My boyfriend is underweight, and I get blamed for it.?

Question

I live with my boyfriend. He has alway been underweight. We only moved in together 10 months ago, and his mother constantly says that I don't feed him. I do cook meals for him, normally 3-5 times a week. But his mother constantly says that I don't cook. And she just always happens to call when he decides to make dinner.

He is a landscaper and works full time. He eats healthy without even trying. I've asked him about trying those weight gaining things, and first he was all for it, but now he is against it.

He is 23, and 125 pounds. He has a lot of muscle, but is also just skin and bone. What can I do to get him to gain weight.

Answer 1

more deserts

Answer 2

If he's not worried about gaining weight, and it's not affecting his overall health, you don't have to worry about it.

What's wrong with his mother? Was he skinny when you met him, before you lived together? Then she must not have fed him. And why does she think that a 23-year-old man can't feed himself? Does she think she raised a helpless infant? Shame on her.

Answer 3

ok go to maximuscle.co.uk and order some progain extreme http://www.maximuscle.com/progainextreme

Answer 4

Wow, I would be really pissed off with your boyfriend and his mum if I were you.

It's up to HIM to eat, you can't physically feed him.  

Answer 5

Every time "Ma" accuses you of not feeding him, remind her that it was SHE who was feeding him for most of his life, then ask her why she failed to "plump" him up! You have only been feeding him for 10 months, she did it for YEARS! And it would seem she failed!

In any event, no matter who feeds him, you, his ma, or himself, he's only going to eat as much as he wants to eat! Ultimately it is up to him whether he gains weight or not.

Answer 6

Tell his mother to **** off. You're not his baby sitter, and you're not responsible for "feeding" him. He's a grown man. He can cook his own meals. Try to get him to eat more carbs, like bread and pasta.

Answer 7

Some guys are naturally thin.     I weighed 135 for years, and felt like a runt.     Now I'm quite content with my weight, although friends constantly tell me I should weigh more.

If he's comfortable with his weight, that's all that is important.    His mother might criticize you for something else, if he did weigh more, after all, you took her little boy away from her.

He, not you, should tell her to mind her own business.
