i posted this in relationship advice but i thought i’d be a good idea to post here as well since this is about my fp and our brains work differently kinda. 

i’ve been struggling greatly with body image. from the beginning of the relationship up until 5 months ago my partner (also my fp) was liking half naked/naked pictures of women. the last one is the one that really got to me. he knows this and has since taken accountability, apologized, and changed his behavior. i still feel resentment and the insecurity is making me depressed and i feel like i have developed worsened  body dysmorphia. the pictures he used to like were of girls with small boobs, small nipples, and big butts. pretty much all of the pictures were like this. i don’t look anything like that. it’s making me hate my body so much. i know i shouldn’t care about what someone else’s preference is, but i can’t help it when it’s the one person i’ve spent so much time and energy on. he is the one person whose opinion i care about. he is the one person who validated me and made me feel beautiful after years of being bullied and judged for my looks, weight, and body even by family. and then when the realization of what he prefers sets in all that confidence and feeling beautiful is shattered. i shouldn’t care. but how can i not? he tells me that he loves me and my body and always has for what it is but how can i believe him when he was liking that stuff even after meeting me?
