AITA for feeling hurt after my boyfriend made cruel comments about my postpartum body?
Just two months postpartum, I’ve lost the baby weight but my boyfriend mocked my walk and body, making me question his support and how I feel in my own skin.

I’m two months postpartum and although I’ve lost the baby weight, my boyfriend’s awkward and hurtful remarks about my body and walk have left me feeling low and conflicted about intimacy.
I was heading to the fridge when my boyfriend suddenly said, “Damn, I picked that,” pointing to me with a mocking tone about the way I walk—stomach out, boobs low, and my ass sticking out awkwardly. At first, I was confused, thinking he was joking or referencing something else, but then he imitated my walk in a teasing way that felt mean.
"Like this, stomach out, b__bs down to here...ass sticking out like you're a baby with a full diaper."
I’m two months postpartum and have lost all the baby weight, but pregnancy made my breasts huge and breastfeeding has taken away their perkiness. On top of that, I struggle with a spinal condition that affects my posture and probably makes my walk look off. Despite all this, I try to care about my appearance, but his comment stung deeply.
"At least the underwear holds your ass up."
Moments earlier, he had been affectionate, so this sudden shift surprised me. I felt hurt and confused as I sat down to eat my salad. I’m thinking of buying loose hoodies and pajamas, figuring I can’t safely wear just underwear and a tank top around him anymore. Even after losing the weight plus more within two months, it seems like it’s not enough for him.
🏠 The Aftermath
I’m left feeling really self-conscious and upset about my body, especially after such a big life change. Thoughts of getting a breast reduction or lift cross my mind, but I know having more kids could undo any results.
My boyfriend doesn’t seem to understand how much his words hurt me during this vulnerable postpartum period. What used to be a relationship fueled by lust and admiration for my curves now feels overshadowed by criticism. I’m struggling to feel intimate with him.
I’m watching my weight carefully, worried he might use it against me, even as I try to regain my confidence.
"I feel like horse shit. The only things wrong are my breasts and my posture."
It’s painful to think that the man who once worshipped my body now seems to focus only on its flaws.
