A woman has been left feeling insecure by her scheming boyfriend.

Though she admitted she had always be jealous of his previous girlfriend's figure she said that she was happy with the way that she looked.

Things started to change when he turned around and offered her a gym membership which she turned down.

Yet all the pieces started to fit together when the ex, Elle, reached out to her via Instagram to tell her what he hand be planning behind her back.

Explaining what happened, she wrote, "Yesterday, his ex reached out to me through Instagram and asked if I had talked to my boyfriend about wanting to start working out. I said no because I hadn't. I was a bit confused and asked why she was asking.

"She then proceeded to send me multiple screenshots of conversations with my boyfriend. He had asked her to put together a workout plan and meal plan that would make my body look like hers.

"He told her that it was my idea and that I had asked him to ask her. I never did.

"He was also very strict with making sure that she sent the plan to him and not me. She thought this was a little suspicious and decided to ask me before she made the plan.

"I feel so insecure and ashamed of the way I look now. My boyfriend is apparently not happy with the way I look. Not only does he want me to change, but he wants me to look like his ex."

Anyone who came across the post encouraged he to end things with the boyfriend, writing comments of support for her.

"That's so humiliating, I'd never forgive him. Elle is a girls' girl and did you a favor, take it and dump the jerk," wrote one.

Another seemed to agree with them commenting, "A guy comparing you to his ex is a massive red flag. A guy comparing you to his ex then sending messages to her asking her for a workout plan to LOOK LIKE SAID EX is a RUN FOR THE HILLS, GIRL!"

While a third added, "Dump him and invite Elle out for a coffee sometime to say thanks for the heads up. She's the real MVP. Lose a jerk, gain a friend."

Thankfully in an update the Redditor revealed that she dumped him!
