AITA if I gently tell my bf that he’s getting fat? He goes the gym every day for like 4 hours daily but he is still bigger? I too take a lot of pride in my appearance and gym often but my progress is showing? How do I say this without being rude

I guess be sure it’s not intentional. Some people overeat to help themselves build muscle (bulking). One option is to identify the cause and suggest a solution without telling him he’s fat. Could it be his diet? You could say something like “I was thinking we could both start eating healthier together.”

He is probably building muscle faster than he is losing fat, it’s not anything too serious. Maybe ask to do more cardio with him or figure out if he’s bulking, it could be that too.

He’s prolly bulking, ask him questions about how he trains and you’ll find out he’s in a bulk. He’ll cut eventually and it’ll be fine. He won’t get fat trust

If you want to tell him, you can let him know that you’re concerned about his weight gain. You can let him know it’s important to you that he works on losing weight (which might involve going to a doctor to determine it’s not due to some other issue than just the exercises he’s doing and his diet). But YNTA for caring about his appearance/weight if you make sure he knows you want to support him.

He swims a lot for cardio, which I understand how important fueling is, but I just don’t think his diet it’s right. (We are LDR currently, would cook for him if this was the problem!)

He swims for about an hour daily! I think it might be over training? Idk what to think anymore 😭🤩
