Am I the a**hole for telling my boyfriend to stop eating so much? (with Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy)

This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the asshole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about what ever happens to be on their mind. Sometimes something from their mailbag. Today, they are joined by Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy (she/her). She is a licensed psychologist, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, and a certified emotionally focused couples therapist. She specializes in sexual health and relationships and owns her own private practice in Minnesota. She is the co-author of the book, Desire: An Inclusive Guide to Navigating Libido Differences in Relationships (⁠https://amzn.to/4fTtXMg⁠). You can find her at her webpage, ⁠https://drlaurenfogel.com/⁠, and on Instagram and Facebook ⁠@drlaurenfogelmersy⁠ In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole for telling my boyfriend to stop eating so much?"
