Answer 3

Yes, because right now you need all the support you can get. I'm going through an eating disorder, and sometimes I wish I had someone to help me out and understand. You never know, he might be a comfort to you, knowing he's there for you. I know that there are medicine that help you with particular eating disorders. Maybe you want to go to a professional, wether its bulimia, anorexia.. etc. They can be life threatening and dangerous. If you need help or have any question feel free to email me, I'm here to help && best of luck to you  

Answer 4

you should . you would want him to share with you if he had issues. and you shouldn't hate yourself. your bf finds something appealing in you. trust him.  

Answer 5

Depends on your motives.  Do you want help with the problem or a co-dependant?  Do you expect your boyfriend to take responsibility for your mental/emotional problems?  Seems like a lot to ask of anyone.  On the other hand if you want him to be in control of the situation you are asking to become a victim at some point in time.

You need to get professional help on your own and then share that information with your boyfriend.  

Answer 6

yes, if he loves you he will support you and help you beat it. good luck

Answer 7

Every boyfriend I've ever told up and left.  Mainly because I'm not ready to give it up.  That was theire biggest problem.

My fiance convinced me that I needed to open up about everything or else he couldn't marry me.  I did, he left.  Now I'm stuck with a brand new wedding dress that won't sell on Craig's List because it's a size 2.

Any man that won't stick by you through the hard times, isn't a good one that you need, if you ask me.  Whether you are or are not ready to give it up, when things get tough, that's no time to run.  Revealing deep-seeded issues like this will teach you a lot about the person you think you are with and your relationship.

Best of luck.  

Answer 8

If he's a long-term and committed boyfriend, you should tell him.

Have you dated for more than a year?

Has he been there for you through any type of life struggles like homework, job stress, difficult parents, friend issues?

See if he listens to you when you rant about a stressful situation. If he's attentive and remembers what you say, then I would tell him.

Don't talk to him about it if he's a casual boyfriend or one that you probably won't marry.

My girlfriend told me and it made us much closer. We've been dating 5 years since she told me. Don't worry I'm saving up for a ring!!

Answer 9

How bad is your eating disorder? Only if it's not for attention, and you believe you need help and you cannot help yourself. If you believe he will be supportive and help you get through it, then yes ofcourse, but not if you want him there to be over you and watch you like a baby. Im not being rude, I just know how these go. But overall I hope you get through it because it's really not the way to live. If there's no one else you can tell and you know he will help go for it.  

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

For sure you should tell someone.  Your BF may not be your best help, but you should tell someone you trust.  The stat is staggering that people with eating disorder have a severe problem with a family member, so make sure you tell someone you trust.  The boyfriend may already know or have a good idea,  if your disease is debilitating it impossible not to see it.  Talk to someone and get help... You WILL ruin your life... The one thing you think you are controlling will spin your life to complete chaos
