Re: BF not attracted to me anymore - input please!
You will leave this relationship when you
are ready to be treated better than you
are being treated. As someone who has had
boyfriends who have had issues with body
image, the ones I like and who have treated
me the best are the ones who liked and loved
me for who I am. A lot of my confidence comes
from loving myself and feeling I am worthy
of the relationships I have had. There is
no comparison for me now between a man who
would criticize my body and one who tells
me how much he values our relationship and
finds me beautiful. I personally would not
stay with someone who treated me poorly
since, now as a mature adult, I recognize
that that is as good as it gets. That you
have also "bought into" his comments also
indicates you need some emotional healing.
You may consider some positive self-talk
which will help you collect your thoughts
and ready yourself for the next fork in the
path. You have a fabulous chance for real
happiness and all the other things you may
need for a satisfying life but it may take
a lot of courage. Especially if you are not
married and do not have children involved,
consider this person one of your teachers
who taught you that you need to love yourself
more than you love him so that you are saying
YES to YOU and all the potential you will
find when you leave to be available for a
relationship which also says yes to you.
Best wishes~~
be happy, be well,
