Hi JustUs,
I have been married to "Sean" for five years. I am 27, stand 5 feet 7 inches tall and weigh 120 pounds. Sean is constantly pushing me to eat and exercise more, and he comments on my thighs and stomach a lot. He tells me it's not a weight issue, but I need to "consume high protein bars between meals and/or gain more muscle to add on thickness." He wasn't like this when we got married.
I love my body, and I know I'm not fat or overweight. I walk 4 miles round trip to work. My entire workday is spent on my feet, walking or running. I get plenty of exercise, and I'm healthy and active. He is on this serious crave for thicker women and wanting me to change how I am for his thirst.
This is really hurting my confidence. It bothers me to hear that someone I love thinks my body is unattractive because of my little "fat." I don't know what gave Sean this idea. How do I deal with it?
