  • Leave him and find a man who will appreciate your body and love you exactly the way you are. Your boyfriend is supposed to make you feel like the sexiest girl in the world, not tear down your self-confidence. You deserve someone who will not make you feel inferior just because of your body. Everyone has a preference and it's not exactly "wrong" if that's what he thinks however it is wrong of him to put your body down like that in an argument.

    I know exactly how you feel, I'm also fairly skinny and have been called that before. Sure, it's not the same as being called "fat" but it still has the same effect and can make women feel very self-conscious about their bodies. No one should feel that way, especially about something they can't change about themselves.

    • exactly, people think calling someone "skinny" or "bony" or some sh*t is okay, but it has the same effect as calling someone "fat"

    • Exactly, anyone can feel self-conscious about their body, not just overweight people. And pointing out someone's body type (whatever it may be) like that is wrong. I completely understand where you're coming from.

  • don't take it too personally. it was said in argument. people also say hurtful things when they're mad and not mean them

    • He meant it, he's mentioned something like that before but in my delusional little bubble I was all "oh he's just kidding"

  • People say hurtful things during fights, it's a fact of life. There's no quarantee that he even thinks you're too bony, maybe somebody else said it to him and even though he disagress with it, he knew it would hurt you, so he said it. Talk with him about it, communication is key in a relationship. Ask him if he likes your body and what he likes about your body. Tell him how much that hurt you. Such a conversation will let you know rather or not he's a nice guy, if he is, work through your issues together, if he's a jerk, dump him.

  • hit the gym. start doing weighted squats and stuff. then have a protein shave. soon you will look and feel better about yourself.
