My husband got upset with how I was dressed. I was going to go out in public without him and I was going to be with our 2 young children.

I was going to go to a clothing store (which is besides the point but just added for context)

Anyway, I was wearing a maxi dress that was in his words “semi-fitted”, it was fitted throughout my waist & fell loosely on my lower half. I was also wearing a denim jacket.

He found it weird that I chose to wear a dress today & said that guys will be looking at me & that I dress for attention.

I just feel really exhausted & I guess I just feel like I need validation that this is not okay.

He tells me things about how I dress constantly. If I wear leggings, shorts, beach pants, and now… a dress, he gets upset.

At this point I feel like I’m punished because of how my body looks. I have an athletic build with a bigger bum. I don’t know what to do anymore. It seems that wearing oversized clothes is the only thing that would please him.

But it’s ironic because he also has a very athletic build & only wears fitted clothes.

I’m just tired, I’m tired of crying, I’m tired of not being able to anywhere, I’m tired of being accused of looking for attention if I try to look pretty… I’m tired.
