you deserve WAY better!!! it doesnt matter what size you are you are still a human being who should be treated with respect and dignity. you would be better off alone, at least if you are lonely nobody is messing with your head or telling you crap to make you feel worse. trust me, I had an ex like yours who used to go on about his exes, in the end I dumped him, yes it still hurts to think of the crap I left him say to me and I deeply regret leaving him sooner, but the way you have to look at it is you can continue to waste your time on him or you can cut your losses NOW and make yourself free to find someone better. good luck and remember you are so much more than what he says x

You are taking it all on yourself. If these ex girlfriends were so great why isn't he with them any more? And you probably look fine but he is critical, which is his problem.

Try to think about what YOU want and whether he meets your needs, rather than just whether you meet his needs.

You could also work on your self-esteem and then if you get to believe in yourself more you will care less what others say. There are self-help books, things on the internet and there's counselling, all of which could help.

He's pathetic and you should leave him. Your insecurities are only feeding his ego, since he knows you'll stay with him no matter how many insults he throws in your face. Get a guy your own age. What kind of dumbfuck tells his girlfriend that if her boobs were bigger she'd be more sexier? Dump him. Don't waste another breath on him. Who is he to judge anyway? You're so much younger than him, if he wants even younger then something is wrong with him. You need to get it through your head that is he D-I-S-R-E-S-P-E-C-T-F-U-L and the more you jump around him, asking him how sexy he finds you, the more he will degrade you because he gets a kick out of it. End it.

A reader, anonymous, writes (31 May 2012):

Without being rude, to be honest he's 40, how greater shape can he be in to put you down who's in your 20's?! He says these things to you perhaps not to hurt your feelings but to give you "Kick up the backside" to change aspects of your appearance, non the less he isn't just saying this lashing out, he must think this about you for those to be the immediate words he used to describe you, not to mention comparing you to his ex's. Which clearly means he doesn't love you for who you are and is with you hoping you will become someone he will love. He sounds like a very selfish person and to be honest there is plenty of men out there who will love you for who you are because they're genuine and are looking for genuine love with a woman they have things in common with and get along with and not because they look like a barbie doll that makes them feel good when they walk down the street. I personally think you can do better! By all means if you aren't happy with the way you are then change for yourself, but don't change just to suit him or make him love you, he should love you regardless but clearly he doesn't and for that I say he isn't worth the time you're wasting with him.

To be honest I didn't read your message, just the title. If you two have a great relationship and all his exes were more attractive than you, that just shows how much he loves you and that's wonderful. However if he's insulting you and comparing you to his exes, then he's a jerk you need to dump. If you're unhappy with your weight, you can lose weight. I've seen friends done it. Size 20 to size 4 so it's not an excuse. If he's calling you ugly, know that it's not true and he's the one with self esteem issues. Even boyfriends will belittle their girlfriends to make themself feel better. Find someone new, respectful, and deserving of you.
