SL Letter of the Day: I Get Too Many Letters Like This.
I have to say, the first thing I thought was "how is his mental health"? I'd be wary of a sudden change in behavior, especially anything extreme in the area of personal hygiene. Presumably he has contact with other people during his day, too? He doesn't worry about offending them?
Of the course, the other possibility is that since she is usually the one to initiate, he is using his body (hygiene and his curious new kissing style) passive-aggressively so she'll stay away.
There are gendered expectations about grooming. If their genders and roles were reversed, and a woman suddenly stopped bathing and started doing things that grossed out her partner, I think it would be seen differently. It would regarded less like a "guy thing" and more like something that might be a symptom of something more serious than a lapse in personal care and sexual technique.

SL Letter of the Day: DTMFAsshole.
Here's the thing: Presumably two months after you started dating, when he started his size-bashing, you were roughly the same size you were when he was first attracted to you. So this isn't a case of "concern". It's a case of control. He's found a way to hurt you that he can do while smiling sweetly and feeling self-righteous. If it wasn't your weight, it would be something else – guaranteed. This is a man who needs to wound you deeply in order to feel his own self-worth. I don't have to know you to know you deserve better than him... no one should have to put up with this particular breed of jerk. Dump him.

Ha! I just realized that a great use of the
santorum.com web page would be a whole series of posts of men wearing nothing BUT the Santorum sweater vest!

My Flame Is Dim?.
I scored a 72 (acceptably gay) and I'm a lesbian. That seems wrong to me. Shouldn't I have another set of questions about Home Depot, Subarus, and human services work?

You realize that indigenous Mexicans are less than 10% of Mexico's population, right?
You're (ironically) making broad assumptions based on the idea that all brown foreign people must be indigenous.
Whoops.
