Just thinking about one of my exes and how my breakup with him was handled by my two friend groups
My more conservative friends heard the two points of 1. He wanted me to lose weight and, 2. He wanted to sleep with other people, and were very understanding of the first one. They thought ah yes of course, he wanted you to be in shape and healthy and be someone he was attracted to. It was the second issue they had a problem with, thinking it was disgusting he wanted to sleep around and should be committing to one person.
Whereas my more left-leaning friends thought sure, there’s no issue if he wants to sleep with others. He’s just not monogamous, and if he wishes to have multiple partners there’s no problem, as long as his partners know and consent. It was the first one they had an issue with, saying he didn’t have the right to speak on my body weight and shouldn’t be policing and trying to control me. They said it wasn’t okay that he wasn’t okay with my weight.
And I was in the middle, of course, not liking either answer.
