To put some context to this, I’m 20F and I’m around slightly above average BMI, a bit curvy but not overweight.
My boyfriend (20M) and I are in a long distance relationship (for almost 5 years) and he recently came to visit me a week ago. When we went out to restaurants or grocery shopping I liked picking out some sugary items as a treat because I wanted to indulge in whatever food I liked during this visit. When I picked out food with sugar content he would say loudly ‘You’re going to get diabetes’ or just ‘diabetes’. I felt really uncomfortable by this and I already feel uncomfortable being out in public as it is, he turned a lot of heads by saying that and I feel like he’s trying to control what I eat like I am unable to feed myself. When I confronted him about it he says that he says this with best interest, that he’s looking out for me and my health but I think that there is definitely a better way to approach this than use embarrassment against me. He KNOWS that I get huge anxiety in public and just by saying those comments it amplifies it more. I feel like I’m being treated like a child...
TL;DR My boyfriend is trying to control what I eat during our short visit together, what can I do to make him stop?
