Since popular culture puts a lot of pressure on people to achieve certain physical standards, a significant weight gain could make any women sweat. When it becomes difficult to maintain your preferred body shape, it can contribute to insecurity, low self-esteem and frustration - all of which are difficult to hide from loved ones especially when you're so run off your feet.

This very phenomenon could be one of the things eating away at your relationship. If you and your man are close, by now he'll have tuned into changes in your disposition, catching you doing things like being hyper-vigilant at mealtime, or saying things like "I feel so fat in these jeans." You might bear the brunt of this mental anguish, but it causes him to suffer along with you.

If he loves you for more reasons than the numbers on the scales, your boyfriend might not have even cared that you gained weight! Be that as it may, if you've let your measurements impact your behavior towards him, it can affect how comfortable he is around you, and consequently may explain the disconnect you're currently experiencing.

Apart from your looks, your relationship issues may simply be due to the fact that you're busy, stressed out, and have little left over to spend quality time with him. Or, he may be going through matters of his own that he hasn't wanted to burden you with. Either way, you need to examine your actions first and take responsibility for that which contributes negatively to your circumstances.

In order to get back in sync, focus on positive communication. Opt to talk with him rather than making any more assumptions. Additionally, much as you feel overwhelmed with the busy-ness of life, it'll be easier for you to cope if you get back to a healthy, active lifestyle. Exercise and good nutrition are proven to help individuals deal with all aspects of their lives. If you invite him to join you, you'll feel better about yourself and rekindle your bond.
