This 26-year-old girl has a boyfriend who is 28, and next month, they will be celebrating their 2.5-year anniversary.

They have talked about getting married and having children together in the not-so-distant future, but her boyfriend has yet to propose to her.

Throughout this year so far, she has mentioned to her boyfriend that she’s getting really sick and tired of waiting around for him to propose.

They live with one another, she cleans and cooks for him, and she expects there to be a ring on her finger by now.

“This conversation has come up many times, and this last time he said he plans on proposing soon, but today he said he won’t propose to me until I lose weight,” she explained.

“He said he wants me to have a thigh gap. He’s been making comments about my weight our entire relationship and always saying he wishes I had a thigh gap. He says everything else about me is perfect except for my weight.”

“He says he doesn’t want to marry me unless I’m skinny because he doesn’t want to be trapped and stuck with a fat woman. I told him I’ve been losing weight, and I plan on being 145 by the end of the year. I told him if I have a wedding date to look forward to, I can be excited to shed the weight quickly, but he won’t even give me any shred of compromise here.”

That entire conversation came to an end, though, when her boyfriend just decided to go to sleep instead of talking with her more.

So, she’s left feeling that there is no solution, and she feels deeply hurt by what her boyfriend had to say to her.

For reference, she’s 5’6″ and weighs 165 pounds. She does consider her body to be on the muscular side, and she does admit that she has a bit of extra weight around her stomach.

She used to weigh 190 pounds, but she began going to the gym at 18 and was able to drop some weight that way.

Back when she first met her boyfriend, she was 175 and did not have as much muscle. She honestly lost 10 pounds since she began dating her boyfriend, and she’s much leaner now too.

She does not consider herself to be fat by any means, so she’s really at a loss as to how her boyfriend can look at her and think she needs to lose weight.

“I feel like after waiting all this time for him to propose and doing everything for him at home, just to have him say this to me is so hurtful,” she said.

“I’m a very healthy individual but have some fat but mostly muscular. He is 5’11″, 220lb, with a big belly, and expects me to have a thigh gap. He also said he doesn’t show his affection to me in public because he’s not proud to show me off. I’m a beautiful and loving woman, and I’m so hurt to have my boyfriend of 2.5 years tell me he won’t marry me unless I lose 30 pounds.”

“What do I do? Do I stay and lose the weight, then be unhappy with a proposal from a man who only loves me conditionally? Do I leave him? I don’t want to break up with him, and before this, I was so sure about him, but now I think to myself: why should I be with a man who I have to lose weight for and a man who I have to beg to propose to me?”
