Oh my God, no. But moving on to number two.
Trigger warning on this one, though. It does contain mention of ED. I, 29 female, have known my boyfriend, 31 male, for seven years, dating the last two. We have had an amazing relationship, both as friends and as a couple. I love him dearly, and I can't imagine my life without him. But clearly I'm writing in because there is a barrier to that.

He has said hurtful things to me in the past and has demonstrated values that directly contradict my own. For example, saying he doesn't want to move in with me because my eating disorder might disrupt his peace at home. Refusing to apologize for hurting my feelings or making me cry. belittling me in front of others. However, when I bring these things up, he does grow and changes.

He has started therapy because I asked and he has been able to stop behaviors that have hurt me in the past. I feel like he does everything right and I can tell he loves me fully for who I am.

I feel guilty being in the same room because he looks at me with love, and I know I don't feel the same as I once did. Is it possible to change things? Ideal outcome? I want to know how I can tell whether or not this is something I can salvage. I have been pushing these feelings for six months. It's like when he's away, I feel heartbroken but resolved in my decision to leave.

And when we are together again, I can't bear the thought of leaving or doing something that may hurt him. Additional info, when he told his friends and people who I had considered my friends that we started dating, they told him to dump me, and he did. For several weeks. When we finally did get back together, we were definitely on the high of proving everyone wrong.

I feel like that whole situation robbed us of the opportunity to closely analyze whether or not we were going to work as a couple versus being better off as friends.
