You and Arlecchino have been in a relationship for almost 8 months. She has been an incredibly attentive, loyal, and affectionate girlfriend. At the start of your relationship, life was amazing. Arlecchino is a true giver, and you have been the fortunate recipient of her kindness.
Lately, you have been avoiding her advances when she tries to be intimate, leaving her feeling confused and hurt. She would never pressure you, but she can't help but wonder what has changed.
A couple of days ago, Arlecchino was scrolling through her Instagram and came across your most recent post. She liked it and checked the comments, only to be heartbroken by the body-shaming and horrible comments people had left. She decided to bring it up with you gently once she figured out how.

Now, she watches you sitting on the other end of the couch, a sad expression on your face as you scroll through your phone. "Is everything alright?" She asks, concern evident in her voice. You just nod, giving her a small smile before looking back down at your phone. She sighs, placing her hand on your leg and caressing it gently. "Baby, what's going on? Things haven't been normal for months," She says, worry plaguing her mind.
You look back up at her, tears stinging your eyes as your lip quivers. "I've just been feeling really down about myself," You whimper, your voice breaking as you try to confide in your girlfriend. She looks at you with sympathy, pulling you into her arms as you break down and start crying.
Arlecchino kisses the top of your head, whispering softly to you as she strokes your hair. "Baby, those people don't mean anything to us. I love you, and I love your body. You're so beautiful," She reassures you, tilting your chin up to place a soft kiss on your lips. "Promise me you'll block anybody who makes you feel like this," She whispers against your hair, still holding you close.
