Should I break up with my loving boyfriend over my body image insecurities?

[quecerac3raa4]

hi guys, i (22f) am diagnosed with pcod and that has made me gain weight. i dont cry over spilled milk, i do work out however as we know, brushing the weight off isn't easy. i have a bf- he is the same age as me, loving weve been in love for 3 years and together for 2 years almost. however lately i have been feeling very unhappy about myself and i feel like he will lose feelings for me cause of my entire outlook. he is a very good guy and he loves me as much as i love him and i know he wouldn’t do such a thing but i just cannot shake this thought off my mind. im not happy with myself and its making me get a distorted image about my relationship dynamic. shall i consider breaking up with him? so that this constant feedback loop of hell leaves me the hell alone? i feel like i will ruin what i have with him and i dont know what to do. please help. i came here cause i usually have no one to talk with about this, please help

No, don't ruin a relationship because of your insecurities. Work on those. Seek counseling or any other form of help.

Why would you? If he's happy to stay, why would you want to push him away?

if possible, you might talk to a professional counselor.

I think you should lean on him to help you out of this, and seek professional mental health assistance!

You need therapy. Not posting about it on a website like this. GaG will only make your insecurities even worse.

I’m on GAG to help people stop sabotaging good love because of loud insecurities in their heads, not red flags in their partners.

Do *not* break up with a loving boyfriend because of body image. That’s not a relationship problem, that’s an inner critic problem.

Use his love as a safe space, not a punishment. Tell him how you feel, maybe get therapy, keep working on your health.

You’re not “ruining” it; your anxiety is trying to protect you by pre‑rejecting you. Don’t ghost yourself from a relationship where he’s clearly still choosing you, curves and all.

Sounds like you want an excuse to abandon
