BP & Insecutirties

Do you/your spouce have severe problems with self esteem & insecurities about looks & appearance. I am just curious if this is common for someone with BP to have this. I know it is a typical female thing (no offence meant) but with my wife it seems to go way beyond that. There are times where she will just start crying & going on about how fat & ugly she is. The reason I am wondering if it is linked to her BP, is because according to her, the reason she feels this way is all my fault. She even told me one time it was my fault she was overweight! I am always being told how I don't compliment her enough (i do all the time) & I am always judging her because of her weight (I have NEVER said anything about her weight.) & she knows I am checking out other women & wishing I was with them. Usually this passed easily, but sometimes she will start in personally attacking me verbally (another reason I think it may be linked) & will escelate from there. I usually just go in the other room when she starts with the attacks, sometimes it works & sometimes it fuels the fire. Her mother has told me she has always been like this since her early teens & I know she has been like this since we have been together, no matter what her weight was.

Anyway, just wondering if this is something common or not.

Hey BD;

Thanks again. When I do those type of things, sometimes it is accepted & sometimes not. I can always tell when she is enjoying getting a hug (she hugs back) or when she is just letting me hug her (she pats my back). I know every woman has their own little insecurities about the way they look, but hers going way beyond that is what makes me wonder. She won't even go to the grocery store or Wal-Mart by herself because she is afraid people are staring at her. I have to go everywhere with her because she does not want to go by herself. What is a little strange about it is that it has to be me that takes her. She won't go with her friend, she won't take her mother with her, it has to be me (I guess that's a compliment). Like I said, it's not just the weight issues, it is just total insecurities about seemingly everything. 

Thanks again;
