Hi everyone. So I, 22 m and my girlfriend 19 f Have been dating for around a year now. She had previously opened up to me about her past with an eating disorder, said it was the worst time of her life with her health and stuff and I empathized with her and stood with her when she broke down and everything. She said she had healed from it and is doing much better now. Now when we first started dating she was a normal weight, nothing crazy skinny nothing crazy overweight, which was fine but I prefer smaller girls; but her personality was great, she’s amazing. But now she put on a few and it’s turning me off like crazy, so I told her she should lose some weight and go back to how she was when we started dating or even a little before (around her ed time) just healthier this time. She flipped out on me, called me an asshole left my apartment and called friends and now they’re berating me. Like holy shit I just asked if she could?! Am I insane for wanting my gf to take better care of herself so that we can both be happy? She said she healed from that time so maybe I thought she could get to that weight by just going on a caloric deficit and going to Pilates or whatever, I don’t know much about eating disorders so idk what’s going through her head or why she lashed out like this. AITH?
