I would respond with
"hahahha eff you. Bye Felicia"
I don't take kindly to that crap though.3 -
He sounds like an emotionally abusive idiot.
8 years is a long time but I think you should cut your losses and move on8 -
Here is a quote that I love, and many of us have seen before, but I think all of us need to hear:
"Sexy is not a size. Every calorie is not a war. Your body is not a battleground. Your value is not measured in pounds. You are just as beautiful as every other woman."
Of course, it really ought to say 'person'; I think we guys need this, too.
I hope you sort things out and either enlighten this person, or find someone who loves YOU for YOU.7 -
Lol, the dude is hung up on being superficial. He views what he HAS as what defines success. Move on. The longer you stay, the more inadequate he'll make you feel.

I was shocked when you said you've been together 8 years. If someone said that to me after dating three weeks, we would still be dunzo. Find someone who loves you for YOU. You are beautiful because of who you are. If he doesn't see that, that's a deal breaker.4

F* you would be my response back and never talk to him again. What an *kitten*.1

I'm getting the vibe that his head is being turned by a PYT at the gym and this is his heavy handed way fo starting the "fade". He is rationalizing his attraction to another woman by projecting on to you. Rip the bandaid off for him. "Bye Felicia".
A man who can't make a solid commitment after eight years isn't worth your time.19 -

He can't eat those. He'll get fat.
OP-he sounds like a first class douche. A lying one.... Does his gym only accept pro bikini models, in comp condition, as members? What a crock. Sounds like a bunch of excuses and wank to me.
No one deserves to be spoken to like that. Get out without wasting any more time on someone who clearly doesn't deserve you!2 -

Deal breaker.. Dude's an *kitten*.. Get away and count your blessing.2

I know I'm not the only one here who thinks you're way too beautiful to have to stoop low enough to accept someone talking that way to you. Girl, regardless of your weight, you are a prize, and any DECENT man would be lucky to have you. My boyfriend was just as proud of me at 200 pounds as he is now that I'm 155.
PM me his address-- I'll send him a bag of d!cks on your behalf.7 -
In all fairness though, it’s easy for everyone to say “I’d tell him to F-off” etc. but it’s not that cut and dry. 8 years is a long time and OP might be in love with this man. I would definitely have a conversation with him about how he hurt your feelings and how superficial his text was and go from there. It doesn't sound like he's worth your time but if you feel it's worth it, talk to him about how he made you feel.7

I was like........... I am feeling that i'm am not in your life at the moment, I am feeling that you have no time for me and and i'm not important.
Wow, and that was his response?
Thank him for his honesty.
He's saved you time bothering with him.
Imagine his response if you two had married and you gained fifty pounds with your pregnancy? A swimmer in the 2016 Olympics gained 50lbs with her pregnancy. You can't get much fitter than an Olympic swimmer. Even they struggle with weight.
You should go to they gym and date one of those swoll bros who happen to like their ladies on the jiggly side. Then make sure he sees a pic of the new guy.
Or, better yet, move on with your life and choose a nice guy this time.5 -
8 yrs??????
Do you have kids?
Is there a ring?
8yrs dating???????1 -
OUCH!! Sounds like it is time for you to move on to better things in your life.
Keep in mind you can't change a person like that!!1 -
Well, if he were a good PT or a good boyfriend he would realize the only way you are going to be happy with a lifestyle change where you are "working hard and staying toned" (or however he phrased that) is if it is what you want for you, not what he wants for you.
I am also not sure how I feel about "wanting a girlfriend I can be proud to show off". I value myself as more than some trophy to my husband, and I think he values me as more too or else I wouldn't have married him.
8 years is a long time, but some of this would really worry me.

Let me be blunt, he's as "deep as a teaspoon"
Is that what you really want?
