Trouble forgiving one thing - need perspective
I talked to him about it yesterday and he agreed that if I go over thete again (because my friend is moving another hour away and I might only get to see him at bonfires there) he'll stay with me, not abandon me to go "suck [his friend]'s ass" and to think before he says anything about women's bodies. I told him that usually when guys say women are too big that means the guy has a tiny dick (he replied "Okay? What are you trying to say?" and I said "I'm just saying ") and that, if he and Mike ever insult women's bodies like that in front of me again, they can "go f*ck a guy's ass, maybe that will be tight enough for you!". I think he gets it now.

I just realized how harsh that all sounded in writing. To clarify, I said it lightly so he knew I wasn't serious about him doing that to the guy.

Sounds good that you stood up for yourself.. on the same note tho, yeah you probably have to learn how to let things go a little easier. It is a flaw of mine as well.
You say he's head over heels for you, but does he treat you nice? If not your reaction this late is reasonable. If he does--remind yourself how good he is, before discriminating weeks later over something he apologized for.
Yes, he is very sweet to me - that's actually one of the reasons this shook me up was that it was so unlike him. But he is exceptionally kind to me ![]()

Then when he came in I confronted him about it and he said "Well, it's the gross, ugly truth." This made me cry harder and I told him, "So you think my body is gross and ugly? Thanks a lot!" I told him what the guy said was B.S. and he backtracked and said he took everything the guy said with a grain of salt. I tried to forgive him for this but even weeks later it still bothers me because my boyfriend is The One otherwise. I talked to him more about it the next day and he blew up at me and told me to move on. But those words are tattooed in my mind now...
"It's the gross, ugly truth." I guess I just needed to vent and have other people give their perspective on all this.
Your bf sounds very immature. Most guys are secure enough to not refer to female anatomy as "disgusting". Your bf agreeing with what the guy said is insecure of him. Maybe they are just too emotionally immature. I have had good guy friends/bfs at that age and they didn't refer to female anat as disgusting, more likely they wanted gfs and to get laid. So it is odd to here guys say it disgusting unless maybe they are gay.
It sounds like an insecurity of youth. Your bf may have agreed since it was a "peer pressure" type thing where he felt he had to agree? That would be immature on his part. If his truly disagreed,he should have spoke his mind.
Well he never had a girlfriend before me, but I know that doesn't excuse this. But I told him the other day he had made me self conscious and that every time he touched me I felt like I was gaping and saggy. He said, "You need to stop thinking that. It isn't true." So I guess in that way he showed me he didn't think that of me, although I know all guys lie about things like this. Then more recently I was venting to him about something and I admit I got a little out of control, and he started saying I needed to control my emotions. I told him that time and the one I'm discussing in this thread were the only times I emoted like that to him and I had a right to after he insulted my body, and he said "Fine. I'm an a**hole and a piece of s**t and won't come over tonight!" We made up and he came over anyway and we were fine. But now it's like he's mad almost that I don't want to go back to the guy's house. He just said, "Fine. That's your choice."
