Is it normal my boyfriend eats all day and his size scares me?

My boyfriend literally eats everything in the house, he eats all day. He's 6 foot 8 and a buff guy, he's not fat, he's big. He lifts weights a lot and I love the fact he's so bulky but omg I can not afford, nor do I have the time, to feed him.

I'm 22 and I'm in nursing school, he works as a mechanic at a marina. We get by financially and he pays for my schooling but I don't have a lot of time to work so money is tight, and his meal after meal after meal protein diet is exhausting.

I've been physically abused in the past by an ex who would overpower me to get his way, and honestly my boyfriend's muscles and his size scares me. But it's not like I can ask him to stop working out, right?

He's an ex-addict, and seems to be putting all his energy into getting big instead of getting high. Which I'm happy for him, but everything with him always has to be in extremes.

    Quit bitching you're obviously lovin it. That's if the story is true at all, the whole description sounds written by a chick who's simultaneously rubbing her clit with her left hand... but then again, so do half the posts on this site.

    • I'm not denying that I love his body, but it's still threatening and makes me nervous when we fight.

        Yes but that feeling of threat and nervousness is what turns you on, so what's the problem? If he didn't make you feel anything you wouldn't be with him. My girl loves to dread me every now and then, that's what keep our relationship alive.

        • He's a kitten, just a big kitten.

          I don't fear him, I fear his muscles.

            Yeah and my girlfriend doesn't fear me, she just fears the palm of my hand ;)

            Quit splitting hairs and enjoy your thrilling relation with your dude. All the best!

    Let him buy his own food, and teach him to prepare it himself.

    • He already pays for my schooling, mortgage, utilities, insurances, gas, car payments, big stuff. The food and clothes and small things is what I cover, but even then it's still too much and I don't want to work more than 20 hours a week.

      But having him cook I could try!

    I wouldn't call this normal.You have major trust issues.I think you need to work on the issues before you get in a relationship.

    How long have you been together and why in the world are you living together at 22?

    • We've been together for a little over a year, I can't afford to live on my own and my school is states away from my parents, so he asked me to move in with him after my old roommate asked for too much.

      He's 4 years older than me.

        I don't know how you're doing groceries, but just have him pay for what's his.
