I’m at a lost
Okay so my fiancé and I have been together for four years now. We do see a couples therapist and I haven’t been able to bring this concern up because of how to word it. I truly believe that my fiancé has a binge eating disorder and I’m really worried about him. I have seen him eat a full plate of food, going for seconds, a sweet of some kind, another sweet, chips, and then he wakes up in the middle of his sleep to eat more (like another snack), every single night. There have been times where he gets up from bed three times in a night just to eat. There’s been times where he’s gotten so sick the next day from overeating. He says that he’s “hungry” and “requires a lot of calories” but this has been going on for a while now and I think it’s really getting worse, because of his stress and stress eating. I get frustrated because it’s effecting his health and when I voice my concerns and tell him that even his doctor is concerned, it just comes across like he doesn’t care. And unfortunately I know it happens a lot to people who struggle with this.. i literally don’t know what to do and I don’t want to make him feel bad about himself because he’s already self conscious as it is. He’s gained weight and has high cholesterol. I’m just scared of loosing him.
