Big BoyfriendTue, Dec 6th 2005Me and my boyfriend have been dating for eight months now. He was big when i started dating him, and i don't mind that at all. I love him for him, not because of his size. However, since we have dated he has gained a lot of weight and i am concerned about his health. He told me last time he went to the doctor, the doctor said he had way high cholesterol and blood pressure. How do i tell him I'm concerned about his health without hurting his feelings or making him feel like i am criticizing him?
