I am fairly overweight, but even when not, have an hourglass figure. All tits and hips. Last night while watching the Olympics, my partner commented that he found the volleyball players very sexy. Seeing a body at its physical peak, in prime condition, at the top of its game...
Then I think he realised what he'd said, and the footage cut to male boxers, and he added, 'even these ones...' Fairly unconvincingly.
It crushed me. I am so upset. Especially as his last partner does have an Olympian athletic body - boyish hips, flat chested, muscular, lean, fit. The opposite of me. I feel vile.
I'm trying to get perspective. I know we all have crushes, and they're often on people nothing like our partners, but that doesn't mean we don't think our partners are sexy. But I'm just so sad. It's not just that I'm different. I'm opposite.
Would you have been upset?
