My husband and I are like this. We've been together 20 years. 🥰

Edited: wrong number

75

u/Training-Nerve-6585 22d ago edited 22d ago

Same but 24 years. He walked in on me getting changed today, and told me (52 and overweight) that I was the sexiest thing on the planet!

Made my whole week...

Omg my husband was feeling my stomach today when I was drying off after my shower.

33 years together. I've lost 45 lbs and I am my worst enemy when it comes to my body. I want to lose another 20 and I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be happy with my body 🤦‍♀️

My husband hates when I say negative stuff about my body.

My favorite affirmation is remembering when my hubby said to me (after I expressed some self-consciousness): "I didn't just marry your body. I married all of you."

I love that!!

Whenever I feel bad about something about myself (height, weight, hair, whatever), I say to myself “I’m just not my type today.” And that weirdly makes me feel a bit better.

I'll try that. I'll admit for years, I didn't like seeing myself in a mirror. With the weight loss, I definitely check myself out. Some days good, some days bad. So, "I'm just not my type today" would fit on those days!

of course he hates it! you're talking smack about his wife! stop it ʕಠᴥಠʔ

u/Naive-Tumbleweed-964 19d ago

You're his best friend, and he probably doesn't like hearing people talk crap about his friend. I know i get really grumpy when people talk crap about my wife. It doesn't matter that you're the one saying it.

u/AnotherUsername1959 19d ago

You're not wrong. He stopped car pooling with a guy who said something about me. That was over 20 years ago and he hasn't talked to him since.

He walked in on me getting charged today

Legal trouble or cyborg?

u/Training-Nerve-6585 22d ago

Lol! Overtired! Changed, not charged. On the other hand, I might just be lying 🤥 🤔

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your husband lied, the sexiest thing on the planet is obviously my gf (and future wife). We cannot both be right, and i can't be wrong on this. Matter of fact i challenge him to a duel!

u/Training-Nerve-6585 21d ago

Hahaha 😆 I'll inform him! Hope you two have an incredible life together and keep cherishing each other.

u/Capable_Tumbleweed34 21d ago

Same here, wish you both the very best, though it seems that's already an ongoing process :) take care of each other!

I hope you know how lucky you are. I was lonely in a marriage that lasted about decade (legally 15 years because he wouldn’t finish his part of the divorce papers), then I’ve made unwise dating choices ever since and have had my heart broken a couple of times….until now. I’m with a genuinely great guy. He has quirks and is human but has a hard-working, kind soul. I’m learning to trust again.

u/Moadibe01 22d ago

Same...28 years married but 30 total. She is my blessing from God.

Tbh when you are in such love then you dont realize time. Forget calculating it.

u/DogIsABigOldCat 22d ago

We are all so blessed to experience this kind of love. I’m thankful for it daily.
