My boyfriend has left himself go.

I’ll preface this and say I’m a very high maintenance pretty girl. I take care of my appearance daily. I enjoy doing this.

So, my boyfriend and I first started talking on Instagram, on his profile he had gym selfies posted, and he had a pretty fucking hot build.

When we eventfully got dirty and he took his shirt off.. he had man boobs. Literal. Man. Boobs. Annd I was internally disappointed. I’m a sucker for stronger gym bros and that’s what I thought he was..

But, I ignored it. I liked his personality, and he took care of himself in other ways.

Fast forward to two years later, we now live together. I cant shake the feeling he’s just let himself go.. It’s like he doesn’t care to impress me. (BF IS 24)

  • He never goes to the gym anymore. Occasionally, he’ll start going for a week but then it fades out to never going. Complains he doesn’t have time, too tired from work. He’s gained weight too.

  • Can’t do his own hair. He has curly hair, but you wouldn’t know that, because it’s so frizzy. I offered to pay $500 for a service to teach him how to do his hair. It’s also thinning.. I try slyly mention medication to help with balding, but he says he’d rather go bald .

  • Dresses like shit.

  • Doesn’t brush his teeth at night.

  • The only hobby he has is video games. He has friends overseas so when they are online, he’s up at 11pm hooting and hollering for hours.

  • Eats like shit. I offer to cook for him. I tell him just give me the recipes that work with your gym plan… But that’s yet to happen.

I don’t know. Other people’s looks never bothered me.. but now it does. He’s 24, and can’t take care of himself. I put so much effort into my looks, I dont think I should be seen with him.
