Why does my boyfriend gets upset when I forgot to eat?

[Anonymous]

As the title says sometimes I forgot to eat or I simply don’t eat enough. Instead of breakfast, I have coffee and usually, I eat one meal a day aside from sweets and candies). My boyfriend found out about my “habit” and he was upset with me. He rant about it and said how I have to eat. I told him that I simply forget about it and most of the time I don’t have the appetite. The other day, he came to my place carrying bags and cooked lunch because he thought I wouldn’t eat. I understand that he is caring and thoughtful, but it’s weird to me because I’m not used to someone taking care of me.

That's how it is when someone cares for you, my grandmother eats a lot of sugar and candy, that's my father's mother, I told him that he should stop buying so much candy and sugar for her, she can get diabetes, people tend to think of all the bad they can prevent when they care about someone, mostly knowing that abusing something is never good, even if that abuse is a habit of not eating.

Because he loves you

It’s because he cares… I would be grateful for that!
He wants to make sure you have a healthy eating habit and get enough nutrients daily. He simply cares about you and your health. He probably doesn’t want you to develop an eating disorder or something.

No no, don’t get me wrong. I am indeed grateful! It’s just so thoughtful of him and I never feeled so loved - like he show he cares. I grow up with distant parents and I took care of myself most of time, so I’m not used to this. It just surprised me

Girl, I totally get it. It took me months to really adjust to my boyfriend doing that too. I think he wants to show you that you matter to him, and that’s his way of doing it. 😊 You got a keeper lol

It’s nice though, isn’t it? To have someone care like that. Hold on to him. And be kind. He’s special.

How the hell do you 'forget to eat'. Sounds like you may have an eating disorder.
