My [21F] boyfriend [20M] for a month said I should go to the gym and tone up

The way he said it made him sound incredibly rude, like I would totally feel bad if my boyfriend said that to me after just one month! I don't know if I'd break up with him, like if it was a one time thing I think I'd tell him how hurt I was and ask him not to say those kinds of things like that.

I want to give him the slight benefit of the doubt on the off chance he was raised like that and just doesn't have a filter, or isn't known to be the best with words, you know? But ultimately OP knows him better than us and she should know if he's always like this in other areas of the relationship or if it was just terrible phrasing.

Hope I don't get downvoted for not telling her to dump him immediately after a one time thing. Like, most people come here with terrible issues that can't really be solved but I don't feel this is one of them, and people can change and better themselves all the time so I wouldn't say he's a lost cause just yet.

/u/Rapsodya, is he like this all the time? You don't give much info on your post so it's hard to judge whether you should leave or not from this thread alone.
