Question Posted Saturday February 26 2005, 1:56 pm
my boyfriend said something really mean to me about the way i look earlier today on the phone. i hung up on him and he keeps calling back and i wont answer. he left a message saying "if you ever stop being mad at me call me, ill understand if you dont though" i want to call him back...what should i say?
ShinyButton answered Saturday February 26 2005, 8:55 pm: It depends on what he said, and if he truly sounded sad when he left the message. I'm not good with second chances, but if you really care about him (and he you) then you might should try and get back on good terms, if not still going out. A good friendship is always better than the annoying ring of a phone. [ ShinyButton's advice column | Ask ShinyButton A Question ]
xoPandaBabyxo answered Saturday February 26 2005, 7:52 pm: Tell him that you forgive him, but he should respect that you get hurt when he says things like that to you. I mean, no girl deserves that, right? A boyfriend is supposed to be supportive. Anyway, I hope I helped. Tell me how it turns out.
poisonkissesox answered Saturday February 26 2005, 7:19 pm: what exactly did he say? apparently he feels really bad about it to constantly call you back and hope you'll answer. talk it out with him and tell him it hurt your feelings.

bUtTeRfLiEs answered Saturday February 26 2005, 5:45 pm: He doesn't seem like a great boyfriend if he makes nasty comments about the way you look. I wouldn't call him back, but that's just me. So when you call him tell him how he made you feel when he said that and that it wasn't nice and you don't appreciate it at all. And also tell him that you think he needs to apologize and if this ever happens again, then it's over.
-Hope I helped!-

Erinn_the_bamf answered Saturday February 26 2005, 5:37 pm: Just ask him why he said that. Make sure you find out what he meant. I know what I am about to say will sound like something the really annoying columnists will say but oh well. If he says he meant it act really mad and listen to him blather about how sorry he is. You may get a gift out of it. I'm sorry I just had to say it. Fogive me. But I strongly suggest taking my first piece of advice and if you want take the second.

katiemate answered Saturday February 26 2005, 4:29 pm: Ask him why he felt the need to be mean to you. Tell him how much he hurt you and make it clear that if it happens again you'll put a hot poker on his crown jewels. [ katiemate's advice column | Ask katiemate A Question ]

Karen answered Saturday February 26 2005, 2:20 pm: If he calls you before you call him, talk to him and tell him that he shouldn't have been mean and that he hurt your feelings when he told you about the way you looked. Tell him that if he says anything else about you that you will end the relationship because your boyfriend shouldn't have said anything mean about you. If he's going out with you, he shouldn't care about the way you look and such. He should love you for the way you are.

ThEsHiZ180 answered Saturday February 26 2005, 2:20 pm: ok let me explain with me being a guy aand him hopefully being a guy you should know every guy thinks very similar unless they are gay. The only reason he said something like hat to you is probably because you said something mean or made him mad or he was just kidding. You should call him back and let him say whatever hes going to say i garantee its an apologie [ ThEsHiZ180's advice column | Ask ThEsHiZ180 A Question ]

vicki2k50 answered Saturday February 26 2005, 2:15 pm: Pick the phine up and try explaining to him that what he said hurt you in a bad way and that you want his reassurance that hes not going to say nasty things again. [ vicki2k50's advice column | Ask vicki2k50 A Question ]
Phoebe6124 answered Saturday February 26 2005, 2:09 pm: you should call him back and ask what his problem is and just talk things out. But don't break up with him. Every couple goes through this stuff. Just be like, "why are you with me if u dont like the way i look." and that will give him that chance to apologize to you. Just let him explain himself, and it better be good! Well im here for u anytime good luck! [ Phoebe6124's advice column | Ask Phoebe6124 A Question ]
Here2HelpU answered Saturday February 26 2005, 2:01 pm: call him back... the best thing is to talk it out with him... tell him you thought it was really rude what he said and he shouldnt have said it and it really pissed you off... tell him your not going to be mad at him forever because you shouldnt over something small like that... but you do need some time right now to calm down and let off some steam from being mad and tell him youll call him back when you feel better. if hes an ass about it... then dish out a comeback and say somwething bad about how he looks...but im sure you wont have to do that im sure hell understand! if you need anything else you can e mail me or im me!! hope i helped!
