We are approaching a year into our relationship. It has been fantastic thus far. He's so supportive, we help eachother grow, and it has truly felt like we take on everyday as though we are a team. I've taken medication for my mental health for a decade now, and I've experienced the ups and downs of trying new meds and the side effects that can come with them.
2 months ago I had started a new medication and one of the side effects is weight gain. I'm unsure if this is relevant information or I'm just feeling extremely insecure, but just some details, I'm 170cm (5'7ish) and 73 kg (160ish pounds). In these past 2 months, I've gained almost 5kg (10 pounds). I didn't think it was very noticeable, but you can really feel more squish in my tummy.
Last night he was sleeping over and broke down out of nowhere while we were cuddling that he's worried about the weight gain affecting his physical attraction to me. He was crying and apologizing to me, it felt pretty surreal that I had to take care of him emotionally when I'm being called out for something out of my control.
Today I just feel filled with shame. It's been a quiet workday and my mind is wandering if this was the kiss of death for our relationship. Just the thought of being naked in front of him makes me want to shrink up in a ball. We are less than a month away from hitting one year, and with this new information in mind, I just don't know if there is coming back from this?
