this is such a hard thing for me to write about. I don't want it to seem like i'm superficial at all. But let's be honest looks DO matter. Im not talking about DROP DEAD GORGEOUS looks. I just think its fair for people to keep up a nice physical appearance and maintain themselves and take care of the way they look.... and most importantly their weight. I've known my girlfriend for about 3 and a half years...for the first ....year or so we were just friends and for the rest of the time have been in a romantic relationship. We are a long distance couple...which is hard in itself. I admit we're both not perfect or gorgeous...we're just regular. But recently she's been telling me she's been putting on weight. the last time she told me this i said it didnt matter and i'd still love her no matter what she looked like...and i saw her and she really did over react. she was so tiny. she wasnt fat at all. so when she said it this time. i thought ok its nothing, n i reassured her again. but the other day she sent me "sexy" pictures of herself. and it was a complete and utter turnoff. i was really really turned off and somewhat disgusted. i don't know what to do. i dont want her to get any bigger...but at the same time i cant tell her shes fat. she already says shes fat and says shes gonna work out n eat better..of course she never does...and what if she never will??? she'll be visiting me in about 4 months. what if shes still that size? im afraid ill be disgusted and hurt her feelings and i wont be able to be intimate with her. what should i do?? has this happened to u b4? someone help:-(

I agree with you, looks do matter in a way, though not that much. But believe me, I've had an ex who was really not handsome at all, and my mom and friends were even teasing me, commenting on my choice of boyfriend. Yeah, some parts of me got discouraged bout his looks, but everytime I feel am loosing affection on him just because of his "not so appealing" physique, I tried to divert my attention on the things I love about him, his being so concerned and caring, his being so romantic, and his intelligence. I found my emotions for him somehow revived in that way.. lol

I don't know yet. But i think it will be the first that will happen when relationship become worst. So if possible try to keep your relationship hot and always on the go.
