My boyfriend knows, and he understands. He certainly doesnt like it, but he doesnt talk down on me if i do it, and he doesnt call me names or be abusive if i do. He's great about it, not nasty, but not enabling.
I honestly believe that people who SI or have ED's have enough problems without their significant other being mad about it. I usually suggest that if someones SO has a problem with it, or is nasty, that the person gets out of that relationship. However, couples counselling could be a really good idea. But some people just dont understand, and never will, as they dont want to. And no amount of counselling would help those people in that relationship.
Just try your best to keep your spirits up. Its not your fault he doesnt understand, and it doesnt make you a bad person.
