Why can guys be so insensitive at times !!!
I know I've put on a lot of weight which has accelerated since last Dec,but it doesn't help when hubby reads your size in clothes and then says bluntly how big you are ! (Could hit him over head with frying pan !!!)
I'm starting weight watchers soon ,but wish fellas could just have more empathy and realize you feel bad enough about yourself already without them pointing this out .
What we really need is a cuddle and for him to point out our good points!!Rant over!!!!☺

Haha yer is he an oil painting!
I know what you mean as I get sometimes do you think your tablets are working which I see as your acting weird, angry ect.
Men are definitely off another planet I really think we need to spell things out to them.
I'd say how he made you feel, even send a text saying so he can actually read and take it in. Xx
Good luck with weight watchers xx

My DH long ago as a young man, said he might go off me if I got fat! So now I get pleasure in exaggerating how big his little paunch is! He has always been annoyingly slim. I tell him that soon he won't be able to see his wedding equipment! By the way I did put on middle age weight, but had to lose it for health reasons, not for him! He didn't go off me though!

I sometimes wonder what men see when they look at themselves in the mirror,
Obviously not what others see

Friend: Look, your husband is over there talking to another woman
Me: Let him, I want to see how long he can hold his stomach in
(I should say this is definitely not my OH as I am very blessed he has been so supportive, but it made me laugh
)
