TLDR: BF started new gym routine to get buff, and now can't stop making vaguely cannibalistic comments about my small size.
I, at a very modest 5'6, am significantly shorter than my boyfriend (of 2 years), who is towering over me at a much more impressive 6'3. As a guy, I'm not happy about it, but what can you do?
My boyfriend and I are both also rather slim, although a slim 6'3 still weighs quite a bit more than my "petite" frame. That too, I have come to terms with. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, and going to the gym to bulk up doesn't appeal to me at all.
My boyfriend, though, has started working out as of late. I don't really comprehend it, but gaining a new interest is always great so I'm happy. He hasn't been going long or hard enough to see any real change, but he's certainly changed attitude wise.
Namely, he's become rather obsessed with my size.
Not in a negative way, really: Not in a calorie-monitoring, "Should you be eating that?" kind of way.
He simply can't stop commenting on how small my frame is and how significant our size difference is. And possibly will be, if he gets all buff like he wants to be.
He does things like suddenly picking me up without warning, feeling my arms and legs: The worst part is when he squeezes my waist and says something like "You're so tiny! I could crush you!" or "If I hug you as tight as I want to I might snap you in half!"
It's sort of like he's hinting that he's going to murder me.
Of course, I told him that this bothered me (and also jokingly mentioned that it made him sound like a serial killer), which he did not like at all. He argued that it should make me feel safe, and that it was really hurtful of me to act like he's being creepy or threatening. He says he likes how small I am because that means he can protect me.
Now, it's not like people don't normally comment about my size: When you're a guy who is 5'6, everyone does. And it sure isn't the creepiest comments I've gotten about my size (not by far). But I just feel disrespected by his comments, like he's treating me as a little kid or a girl. And also, yeah, really creeped out. He almost never mentioned our height difference before, so I don't get why 1 month at the gym changed him this much.
