Fat Rant Friday

So when we went home and talked it all out he did tell me that he is insecure about his body. He’s been overweight his whole life never thought he’d have abs etc etc he worked out 6 days a week but ate like shit and was full of fat logic. Then he met me and i gained a lot of weight from us dating then i decided to lose it -and he joined me. So now we are a big hyper focused on athletics, fitness people and workouts. I show him videos of lifts and works outs that so happen to be from men. I’ll show him IG stories of Henry Cavills workouts or Dwayne Johnsons cheat days. I’ll say things like ‘well of course every girl in the villa hes the most attractive guy there’ when watching love island. All these things that he had no bad reaction to were making him insecure. Having those same thoughts in his head of ‘she wants a big bulky dude she never said that before, she said she didnt want me to get a six pack but these men have a six pack was she lying? Was she just waiting to cheat on me (hes been cheated on a lot) why did she lie? Am i not who she wants?” And that STUNNED me that he felt that way - he always seemed so cool confident and collected ‘above it all’ i had no idea i was hurting him.

So yea. That’s why he exploded at the bar. He had been in a place i had no idea and it doesn’t excuse it but it just explains it.
