Don't get engaged until you've lived with her for a least a year.

10 times in 2 years?
It's definitely not time to get engaged.

What?
What exactly do you think the definition of boyfriend/girlfriend means?
And what is the definition of commit to you?
If you say you are boyfriend and girlfriend, then you are committed to each other.
If you are not committed. Then you are just penpals.

No. You become committed when both of you want that and not because she’s pressuring you. It has to be something that you both really want. Curious. How much time have you spent together in real life?

Thank you!
I'll relay this idea.. Maybe it's enough.
But what do I do in the mean time?

Tbh if they need some counseling or book 6 months into their relationship, you might as well just scrap it altogether.

How you look at exBF1 might be colored by nostalgia glasses, careful.
If you're gonna leave your current one, do it for yourself, not for your ex.
Imo do have a talk though and don't just disappear. It's always important to communicate just in case

From what I'm reading I think that the two of you might benefit from some type of couples counseling book. I hate to insert stereotypes but it's very atypical for a male to not be attracted to a woman if he is straight. Regardless of what that woman looks like.... And with you being curvy as you have described yourself it's even harder to believe that you would not be attracted to you.
That's why I'm suggesting maybe there's something that needs to be communicated between the two of you that is not being communicated. For example, he could have some trauma, secret, fear, something has to be causing this mindset.

Remember, you are not responsible for all this. She is not a people person, you are. I am not a people person but if I have to I can talk to anyone. This tooks decades.
The jealousy, ideation, and self harm are all signs that she needs someone to talk to. A lot of therapy is not "fixing you". Most of it is figuring out how you can be you in the world. How to adapt. There is another part where the therapist does call you out and point out that your opinion or thoughts about a situation are probably off and you need to re-orient your thinking. They usually do it in a nice and non-threatening way.

This literally has nothing to do with what she is asking advice for. And it's inherently a untrue statement. Someone being 11 years younger does not absolve them from having problems like this.
