A bit of background info I’m Asian and my family is very conservative and old fashioned, I’ve been working at a fast food place for 3 years and I adopted bad eating habits, I gained a ton of weight, unfortunately I went from normal-ish weight to morbidly obese, my parents love to ridicule my weight and they think shaming me will make me want to change my eating habits but in reality it just makes me want to never be around them.
I met my boyfriend about 5 months ago through a mutual friend on Snapchat, we would video chat and call daily, I became REALLY attached to him, one of the things I loved about him was how he tried to make me feel better when I would go through hard times with my family, he was basically my vent outlet. We started hanging out together about 2 months ago, since both of our houses are pretty chaotic, we usually just drive around or go to a park and just talk about random things, then he changed. 2 weeks ago when I got in his car, he suddenly started laughing and I asked him what was he laughing about while laughing myself (HIS LAUGH IS SUPER CONTAGIOUS!) and he said he just found it funny how his car shakes when I hop on, I was shocked and I just responded with “oh”.. that immediately killed the mood that day. I did let it slide since it was a one time thing but yesterday he invited me to a burger place and when we got in his car to go home, he mentioned how surprised he was that my jeans haven’t bursted yet even though they look like they’re about to burst.
He was the only person that has ever been my vent outlet, he made me feel happy and confident and now I’m starting to feel insecure even being with him now. I’m not sure if I’m the problem since he’s probably just trying to be funny with his fat jokes but it hurts me that now I have to put up with him and my family. I don’t know what to do.
TL;DR
I have a Asian and very strict family that constantly oppresses me, my boyfriend who has been really supportive and made me feel confident suddenly is starting to make fat jokes and I don’t know how to react.
