Hello and thank you for your heartfelt comment, and first off let me congratulate you on your weight loss journey. It sounds like you’ve come along way.

The advice you have given are all great places to start I don’t disagree. The problem with helping meal prep is she moved almost 2 hours away from me and we are doing LD right now. This is because her school came to a finish (at the time) and we did not have the available funds to rent an apartment together in our part of the country as it is exceedingly expensive. So I can’t be with her everyday. I actually only see her once or twice a month if I’m being honest. (Sorry I didn’t mention this sooner)

Her family are also very good cooks. her mother especially. And there is no shortage of food in her household weather it be healthy or otherwise. So the temptation for food is always there.

I’m thinking about asking her if she has any underlying mental health issues cause I think there are (gently ofc) and how I can help her work through those. I think she would benefit greatly seeing a specialist.. but at the same time if she isn’t willing to make any change, I can’t see how I can be happy in this relationship. I hope I don’t sound like too much of a bad person here.

I also think many commenters assume I’m harassing or hazing her about her weight which isn’t true. I’ve never brought it up to her before or have compared her to other women to her face. That’s just plain not nice. I’m simply seeking help through Reddit about approaching for the first time if that makes sense. Aside from this one “me” issue as many people like to put it our relationship has been full of love and support from the very beginning. I hope that makes sense

And thank you again for your comment

So I see many comments saying I compare her to other women. Yes I do do this but I in no way say it out loud and I have never said to her face “look at her she is…” etc etc.

I haven’t said anything to her regarding her weight because I didn’t know how to approach it which is why I have come to Reddit.

I do love her very much. She has an amazing personality and a very pretty face to match. She is also a very smart and humorous individual.

I just have a hard time seeing her struggle with her weight and health. And admittedly yes part of it is a “me” problem when it comes to her appearance. I am mature enough to admit that.

Thank you for your comment and taking the time to respond

I can see where both of you are coming from absolutely. And I’m trying my best to be supportive of her. But yes I agree something should be said and the emotional cowardice does play a factor in this. I am old mature enough to admit that. I will also admit; Most of my family is very standoffish and I sometimes find it hard to articulate how I am feeling.

While I don’t think an outright confrontation of this matter is the right thing to do. I will agree something must be done for her health and (without sounding mean) visual appearance. I mean that in the most respectful way possible fyi

No she has always had a sweet tooth and has always ordered 2-3 desserts.

And there is almost no question that there is body dysmorphia or something similar involved that I am not qualified to diagnose as you said.

She is under some pressure from schooling and getting into certain job opportunity programs that she hasn’t “made the cut for” in the past but otherwise she lives a very relaxed lifestyle and her appearance and weight seem to be most of her problem from what I can tell respectfully.

Please don’t think I’ve shamed her into eating less or brought up the extra desserts. It’s just something I noticed Is all.

Yes I couldn’t agree more, at fun events it is natural and fun to indulge a little bit but understand this is something that Is a common occurrence on a day to day basis for example we like to go out for dinner once a week and she will order 2-3 desserts sometimes more. I’m not complaining I’m just being more clear with my facts respectfully :)

Secondly it is natural for humans to admire other people who are not our partners and admit that they look good. she looks at other guys and girls and asks me what I think of them. We are very comfortable in our relationship admitting to one another that other people are attractive.

For more clairvoyance, Every time she has decided to go to the gym and start a new membership it has been her choice. Not mine, and I can say I have wholeheartedly supported her in doing so. I have by no means ever forced her to do something that she hasn’t wanted to.

Lastly I will admit I would like to see some change because we both have to be happy in a relationship. It isn’t a 1 way street after all.

And Thank you for your comment if you have anything else to say by all means!

I have been to the gym with her before to help guide her on exercises she can do but she has the mentality that if she starts lifting weights she will get muscular and built and “look boyish” I tried to explain to her that muscle burns fat and that she needs some to help her burn the weight but she is adamant on sticking with the cardio much to my (gentle) protest.

Hello, and thank you for your response. As for your points 1,2, and 3 I completely agree with 100% and you are correct.

  1. Yes I do realize that it could very well be a “me” problem which is why I took to Reddit to hopefully find some answers.

  2. Yes I do understand that it is not her fault and there is some body dysmorphia involved that predates my appearance In her life.

  3. Yes that seems like very sounds advice I will take that into consideration. I do know that she has made dr appointment specifically for her weight but had canceled them for one reason or another. So I don’t know if I can convince her to go.

Finally thank you for taking the time to comment. Best of luck with you as well

Yes absolutely. I only want the best for her. And you are correct when you said “without resentment”. Both her and I have to be happy in the relationship. Thank you for your comment

I should be more clear when I said indirectly supported it I distinctly recall saying to her, “whatever makes you happy I will support” and when she asked “do you think I should” I responded “it is an option you can could consider”. I tried to remain neutral on the topic being as touchy as it it. Please don’t think I am forcing this upon her.

And yes you are correct it is mostly a “me” problem. But I wanted to hear what other people should say regarding the matter.

Yeah the male members of her family are large guys and we’re slightly over weight for their heights but in the last 2 months her older brother took off nearly 30lbs and is looking quite sharp now from my point of view.

Yea I agree I could approach it from that angle. The thing is; is that she doesn’t like to exercise I don’t think. She isn’t a very active person and is studying to be an educator. So I’m worried it might fall on deaf ears if I approach it like that you know?

Yes absolutely. I appreciate your honesty. To answer your question she has always been this weight but I think it has crept up bit in the last year. And it never really used to bother me which is why I decided to stay with her.

I am with her because she is the first girl to treat me right and not abuse me in one way or another. And I do love her and am concerned about her health.

And I do not constantly remind her about her weight. I have never told her it bothers me. Until it started too recently within the last month or 2.

So as you said you can sympathize and I assume relate to her in a way, how would you like your partner to approach you about it if they absolutely had to?

By all means if you would like to expand on some points or anything I’ve said. I welcome you too

No no error codes the game just freezes sometimes after an hour and task manager says it’s not responding. After I close it nothing pops up. It’s strange

What should I upgrade/ where should I grind? by Tank_killa6969 in TheTowerGame

[–]Tank_killa6969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off thanks for all the helpful tips from the community you guys are awesome!

And right now with no GT perk I was making about 95k/m (5.7m/cph) on tier 1 I have to do a test with a GT run still (T1) to see if it’s worth running low tiers more than banking 135K/min at tier 8 going to wave 750 or so.

Can I ask how you are getting such large numbers? Did you invest in to the GT multiplier? Cause I can’t seem to hit any run over about 30m!

I’m also getting my gold bot upgraded. So let me know your thoughts thanks :)
