My bf is such a hypocrite. Well for starters he is about 30 pounds overweight. I am about average; and he keeps telling me I need to lose 20 pounds although he never thinks he has a weight problem. He also gets upset if he thinks I'm too friendly with the opposite sex; but he flirts outragiously right in front of me. He also has said the he thinks he's smarter then me even though I know a lot more things like about movie and television trivia and mental health and other topics than he knows. He thinks he's king sh_t. It is really beginning to tick me off. He also copies ideas of mine and passes them off as his own and he never gives me any credit for them. Should I confront him? He really needs a reality check before his head swells up any more.
CHRIStotheTINAA answered Friday August 25 2006, 1:28 am: Yes, definately confront him about this. If he still continues to act like this, you definately should get rid of him. You deserve better and you don't deserve to be treated liek crap. It might be hard but you may be better off without someone putting you down&being such a hypocrite. I hope i helped!

ConfusedX2 answered Wednesday August 23 2006, 5:29 pm: yes, definitely confront this issue. however, be careful, try to be civil about it, and phrase it in a way he can understand, rather than it sound like you are attacking him. But on a totally side note, i kno youre not asking about dumping him, but it sounds like you could do a lot better than this jerk. You still can tell him all thats bothering you, but sweetheart this guy is NOT worth your time. [ ConfusedX2's advice column | Ask ConfusedX2 A Question ]
BitsandPieces answered Wednesday August 23 2006, 1:54 pm: Yes, he is a hypocrite and a very insecure one at that. This is evidenced by the way he projects his problems and shortcomings onto you. When someone attributes things they don't like about themselves onto someone else, they are not being rational or accepting reality. Likely he was raised in a critical environment and fears being imperfect. You have probably already confronted him in some ways, but he will not likely listen. He is too afraid to be human, to have faults, and weaknesses. A person like this has a hard time believing that anyone would love the real him and that he has to protect himself with a false front. This kind of person is often privately the most critical of himself...a self-loather. It is good that you are not accepting of this behavior, and want to stand up for yourself. However, you must determine how long you are willing to put up with it in the likely event that he will refuse to confront his own demons. You might have a better chance at reaching him if you can do so gently and in a non-threatening way, otherwise he will shut you out immediately, because it will be too painful for him to hear critisism. You are his girlfriend and have no obligation to stay with him, nor are you capable of saving him from himself. If things continue without a marked change in him, consider moving on.
