Is it normal that i want my boyfriend to gain weight?

I love my boyfriend of several years so much and we're very happily committed to each other, but sometimes when I look at him I wish he'd just gain some weight. He's only a little underweight, but I've always had a secret thing for bellies - much to my embarrassment.

He's the only one who knows this 'fetish' and I sometimes drop hints about him gaining weight. I think at times he tries to do it for me but then gets a bit uncomfortable and soon we're back to square one. I just want a little something extra to hold onto, but I still want us to remain active and not just eat garbage all the time. I certainly don't want him to become overweight or unhealthy for the sake of this, even though I would love him irrespective of anything physical.

I guess it's more of an unfulfilled guilty pleasure of mine that I can live without but would love to live with, if that makes sense. Is it normal that I want my boyfriend to have a bit of a belly?

    I think this is a sad and sticky situation. It's sad and mean to want him to change his body. Some people (myself included) cannot gain weight to save their lives.
    You mention that you have a thing for bellies, much to your embarrassment. How intense is your thing for bellies? Can you perform good sex with his as he is now? If so, leave him alone. If not, then you're like me (which kind of sucks).
    I am pretty strict about who I flirt with because of my limitation. I am currently in a good relationship with a heavier man. As I grew older and knew myself better sexually, I do not date or flirt with thinner men no matter how handsome or charming they are, because I respect them and want them to find someone who loves their bodies the way they were made. Keep him or ditch him, but give him the respect and freedom to be built as he is meant to be and loved for it.

    It's normal to want a partner to fulfill that criteria, but not everyone can gain weight easily or wants to. Pretty much every girl I've been involved with has wanted me to put on weight, whether it be fat or muscle. I'm a skinny guy and I couldn't choose to put on weight, especially fat, without drastically changing my lifestyle. I think liking chubby men is normal (I like a lot of chubby women), but no partner can be everything you want them to be :P

    Perhaps you are telling the wrong person. Tell him to eat more things.
