Oh god, I know how hard it is to talk to someone with an eating disorder. I've never had to, but I have had people talk to me about it. You boyfriend is probably ashamed, frightened, lost and embarrassed especially because of the stereotype that only girls get eating disorders. Not true. Try to help him but don't be angry if he refuses to get help or acts childish. Right now, he needs a friend, someone to listen to, someone who doesn't judge him because of his eating problem, someone who loves him unconditionally. Tell him you will give him that. Be patient, I know what it feels to be in his situation with an eating problem so I know how I want people to talk to me. Just talk for awhile, ask him what he wants to do, what he wants for his life and let him make some decisions. I'm not saying you shouldn't take him to the dr, but like I said, he probably will not want to. If he is willing, that great. Keep me posted and good luck.
