    I did find out exactly that. Meg has anorexic tendencies. It doesn't affect my love for her even a tiny bit. I'm gentle with her, I remind her to eat. I'll even feed her if necessary. True love overcomes things like that. +5 FG

    Don't yell and don't lecture that will not help. If you care about her do not break up with her. Sit her down and say "We need to talk. You have an illness called bulimia and it is very serious, you can die from it and I love you too much to let you die. Will you go with the doctor to me so we can get you some help?" And see how that goes. It's all about opening the line of communication. She thinks she's fat. When she looks in the mirror she sees a fat woman. She could be 80 pounds and she still sees that. It is a very serious illness and she will need professional help to cure it. The media makes women think you are only beautiful if you are super thin. Some women can't help but eat so they throw it up so men like you will find her hollywood attractive.

    Discovered? I think it would
    be hard to miss.
    .
    I'd try to help and I would
    only break up if She was
    completely unwilling to
    accept help despite all
    attempts to talk to Her.
    I don't want to fall in love
    with a person who is suffering
    "on purpose", doesn't want help
    and could die. I don't need this
    feeling of helplessness and guilt
    running my whole life.
    .
    But I would contact Her family
    to tell Them what's going on.

    To be honest, I don't really know. I suppose it might make me a bit uncomfortable at first, but I'd like to think I'd be able to accept her for being that way and continue with the relationship. Afterall, I'm not without my own eccentricities and food isn't exactly something that I love, either.
