thanks for all your contribution . i really appreciate it , it only hurts it came from him , if it was from someone else i wouldn't mind at all, i also tell him such things but in a funnya and loving way like u are fat but i dont care i like you like that but for someone to actually now say , you look old , if your sister stands next to you , they will know you are definitely older , i think he is not only sayiing it , he means it to the core

he has made other statements before like if i was abit taller , men will queue behind me , things like that is the reason some people commit suicide . i will not let him put me down , nomatter what . if you live in the uk , u prolly knw this lily allen was told she looks fat and she started thinking about surgery , this is someone that doesn't give a shit about any celebrity , my point is no matter what and how it is said there is a part of you that just feels that pain

Okay u know wut, reading from yo mails u seem to be the sensitive type and of course his words obviously have a certain impact on you.
What i say is, who do u love most, yourself or him? As there will come a time when u'll have to pick.
If he's constantly making thos type of comments, then u'd constantly be feeling bad about yoslf (heard that song by TLC - Unpretty?)
The choice is yours, but i have to be honest that i am not completely convinced he is doing it on purpose, but there are guys like that, putting their girls down to feel more secure and their way of keeping them in check.

Am confused here, you know him better so you should know exactly what he means. If he has been putting you down all along, then talk about how he makes you feel, tell him you dont like it. Or better still, develop a thick skin, people will always have something to say about your looks. What if you were in "WARRI" or "BENIN" you for just go bury yourself then. People from that area can kill with their mouth and probably dont mean to. If you cannot cope with his bad mouthing you break up with him.
Re: My Boyfriend Said I Look Old by pmdaboh(f): 2:21pm On May 17, 2007
Getting older is life. Whether your boyfriend realizes he is getting old as well, it hurts when it comes from someone you love. Now, if you are doing everything in your power to look great (hair styled, make-up, clothes that compliment your body type, etc), than you are who you are.  It was something about you that attracted him to you in the first place, so you must have had it "going on" at one point (and probably still do). 

Maybe he is attracted to someone else or is in a realtionship with someone else.  I would talk to him to try to get to the "heart" of the matter.  No one wants to be told they look old.  If you were really tired that day, perhaps you did look older than usual. 

Tell him how it made you feel and let him respond.

Best wishes!

Re: My Boyfriend Said I Look Old by Kratos(m): 2:30pm On May 17, 2007
Na wah oh

So u want to stand next to your little sister n people will see her as the elder

how do u want your sister to feel then? Otherway, He doesnt need to

mean u look older, because you are older. so don't take that to heart! I

believe you and your man are very close, hence he talks off point atimes

Does he talk alot? If yes, you shouldnt take it very serious, U r really

toni braxton, because she was told if she was taller she would have won

miss america back in the day! He is just being a boyfriend n a naughty

friend i think you should just tell him u didnt like that n he will be more

tactful next time.

take it easy dear!

grin

@Tellthem,
send me your picture and let me be the judge of whether you are looking old or looking young.
I am sure a professor in that department  cheesy

It does not matter under what condition your BF said it, it could have been more diplomatic to avoid hurting your feelings. Call him and ask him what exactly he meant.

Ok girl, time to take a good look at yourself. See what could be going wrong and start putting it right but be aware of one thing, we all grow old. There is nothing you can do about it. You can only slow down the againg process, you can't stop it and if your BF is contemplating dropping you because you are ageing, then slam his sorry ass and dump him first.

But maybe it is better to marry quick before age catches up with you (coughs)

Re: My Boyfriend Said I Look Old by tunmininu(f): 2:52pm On May 17, 2007
Hush I can imagine how u felt when he said that to you.He's so ungentlemanly and rude,how could he say to harsh words to the one he claim to love.Even if u are,he should have said it in a polite way,cos if he had,u wouldn't have felt the the way u did or u are feeling.
Anyway,it must be that u've been under stress lately,slow down honey,find time over the weekend to look after urself,look ur best whenever u want to go and see him.
Cheers cool

KPOOOM!!!
Re: My Boyfriend Said I Look Old by Nobody: 3:49pm On May 17, 2007
@ poster

I don't think you should over look this affirmation of his. take note that he made it in a situation whereby your physical attributes were being analyzed. I'll suggest you first of all think of what might have made your face look old to him. I say that because according to you, men still compliment you.

It might also be that he being closer to you, makes him see deeper and clearer than others.

Anyway I's say you didn't handle the situation in the right way. In cases like this humour is the best way to make him cleared. When he made such statement you should have confronted him indirectly by asking him what you can do to get younger.

That's my opinion anyway. I also get teased by my guy sometimes, but through joking I am always able to make him give reasons for whatever he says.

Sense of humour is the key in this type of situation. Infact it is called "self irony".

@nairalanders: i've never used a swear word in this eden, but my apologies for this one.

2 bad that internet is 4 everybody n THING!
Re: My Boyfriend Said I Look Old by skillmyman(m): 4:07pm On May 17, 2007
hi tellthem,

accept my heartfelt apologies on his behalf and u need to think really wear ur thinking cap.
human tends to move towards people that appreciates them. if u know that someone does not like u or runs u down with his/her mouth, i am sure ur reaction is to run from such a person.
I dont think u can ever appreciates someone that runs u down really because we are not created that way.
If u notice that he is always doin that, u better nail him on the cross and take to ur heels. he will forever run u down and u can never know how deeply that goes cos u lose ur confidence, ur self esteem and men, u become touchy and an introvert

pls live a free life and be free from this immature person.

be wise
Re: My Boyfriend Said I Look Old by skillmyman(m): 4:13pm On May 17, 2007
