I have a colleague at work (F25) who has been dating a guy (M28) for 3 months but keeps complaining about him. First, she says he’s “too short”: he’s about 5’7 and she’s 5’2’, which honestly seems fine to me. Then she keeps telling him that he’s not muscular enough and constantly nags him to go to the gym more. It’s one thing to encourage someone to be healthy, but to keep harping on it like that? It’s ridiculous.
I mean, why do you even go out with him if you don’t like the way he looks?
But what really gets me is that she wants him to be “meaner” to her, saying she wishes he’d tell her to “f*** off” sometimes because his kindness makes the relationship boring.
Honestly, I can’t help but feel sorry for the guy. and I can’t understand why he puts up with it. I hope he breaks it off very soon. It’s baffling how some people like her seem to have no problem finding relationships, while people who are genuinely kind-hearted and mature end up single. It just doesn’t add up to me.
Should I call her out for being a you know what? I’ve had similar criticism in past relationships and it’s really hurtful. Anyone else been in a similar situation?
TL;DR: A coworker constantly criticizes her boyfriend for being too short, not muscular enough, and too nice. I feel bad for him and confused how superficial people like her find relationships.
