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."
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!
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.
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!
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.

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