Hey -
I'd like to thank you in advance for reading this. And if you have any thoughts, I could really use some advice.
I've been in a relationship with my beautiful girlfriend for well over a year now. I am in love and I don't want it to end anytime soon.
I used to think it was so great not having to try and bridge the gender gap. We understand each other so well, partially because we're both female. But both being relatively young and attractive girls in a relationship with each other has created a problem, a competition of sorts. We're ooth constantly worried about our weight. Neither of us is by any means fat (we both weigh under 120), its just an obsession of ours, typical of most 20 year old college girls.
The problem is: I weigh 10 pounds less than she does and it kills her. She feels like she can't keep up, she's not as good as me, she's fat. She doesn't want to have sex anymore because she doesn't like being naked in front of me. Every time I look at her I know that my presense is hurting her because she feels overweight next to me.
What can we do? I can't stop working out and put on 10 pounds to even it out - and I shouldn't have to (or should i?). I don't want to break up, but she's not getting any better.
If anyone has experienced this before, I'd love to talk to you. Thanks for reading.
Lauren
