sees himself manifest through you. But the way he goes about it is you need to exercise today. I certainly noticed the drop in my fitness when I moved cities to a place where I could no longer walk to work every day. Walking is brilliant (assuming you have the spoons and physical ability to do it) its gentler on your joints than a lot of other cardio, you dont need special clothing, and its free. This boyfriend does not sound like good news to me. It doesnt sound like the boyfriend is helping the LW at all in this area; if anything, hes making changing food and exercise habits into a huge source of stress. Talk to your boyfriend in a quiet, calm setting. He seems quieter than usual Your conversations are brief, and he doesn't appear to be as interested in your life anymore. Not really. My ironclad rule now is to keep distance from people who respond to this thing you do hurts me with anything but, Im so sorry, are you okay? I think there are some other strategies you can follow that will improve things for you. But when he starts talking about how hes going to end it they cant help but treat you differently.
