So me (M26) and my gf (F26) have been together for 5 years and she has during the years put on some weight which isn’t something I have an issue with. I still view her as I did from the first year and I love her and think she’s attractive.

Tonight she said her colleague was single and had a hard time on Tinder since she is fat, and guys don’t tend to swipe right to her. Me and my GF ourselves got together after a Tinder date and she asked me if I’d swipe right on her if she looked like she does now.

And since my brain sometimes tend to mess my wording of things up I said yes but with a hesitation. A hesitation that in my mind only was there because it was five years ago and I cannot say I would think like I do now back then which is why there was a hesitation.

Obviously this made her sad and she hasn’t spoken to me for a few hours and I don’t know how to handle the situation without messing it up further. I do love her both from her looks and her personality. I have never been as happy before as I am with her.

I’m afraid I’ve fucked everything up and that now she will think I find her unattractive which isn’t the case and isn’t why I hesitated at all.

She have through the years felt issues with her weight and says she isn’t as pretty as she was before and I always tell her I don’t care about her weight and all I want for her is to not have to think about her weight every day cuz I love her anyway. This self esteem issue she has adds on to me feeling even worse.

Any advice on how to fix things?

TLDR: Accidentally implied that my gf has put on weight and now she is sad, for obvious reasons.
