Ill be honest with you, Im not someone who gives people the benefit of the doubt, and I distrust everyone until they have proven to be trustworthy.
Im a liar and a manipulative bastard, and if i can ever get out of a difficult situation without hurting people, by being a liar, i will

and what i hear in this story is exactly how I would handle a situation if I wanted a girl to lose weight
I think that HE himself wants you to lose weight, and is using his parents as an excuse to not hurt your feelings.

but if hes serious about this, then lose him anyway, no GROWN MAN should let his parents have such an influence over him
kinda sad tbh if you ask me

It's not just men. A lot of people seek parental approval on the person they are dating.

Agree with this^.

The method is immature & pathetic. There are other ways besides subterfuge to communicate needs without injury. Or if he's serious about his parents then that's almost as sad. Either way, run.
