Re: I embarrass my boyfriend...

"I always thought I was a strong confident person and now I feel defeated and pathetic." You are feeling defeated and pathetic because you HAVE been defeated and "pathetic" is what he has made you believe that you SHOULD be feeling.

"Am I blowing this out of proportion?" Are you kidding? NO! You're not blowing it out of proportion - your instincts are SCREAMING at you to step back and take a look at what's happening to your Self (your own Life's Spark).

"I just feel like he can't love me if I'm not that size 2 again and I'm resentful that he seems so superficial." He "can't" love you because he WON'T love you, size 2 or not. He "seems so superficial" because he IS superficial.

Regardless of the website title, it is a valuable resource to help women drag themselves OUT of victim status and into the status of a strong, wise, cynical, self-assured, self-possessed, and independent woman.
