My boyfriend said that he won't marry me if I don't lose weight. He has started seeing other women to show that he's got one foot out the door and he's ready to leave if I don't make an effort.

What should I do?

Dump him now. He's already shown he's not committed to you RIGHT NOW - you think he'd come through on some bogus promise of marriage years down the road?

Lose the weight for yourself and find a new, great guy!

I think you already know what you need to do. Losing weight isn't as hard as people make it out to be. Just do it.

He should dump you because he's not happy with you. You should also lose weight, but for the sake of your own well being.

Ultimatums is a sign of interpersonal and communication problems. While loosing weight might be a healthy thing... using a threat to push you into something he wants is a major issue. I guarantee that this won't be the last time he uses ultimatum to get his way

Post 5 has it right. Dump the guy. You should try to lose weight or get down to a manageable weight for your own good not because he want you to.

Agreed.

Whether OP wants to lose weight (or needs to) is not the relevant point here.

I also think I'd feel differently if he wasn't out seeing other women.

If her weight is a danger to her health, he should be trying to get help her, not upsetting her.

If he just prefers thinner women, why not just date them and leave the OP alone?

What should I do?
Shove his second foot out the door, too.

Your *BF* is dating other women and you want to know what to do?

The Internets are a marvel, no?
