“I pointed out how I wasn’t necessarily talking about losing weight but just getting fitter and going for walks or to the gym more often,” he recalled.
“I just said I think it’ll do us both a lot of good to be healthier.”
Even though he seemingly shared his thought process very gently, his girlfriend still became upset and went off about how he wasn’t attracted to her.
He made it clear that simply wasn’t true and also became a bit frustrated. He couldn’t understand why she’d even ask such a question if she wasn’t able to accept his response.
“And I told her I think both of our fitness levels could be better, but that’s got nothing to do with us needing to lose weight,” he added.
Well, his girlfriend wouldn’t stop accusing him of believing she was fat. At the same time, he wanted her to quit putting words in his mouth.
“And to stop asking questions if she’s going to ignore my answer and act like I’ve said something I haven’t,” he vented.
This sticky situation has left his relationship on the rocks, and his girlfriend claimed he should’ve been more sensitive.
That’s why he’s now wondering whether being upfront with his girlfriend was really the wrong thing to do or if she’s overreacting.
Why do you think his girlfriend asked if she wasn’t prepared for his honest opinion? Did he handle this well, or could he have done something differently?
