Brad got mad at me this morning because the gym dude told him his fist got swallowed up by his gut and he needed to work on that. "Why didn't you teeeeeell meeeee?" Umm... Seriously?
I'm actually pretty sure that I did tell him once and he got all sad and hurt about it AND he disagreed with me, so I vowed never to say anything again.
Also, he fussed at me last night because I was doing dishes. He said if I stopped, he would do them in the morning. Everything looks exactly as I left it last night. Uh huh.
Next time he asks, deflect it back on him and ask if your ass looks big in the pants you're wearing. Bet that'll shut him up pretty quick! (And no, I'm not saying your ass looks big, just that 99.9999999% of guys hate the question!)
I usually say something like, I love your body. Sometimes I'll ask him what he thinks or I ignore him altogether because I don't like to encourage this body obsession thing.
No hidden meaning or admonishment. I'm just sorry about the situation. It's hard to know what exactly to tell him and what to do. Does he WANT some help now? Or keep doing the gym and that's it? Should you be honest in the future, or tread more lightly? oof.
I'm really looking forward to dumping $1500 into our stupid truck.

Thank you for adding this! I did not intend for this entire thread to be about Brad's belly.
Gault- I was afraid you were going to flame me, which maybe I deserved for being honest at one point, which wasn't even my original point. He's not fat. He does have a belly, but really it was about how this is my fault that he didn't know.
My randoms include excitement/anxiety over our home inspection that is scheduled for Saturday. Also, I have a lot of frustration from pain because I think I've developed tendonitis in my knee - from running a lot this weekend and enjoying FI a little bit too much since he's returned.
My ears feel full/clogged and I'm seeing my doc tomorrow. This is the first time I've had any kind of ear infection or disruptance and it freaked me out a bit. Then I grew some balls and made the doc appt.
I'm excited to see where this relationship with bf will head. I've never felt like this with anyone before. We started off casual, but a few months in I had that "I just know" feeling.

Forget what you said - I'm all pinch-faced about the gym dude. I've long suspected that the gym industry is less about health and strength and more about making you feel bad about yourself so you keep paying them.
My randoms are mostly whines today. I've just been bummed out about everything lately, the house is a mess and I don't care, blah blah blah. Work is killing my spirit faster than ever. I've skipped a lot of workouts and am eating like crap. Brad and I can be belly buddies.
And I really need to get laid. We've been in kind of a slump lately.
I was just at the barn and I'm so incredibly jealous of my sister I'm almost to the point of anger over it. We finally moved the horses because hers was getting dangerous and we needed them in an environment where they could be ridden alone. We were having to coordinate riding together for over a decade because hers would freak out if left alone. Now that we're in this gorgeous new facility she and her horse are having all these great lessons and she's basically getting a second try with him. My horse has such bad arthritis that most days we can just walk. I feel like I wasted the better years of my horse's life because of always having to wait for her and now we're getting left behind. I miss college when I had my horse with me and he was young and sound and we were working every day.
I don't want to admit that he's as old as he is. I'm not ready for that yet, and neither is he.
