What would you do if your boyfriend was commenting on a girls picture who is either naked or in her underwear saying how hot she is, but yet takes the mick out of you and called you tubbo, and that you looked a bit slaggy for wearing a low cut top and jeans? It's really knocking my confidence now and it keeps happening. Help!

Listen to what people are saying- this is how a lot of abusive relationships start out! If, when you talk to him, he doesn't take you seriously or continues to do it, get the heck out of the relationship! There are better men out there who won't do this to you and will make you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. NO ONE should ever make you feel this way!

he's hurting you!

he shouldn't be doing that thats messing with your head.

i'd honestly sit down speak to him and tell him what he's doing and how would he like that if it was the other way round!

Of course is hurts your self esteem. That's exactly why he is doing it.

It is not about a wandering eye or an appreciation for the human forum - it is emotional abuse. Whether he could even articulate what is going on or not, he knows exactly what he is doing. Through watching unhealthy relationships (his parents, friends, grandparents or other relation), he has learned how to tear someone down and what kind of control that gives him.

I know the pattern because I lived in it. Eventually, once we had moved to an area where I had no friends and family, the emotional abuse turned into physical and sexual abuse. After I got out of the relationship, I learned that my situation was absolutely typical.

In the beginning, my particular douchebag made comments about how smart, capable, and beautiful other women were and then ridicule my art, family, work and even the music I listened to - always in a "haha you know I'm just kidding" way so that I would look totally crazy if I took it seriously, but it was serious because he was using it to push me further and further down. By the time the other abuse started, he would just outright insult me but I was so use to being cut down that I barely even noticed the slow transition.

ugh my boyfriend did something similar to that. I wanted to get my tragus pierced ( http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/69/68831/tragus.bmp ) just for me. And when i told him about it he said it was very trashy looking and how piercings are disgusting. Well little did I know that this girl who is his best friend (she moved to a different state so i have never met her) has like her entire face pierced adn she is "oh so hot" according to his comments on her pics on myspace.

That just completely pissed me off how my innocent piercing is trashy but hers are so hot.

no girl, dont take that. it means his eyes are wandering else where and he's searching for something he thinks is better. Leave him. you are a beautiful girl im sure just as i see every women but NO ONE deserves to be mistreated. his is putting you in comparasin to someone your clearly not. he is objectifying you and now its time to wander your eyes on to someone who will know how to talk to you and treat you right. men like that dont stick around faithfully.

maybe i'm just a bitter woman, but i'd dump him. of course talk to him about it, if he blows it off and keeps making rude comments then obviously he doesn't deserve you. and you don't deserve to be treated like that, no woman does.

That suggestion is just going to cause trouble. Revenge is not something that makes for a healthy relationship. It is better to directly communicate with your significant other almost always. Even if something like that doesn't blow up into something dramatic, men rarely get subtle hints, and when I say subtle, I mean something that most girls would get instantly. They just don't work like that.

As for the matter at hand:

It would be one thing if he were just commenting on other girls. That's not something to worry about on it's own. However, if he is coupling that with degrading comments about you, that is a sign of emotional and psychological abuse, whether he is doing it intentionally or not, and either way, you don't deserve it.
First, I would confront him. Ask him why he makes those comments about you (don't even approach the subject of his comments about other girls, he'll get defensive, and think you're just being jealous). If he says he's trying to help you, explain that there are other ways to do that that aren't mean and hurtful.
Second, if he doesn't seem to work on changing his ways at all, I would get the hell out of that relationship before I got to caught up in his mind games. He is not loving you the way he should be, and there ARE other people who will, no matter what he says. He's just insecure himself, and is desperately trying to keep you with him, even if it means to your detriment.

My bf and I each have our insecurities (he calls himself an "F.F." for "Fat F**k." He'll joke about my "chunka-chunk" when grabbing my tummy, but he's cute about it, not malicious. He actually likes my tummy. We both comment to each other on "Hey that guy/girl is hot," and we do watch pr0n together.

My suggestion would be to point out the guys you find attractive, and see what he does about it.

Tell him to go fuck himself. He's a dirtbag. Even if you were/are over-weight, he should never treat you so disrespectfully. If he was really concerned for your health because of your weight, he could do it in a respectful, caring way. Calling you "tubbo" is never acceptabe. Kick the douch to the curb and good ridance to him.
