Advice needed

My boyfriend is a wheelchair user and is overweight and it doesnt bother me but it really bothers him and hes tried lots to lose weighr but so far nothing is helping, he really upsets him and i am autistic and struggle with comforting people and i want help on that

1.

Reassure him that you don’t mind about these things but you support him if he wants to work on it

2.

Let him know that you care about him and that you want to comfort him, ask him how you can help when hes upset and explain that even if you dont know what to do it doesn’t mean you dont care about his feelings

I totally sympathise as I struggle with that also, its tough but if you are open about it with your boyfriend i hope he is understanding and you can figure it out
