I am not trying to be nice. I am only trying to be effective. When something is as glaring as this, I point it out. to the extent that you are trying to approach it as a figure of speech - no, no, no, it was not a figure of speech, not only because the word perfect was repeated immediately, but also because it was accentuated with the adverb "absolutely" - the bf is "absolutely perfect". When somebody idolizes their partner that much, it catches the eye of innocent bystanders. Plus, I also went through this kind of idolization (in a completely different context and not related to BDD, OCD, etc.) so I am more keen than some other people to notice this glaring issue.

By the way, Hankster was to me as I am now to OP (less than a year ago), and no, she was not nice, neither did she mince her words, but she was, ultimately, very effective. Eventually I came to appreciate the way she phrased her posts very much. And, I am sure there were people who refrained from comment (you are advising me to refrain from commenting when you say I should bypass such posts) and... guess what... I never learned of their existence and never came to appreciate their insight.

So - effective wins over nice. Especially when the OP poster is blind.
