I’ve been feeling very self-conscious about my postpartum body. I’ve gained a lot of extra weight, it wasn’t really a big deal until I had to put on clothes to finally leave the house and meet some friends with my husband.

I couldn’t fit in anything I had. So we went shopping and I had a breakdown in the car on the way back.

Later on, on our trip back home I was checking my Instagram and saw one of my best friends (I have 3 big girl friends) picture (she lives in Brazil like I used to). I was remembering old times and telling my husband how she was popular with the boys back then, all the boys would fall for her.

My husband said:

- oh really? I always found K______ more attractive.

Until then it was fine since he was comparing both of my friends but then he went:

- I hope you don’t take me wrong, you’re my favorite. But K_______ is very attractive. And I’m sure you find some other guys more attractive then me too.

😞

I’m so hurt. I feel so ugly. At first my thought was “well... I’m going to loose the extra weight eventually” but now I feel unfixable.

I talked to him, he said the things you can predict he would say to make me feel better but he can’t unsay what was said.

Just want to make clear that my husband is not the asshole kind of guy. He is actually a sweet person. So maybe that’s why those words came like a punch on my face.

I’m sorry for the long text, I just had to vent a little since I can’t tell this to my friends.
