Sounds like he loves you, Kate. Maybe HE is the one who is insecure. I've hung out at the gym a lot myself and come to the conclusion, myself included, that most of the people who are "gym rats" as someone else put it, are basically insecure people.

They are never satisfied with their bodies and feel the need to improve and are very critical of other people's bodies. They need the adrenaline rush or the seretonin rush they get from the workout and if they don't get to work out, they are cranky all day and feel like they've missed an integral part of their day.

Where I would be careful and keep my antenna's up is if he starts to put you down to make himself feel better or starts to compare you to other women.

Sounds like you're just right. I wouldn't feel anything but good about myself and just watch his feet. His lips are moving but what are his feet doing? Does he continue to be supportive and loving and caring? I wouldn't worry too much about it. Whatever happens, happens.
