Ok well sometimes is hard to say the truth but i think some of us will be dead if we really say that yes, you are fat. So what's the best thing to say besides comfortably just saying "no, you are not darling"?

my dad flatly tells my mum..no you cant but that top you would look awful in it with your belly. bearing in mind shes a size ten with the smallest tummy after quitting smoking, and for her age looks fantastic. she doesnt mind one bit and has even laughed it off. my partner is possibly the perfect size, shes not really thin and shes not fat, i absolutely love how she looks but she disagrees with me. i told her i dont want a barbie i want you at least i have somethin to grab onto and cuddle up with not a bag of bones. some people no matter what you tell them will always think they are fat anyway

That is so true. I have friends like that too. Sometimes we are just so envious with their figure and yet on the other hand they are complaining. I wish I could just slap them sometimes.. haha. Perhaps some people are never grateful enough! thanks for your input!

I think if somethig doesnt look good or hide that well you should tell then . I have seen way too many people who look really bad . We all could use a little advice from time to time . I am a bigger girl and i know what looks good and what i can get away with . My fiance always tells me when i look good too ;) there was this one time he hated this one outfit i had on, but its not bc it showed off or what not he just did not like the colors . I even tell him if i hate something he has on . I hated and still hate his brown pants and hide them LOL.

Being fat is really doesnt matter in a relationship. Yet people want to look good for each other and thats why they want to be as fit as they can or as beautiful as they can for their partner. I was fat myself with 105 kgs, However I wasnt engaged with anyone or had any girlfriend people never said that I am fat, yes my father did but i took it as a positive remark. The best way to tell them that they are not fat even if they are, is to just smile and kiss them on their cheeks and say I love you for who you are and not how you look , make them feel your love themselves deep inside their heart and minds that yes, you love them. There is no need to tell them what they look like and change them like that. Just make them feel that you are really that person who would always be with them. Actually this feeling comes from insecurity of the other. The other partner must think that they would loose their love because of their obesity or what so ever the reason it maybe which shows their negative feature outside in a relationship.

That is a very good insight. A person shouldn't feel insecure just because their outlook doesn't look beautiful. thanks for your reply!

It's really hurting to hear when someone, specially your partner tells you that you are fat. Maybe, you could tell someone "you're chubby and cute" (LOL)

i know truth really hurts but for me it is much better to be frank than pretend that you like his/her figure.

I will never be able to figure out what's the intention of asking that question. You will not get any problem if the truth is your partner is not fat (or overweight). However, if she does, I will ask her back "what do you think? I wanna know what you think about yourself first before answering your question. But I promise to answer it afterward". Then you see what she say about it. Most probable that she will say that she think she is fat. Then, you can say gently that you are agree with her, but try to use word "overweight" rather than "fat" although she was using the word "fat" before. After saying that, just make sure that you comfort her by saying that It does not matter to you, you never have a thought in mind to ask her to loose weight, and you will always support her in any decisions she made in case she decide to loose weight. If she decide to do that, make sure that you give your best to support her.
