me and my boyfriend have been doing long distance since he graduated in December and it’s been pretty tough but we’ve gotten a bit of a hang on it. however, i feel like these past few months he’s gotten really lazy. he used to be really active (1/?)

I WAS JUST IN THE SAME POSITION!! LIKE EXACT SAME!!! i had to have a serious like sit down conversation and laid it out, i was blunt and to the point (which he needed and i needed so i didn’t try to sugarcoat it), im not saying your bf is the same as mine but my bf was sort losing himself like 1 said, he’s graduating soon and so he was sort of panicking and “floating” about being in the “real real world” and he sort of got depressed over it. i basically told him how im worried about him-

(2/?) and that was something we had in common but he’s gained weight from laying in bed all day and eating junk food. i still find him attractive so that’s not the problem but just an example of how his living style has changed. when he comes and visits me, he doesn’t want to go out and would rather stay in

(3/4) our dates recently have just been going out to eat and get food. if i ask him to help me out by making the bed or something else he complains and takes forever to do it.

(4/4) i really do love him but laziness is just something that i hate in a person. i feel more like a mom than a girlfriend. im definelty going to talk to him about this but does anyone have any advice or have been in a similar situation?

Like they said above me blunt and straight and do it now don’t wait and let the habits be more habits. Just be like I’m worried about you because it sounds more like a self conscious thing (not wanting to go out and gaining weight) and just be straight and be like i can’t be with someone who doesn’t want to be better. So either he needs to set a plan and work towards it or you leave…

laid out all of the stuff on the table, eating habits, hygiene, laziness, etc etc. and said how i felt and how i felt about how the relationship was currently going / how i didn’t want to be with him if the behavior continued. I KNOW I SOUND LIKE A BITCH but it was like “hey im super fucking worried about you is there something wrong” way
