My boyfriend sometimes asks me to sit on his lap when we're at home just relaxing and hanging out, but I am always so worried that I am too heavy for him and will hurt him. Im too scared to say that to him and make it awkward. What tips/recommendations do you guys have?

Thanks!

    If you sit on his lap.. and he asks you to do it again after the first few times.. He probably doesn't have any problem with your weight. Don't sweat it!

    just sit on him :). Its ok, unless he is the size of an Oompaloompa you will be ok. It takes quite a bit to hurt someone simply by sitting on them ....

    he would probably not ask you to if he was scared to break :)

    Sit on his lap. If you get heavy - which you will eventually regardless of whether you weigh 100 pounds or 300 - he'll tell you to get up.

    They're tougher than you think :wink: Even at my heaviest, which is more than you are at the moment, I was sitting on hubby's lap.

    Aside from that, I know nothing of your relationship, but will say, if you aren't comfortable being honest with him, you may want to re-evaluate the relationship.

    I too always felt a little uncomfortable when my hubby would ask me to sit on his lap because of my weight, so I just told him I thought I was too heavy to sit on him, he told me he would let me know if he was not comfortable. Other than having to move an arm or rearrange another body part or 2 (the boys) we have always been fine. Just be honest and open you will feel better and not have hurt feelings.

    My husband used to picked me up when we were dating. I was simply stunned because I thought I was just too big, lol. He would pull me into his lap and just hold me there, still does. So go ahead, sit and snuggle.
