Is it horrible for me to think/feel this way?
My boyfriend just recently told me that he no longer finds me to be physically attractive - the reasons being that I have put on a little weight and I have moderate acne (these are both very true and valid). This obviously makes me so sad, especially because in the past he has told me that I am perfect just as I am and he loves me no matter what and I'll always be beautiful yada yada. So now I feel like I've been lied to. Now I am beginning an exercise/dieting routine and am trying different things for my acne, but in the meantime am wearing foundation to cover it up as best I can.
So basically this is how I am feeling. I want to make these things better for him, I really do. But at the same time I am so hurt. I don't want to get intimate with him at all, and by his logic he shouldn't want to either, if he doesn't even find me attractive. But then again, I feel like once I am pretty again, I won't want to get intimate with him, because I feel like he won't deserve it. If he doesn't love my body as it is now, why should I let him love it when it's perfect? Regardless of my physical appearance it is still me, the girl he claims to love. I feel like a ***** for feeling this way, but I can't see myself ever making love to him again.
Thoughts? Thanks everyone.

Dont listen to most answers you see here.. They dont know you & your boyfriend... Some of the people who comment here are single & maybe hates the opposite sex for some bad past experience they had...!
My advice is understand how men see you as a woman. Dont compare how you look at him to the way he looks at you.. Us men will give you so many nice compliments, no matter how bad you could look..! But atleast your boyfriend has been honest about how he see you at the moment. & even you agree that you need to improve your looks.
So dont feel down, do your execises, make-ups etc & try to improve your looks & he will starts to fancy you again... As a man we all want our girl to look pretty. If you understand the fact your needs are different to his then it would help...
So as long as you both love each other you should try to work things out.. Its very understandale to get upset for what he says, it sounds harsh but atleast the guy has been honest with you, & as a woman looking good is a must..! So work on it girl... All the best..!

He ought to be attracted to what's on your heart, not your face. Bodies change, always, but who you are will (for the most part) be the same for life. If he just casually stated that you're no longer attractive but it doesn't bother him or make any difference in the way he feels about you, well kudos for having a candid boyfriend who should really learn some etiquette. But if he seemed to be genuinely bothered by your physiological changes, he doesn't deserve you for your personality of your good looks, which I'm sure you've undervalued! ;)
Just remember to respect yourself and forget the poor losers who can't follow suite.

its not horrible at all.. If he really loves you he would think you're beautiful no matter what.. You gained a little bit of weight and got a bit acne, so what? happens to everyone sometimes.. theres one girl i absolutely love and she knows it, shes my best friend but she doesnt like me the way i like her, but still nothing awkward in our friendship ( im a dude ) i find her beautiful no matter what.. She gained a bit of weight, she lost a bit of weight, she has acne sometimes, but i dont care shes still the most beautiful girl ive ever seen.. he should feel so about you too..
He obviously goes by look since he didnt find you attractive anymore.. Its the inside that counts! in my opinion he doesnt deserve you, but follow your heart, thats my advice!

I think your right to feel the way you do, your nicer then me because if he told me that i'd tell him he know where the door is. Theres a saying " if you cant love me at my worse you dont deserve me at my best" so i think you should consider if he hes really worth your love

Don't do those things for him, be sure to do them for you. If he really loved you he would manage to find you just as physically attractive now as before. I wouldn't have sex with a guy who rejected me like that either.

hun . almost the same exact thing happened to me . it's perfectly natural for you to feel that way.
If he won't love you for how you are now , then why should you love him ? if he's gonna be picky then let him walk . he doesn't deserve you anyways :) be strong
