[24m] struggling with feederism and partner’s [24f] weight loss – need advice

Delta9:
You don't need a therapist. It's completely normal to feel less attracted to someone when they change away from your preferences. You're basically getting the bait and switch right. She was one way when you found her and now she's different.
The problem is, people change. If you stay in a relationship with anyone long enough they will eventually become unattractive.
Maybe it's better just to avoid long term relationships. It would be nice if they had an automatic end date that you could just not renew - Like letting your Netflix subscription run out.

And yes, many of us here have heard the "you're disgusting because you like fat people" from some currently or formerly fat person we were with.
You will not get any extra credit for loving her when she was fat and no one else would.

I mean if you love them you'll stay with them. Peak fetish is nothing compared to actually having a connection with your partner. Be happy for them!


This is true. However, I fear they may be incompatible. He seems to put too much value on her appearance, and she seems to be both insecure and perfectly fine with cheating.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting to be bigger. She doesn't want to gain weight, and that is perfectly fine. It's one thing if all OP wanted was to feed her sometimes, but it seems he also wants her to change her body for his pleasure as well.

On the flip side of this, it's not cool for her to jump to the whole "I'll cheat on you" response. I get that she doesn't want to indulge his fetish, but the way she responded shows that she isn't trustworthy either. They might have found a compromise for his fetish, but there isn't a way to compromise trust.

I don't know what OP said to her or how OP said it, but it is clear as day that she has no interest in indulging this kink. OP would be wise in learning from this situation. You can date non-kinksters, but there's a way to do it. And this whole thing has been a train wreck.

OP, I cannot overstate the importance of talking to a therapist about your situation. From this small window you've given us into your inner world, I can see deep-rooted insecurities, shame, and maladaptive traits that will not serve you in navigating love and kink. Until you sort that shit out, you'll get nothing but repeats of this situation.

I just saw your initial solution and it is by far the best route. Things seem shaky outside of just the feederism issue with some of her comments as well. Couples therapy is the best route IMO. Theres nothing wrong with both of you wanting it to work out!!! Also remember to consult people outside of the fetish!


Well, there is something wrong with him wanting it to work out, she is harmful to his mental health. And that's not going to change.

BoopieBop:
Well for a long standing relationship its not just so easy to drop it and say you're wrong no you're wrong!! Theres literally nothing wrong with purposing therapy. If she rejects that then it is something completely different.


Yeah, sometimes you can work shit out. Sometimes you can't. It depends on how willing both parties are. There's fault on both sides. Walking away is an option, but so is working it out.

This can be looked at on several levels. I think counseling with BOTH present is the only thing that might work. What I am seeing is a girl who now feels suddenly much more attractive and love the attention she is getting from other guys. The fact her boyfriend is "disgusting" for liking her fatter is an excuse for her to "move on". If she really does not understand his preferences and still loves him she will make an attempt to understand him better. Perhaps she is afraid that this is a "control" issue that he wants her fatter simply because he does not want any other guys looking at her. That happens as well. She has to understand that this fetish is very unlikely to go away and they will both have to compromise on some level. If you truley love someone then that is possible.
