I have a skinny boyfriend

My husband weighed less than me when we got married (In spite of being 6-7 inches taller than me) Never bugged me because that's the man I married and wanted to be with. Didn't bug him because I was the woman he married and wanted to be with.

See what I'm saying here?

No?

Well.

Get your mind right. If it was a problem he would have left already, so relax before he gets it in his mind that maybe he should leave.

This.

I couldnt date a guy skinnier than me

geuss I am shallow

Is it shallow or your preference in men? We all have a preference of what is attractive to our eyes.

for yeai would only date men the same height or shorter than me. Ive been with mu husband for 8 yrs now and he is a good 4" taller.

im 5'6 168 lbs and my boyfriend is 5'6 and is 120 soaking wet. love him to death though!

My husband is super skinny always has been 6ft and 150lbs but it use to bother me that couldnt fit into his boxers but now i really dont care, but now we just joke about it We are just bulit diffrent even when I weighted 130 I was still wider

Ugh same here. I know that feel so well. My boyfriend is skinny and very toned and muscular. He started dating me when I was about 200lbs (I'm at 160lbs now). A lot of people were shocked that I was able to get a fit boyfriend at my size. He loves me no matter what size I am. But I can't help but feel so insecure at times because there's a lot of women going after him that are skinnier than me and probably wondering why he's with a chubby girl like me and not with another girl that's as fit as him.
He didn't want me to lose weight but I'm doing it so that I feel healthier and more confident with myself when I'm with him and less threatened by the girls that go after him. >_<

I am 216 pounds at 5'6". My amazing other half is 145 pounds at 5'5".
Sometimes I feel myself being completely uncomfortable with this.
I love my boyfriend more than ANYTHING. He has always been there to support me and will love me no matter what size I am at.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this issue... and do you have a problem with it.
I know all of this is probably just in my head but I feel huge next to him and I find myself being totally self conscious of this in public..... HELP!

What exactly is the issue?
What excatly do you have a problem with?
It sounds to me lke the problem is you and your attitude towards your body.
If thats the case youre in the right place to do something about it, but dont make it about him. That wont end well.

My fiance was 150lbs at 6'1 when we met and after 5 years and A LOT of my cooking he is a healthy 180lbs

Feed your men ladies, feed them a lot and often!!

I think if y'all love each other, it shouldn't really matter.

This!

My husband was about 225 when I started in on this journey, and I was 299. He's just under 6' and I'm 5'6-7 (depending on the dr's office apparently..) so I've always felt weird and uncomfortable being so huge compared to him. But I love him so I tried not to make a big deal out of it and act like it never mattered. It never mattered to him. Now I'm at 222 and he's at 206, and I still feel big, but mentally it helps knowing I'm almost to weighing less than him!

When my boyfriend and I started dating, he was about 130 at 5'8" and I was 180 also at 5'8". Now were both up about 50 lbs (That's why I'm here). He holds all of his weight in his gut...he's built like Popeye...I fell for the forearms Haha.

When we first started dating it felt a little weird mostly because of the height...my last boyfriend was 6'5". But I've been with this guy for 6 years now...Our biggest issue is getting him to wear boots out so I can wear heels and not tower over him.

We still love each other no matter what. Our only deal breakers are him going bald or me to stop shaving my legs :laugh:

My boyfriend is 6'1 and maybe 170-180 lbs, but he looks very skinny, one of the things I hate most about my weight is that I am bigger than him He eats soooo much and gets away with it, I mean the amounts of food he will eat on a daily basis still blows my mind. I have suffered from binge eating disorder binged on copious amounts of food and it's still less than his typical eating. I don't know how he does it.

I'm am 5'4 (on a good day) at about 219 lbs right now. I was 185 lbs when I got married to my 6'3 170 lbs husband. So, he's always been thinner than I am, but he truly doesn't care. His in-laws "joke" that I eat all his food. He's just got one of those super speedy metabolisms combined with a very active job and I have thyroid issues and a desk job. I work very hard to watch every mouthful of food while he eats entire bags of M&Ms without a thought. Once I got over my jealousy of this fact, and he started to eat the M&Ms at work instead of in front of me, we've had no issues. It also took a bit to get him accustomed to not getting me food as gifts (that one was really tough).

As far as the judgement from others, let's just say I'm trying (this is a work in progress). The first step is realizing that maybe they aren't actually judging, or even looking for that matter. Most of the world doesn't give a crap what I'm doing. The second step is deciding that even if they are looking and judging, I can choose not to care. My motivation for losing weight more has to do with wanting to be more active, healthier, and less lazy, and less to do with public perception. Judgey people are judgey people. and if they don't judge us for our weight discrepancy, they'll just find something else not to like...our age difference, our tattoos, our clothing choices, whatever. They can suck it.

I think a lot of these concerns stem from society's expectations of how men and women are "supposed" to look. Most guys, I'm sure, if asked, would tell you that they don't mind at all. Some even find it sexy if their significant other weighs more than them. I'm a fairly skinny guy, at 5'8'' and 140 lbs. My fiancee is two inches shorter than me and roughly 50 lbs heavier. I love her body and I think we both do a pretty good job of letting each other know we find each other sexy.
