hey y'all..
im anorexic (if your just going to tell me how dangerous it is, don't bother ok?) and i have been for 2 years of and on. i have a wonderful boyfriend (we've been going out for 17 months) but hes always tickling me and poking me in the stomach, and im very self concious about it. he knows about my ed and how much i hate attension being drawn towards my figure..but he still does it anyway. i know he's just being playful and flirty but i dunno...it makes me uncomfortable, especially after we eat (which is usually because he always makes me eat something when we're together for obveous reasons)
is there any other way i can tell him that i don't like him poking my stomach without being rude?

Hey, Well guys really don't realize that things bother us half the time (annoying i know ha) but Im sure he's really understanding, and if you just tell him that it bothers you, im sure he'll understand. Think of a creative way to get it across to him. Maybe give him a flirty look and be like woah there and just kinda laugh it off. You know him better than anyone else, so think of a way to get it across to him without being mean. xO

Tell him that it doesn't feel good or you just don't like it at all.

what you can try to do is next time he pokes you grab his arms and put them around your stomach and kiss him to get him to stop poking you.. but in realitty you should tell him how you feel.

Well, I can see both sides of it. He is just trying to be flirty and cute with you, and you shouldn't make him feel bad because of insecurities that it doesn't sound like you're getting help for. However, he should also respect that you have a problem.
Go ahead and tell him that it really makes you uncomfortable in the nicest tone of voice possible, but don't be surprised if it kind of pushes him away. He's already put in a kind of awkward position, helping someone who doesn't really seem to want the help, and then this might just add onto it.
