Well, not really. I told her she's a bit chubby and invited her to go to the gym. I thought everything was going well, but later on I found out that she was upset. She sarcastically thanked me for telling her that she's fat. Now, I really love this woman and I don't want to lose her just because of her "weight issues". I know it's insensitive of me to tell her that, and I regret that . All I want is for her to stay healthy and live longer. I tried apologizing but to no avail. I told her time and time again that I love her for what she is, but she doesn't seem to buy it. What should I do guys?

I will say good advice, but ladies does not like if they have been called, specially their boy friend, as fat. Just say you will look more beautiful if you reduce your weight. And see her reaction.

Yes, now I know that fact, sriroshan. I never thought chubby was synonymous with fat. I should have used the word voluptuous instead. I will try saying that to her. Thanks for the advice.

Buy her flowers, the more expensive the better because you have committed a great sin my friend. Ladies do not like to be told they are a bit chubby. If you want her to lose weight why not be more sensitive and tell her that you need to get fit and suggest a weekly outing to a gym? With a little luck one of the trainers there may tell her that she needs to lose a little weight and encourage her to exercise more.
For the sake of harmony, I suggest you keep right off the subject and be very careful what you say about her appearance for a long time.

That's a huge mistake, bro. You remind me of my boyfriend who keeps making fun of my flabs.
I have an idea but I don't know if this will work though. Allow her to calm down about it. She should get over it. She must have thought you don't love her for her because you seem unsatisfied with her physical appearance. Girls tend to assume that whenever you talk about their weight.
If you wanted her to go to the gym with you, you should have told her about starting a healthy lifestyle instead of calling her fat or chubby. That can really hurt a girl's feelings, self-esteem and pride. Watch your mouth.
Try to make her feel sexy and seductive. Boost her self-esteem by admiring her physical features, sometimes, but most importantly tell her how you feel about her.

well as I know nearly all ladies are too sensetive when their man talk about their weight. the way that we talk to ladies is really important. I have no idea that how you have told her that she is fat but you could say it with some appreciate like you are so beautiful so cute, I love you and I really appreciate your this and that, sometimes I just imagine you if you could be little more slim then how wonderful and cute you could look! wow, I mean you will be more beautiful than now and people will be jealouse on me to have a cute gf like you. will you that for me? (I mean to loose just little weight as I have seen you in my dream like that?)

Well for a girl to be called fat by her boyfriend that's really upsetting. I'm been told I'm fat by my father and it really upsets me. Being called fat by a guy is much more upsetting than being told by a girl. I don't know about the others but when a girl calls me fat it doesn't upset me. I think the best way to get through her is to explain the situation first. Try telling her what are the advantages for staying healthy and that you're just worried about her lifestyle. It doesn't matter if the girl is fat or skinny, tell her you just want her to live a healthy lifestyle. In this generation, people die really early due to the food and environment we live in.

Well now that you learned you never tell her girl that she is chubby or fat maybe you need to send her flowers with a card apologizing for your insensitive words. Explain to her like you did to us that you want her to be healthy so she has a longer life. That both of us going to gym together will be helping each other. I hope this idea works if you decide to go in this direction. Good luck!

I intentionally remind my girl that she's becoming chubby already. But I am pretty happy because she is very open in terms of that and she is really willing to work out just to take care of those excess fats :)

, you just said the magic word to upset your GF. Now, you have to do something to make her believe that you're really sincere with your apology. Maybe you can give her flowers or take her on a date in a public place. To let her know your proud of her despite her body figure.

You called your GF fat and you're still here, on this earth, typing on mylot for advice? Wow, what a tolerant GF ;).
Try apologizing and say you are an oaf. Then try to explain what you really wanted to say which is you are concerned about her health. Or could just say you wanted her to go the gym because some guy has been hassling you and you wanted a body guard.
Seriously, the only way out of this is to make a complete fool of yourself. Go to her work, job, home, or school. Make a huge sign that says, "I am sorry for being a jerk." and have lots and lots of roses with you. No chocolate though, don't get chocolate.
