    I'm really sorry to hear that.
    I hope that in time things get easier and you find happiness.

    Sounds like she is extremely insecure and felt ashamed of her body. That is nothing to do with you, we are funny like that and it's a vicious circle if unhappy with out bodies. It does make us push people away, especially those closest to us.

    Has she (or you) gained weight over the past while? Has something happened in her life like bereavement or loosing a job etc? Has anything changed in your relationship or is she jealous of you with someone else or have you given her reason to think you would/could cheat? You don't need to answer here but seriously think about the answers to those.

    Tell her you want to talk honestly. Reassure her how much you do love her and want to work things out. Do it away from home but somewhere quiet. Tell her you want her to be completely honest what's going on with her and you as a couple.

    I think she is pushing you away for a reason rather than because she doesn't love you.

    Would you tell your partner to go get what you need elsewhere because you feel a bit overweight?

    Sorry didn't see your update.

    Best of luck to the two of you.

    Feel I have to answer this. I'm not a big girl by any means, but at times if I put on a few pounds and my clothes feel tight then I don't think the guy will find me attractive (when I'm in a relationship). I think a lot of women are the same. I wouldn't tell him where to go but I would feel self conscious.

    going from your first post I think your gf had reasons for this break up and it was foreseeable. advice would be to do some self reflection, sounds to me you' re not the best empathic person regarding women.

    We all feel self conscious at one time or another. That's 100% normal! But there's a long way between that and telling your partner to go sort out their urges elsewhere.
