My gf broke up with me 2 months ago and never looked back. She said everything about me was wonderful and she just didn't have feelings for me anymore and that it felt so right for her too leave. She has been bulimic for 6 years and i only recently found out that her previous boyfriends all got dumped the same way, all of a sudden and coldy. She moved on really fast and started dating a guy a week after me. My question is: How does bulima effect ones intamacy and feelings toward their lovers?

I know shes not coming back because she is completely infatuated with the new guy and i am not the first dude shes moved on from. I know she will probably do the exact same thing to him at some point too.

There are probably many contributing factors that cause her to behave that way. Just as there are probably a lot of contributing factors to why she has bulimia. Possibly some of the same contributing factors. Very doubtful that it's as simple as bulimia makes her dump guys and jump to the next one. Low self-esteem could be one thing at play here.

 

Why are you asking?

I wouldn't think that bulimia would affect intimacy.

 

bulimia is a a psychological eating disorder .. I would assume that someone that has bulimia has self image issues and that can lead to issues with intimacy..

 

I think you need to move on and quit looking for reasons that she dumped you..

I know it hurts.. but you need to accept the fact that it happened

makes me feel better about being dumped though. Like it wasn't my fault.

Getting dumped wasn't your fault..

 

but how you handle the breakup and where you go from here is all on you.
