Do you think im just sensitive?

Soooo I have a bf and we been together for like 3 years. He says he loves me and ect but randomly just judges my body. He says that he hopes my breast grow that they are too small because they are cup C. Or he says he hopes my butt grows bigger, but when I talk to him about it he says he was joking around and that he loves me just how I am snd that he wouldn’t have thought that I would take it seriously. He gets disappointed at me bacause he thinks that I would right away know he was joking and that he really loves me. He judges pretty much everything about me at some point I started growing insecure to the point that I don’t find myself pretty any longer or anything. From people telling me I’m a 8/10 I just now feel like a 1/10. What should I do ?

You should talk to him and make it clear that his 'jokes' are affecting your self confidence and self esteem. You're not being overly sensitive at all. Even if he doesn't mean these comments, they are not funny and I can entirely understand why they are affecting you. I assume you're relatively young (by which I mean early twenties at most), so I'm putting this down to immaturity in the main, but he needs to be told that these comments are negatively affecting you, and that alone should be a more than good enough reason for him to stop. Women have enough reasons to feel insecure about their appearance by what happens around them and how society pushes certain norms and stereotypes without your partner reinforcing them. His role is to lift you up, not to knock you down. Even if he is joking, he needs to stop doing it immediately.

Ur not being sensitive, it’s normal to feel that way if someone jokingly criticizes you. Like urself so much that it doesn’t affect u, so many people are slim but sooo pretty, u don’t have to alter anything. And tell him to stop.
