Now bare with me and please do understand DH has 1001 wonderful, redeeming and lovely qualities but today he is just annoying me. I have been trying to lose weight, had a long successful run, then plateaued - plan was to kick start it again and been eating healthily - I've lost 2 stone and have 2 stone to go. I also have a very heavy job, its full on through sept - apr especially and I recently was awarded my phd. In the last two hours he has hassled me about what I eat (I picked my sons three left over chips), what I drink (I suggested a glass of wine tonight), how much I earn (with the encouragement/ suggestion I should be earning more after the 'hassle' of the me doing a phd) and now just had a moan about not doing a workout every night of the week. It would be nice to feel that he likes me for how I am right now, right now in this moment! I know he wants me to be healthier (and I've know doubt its linked to health rather than looks), I know he worries about money (hence the job bit - I earn pretty well btw) but days like this I constantly am made to feel I need to be a little bit more. He gets anxious about stuff and I seem to take the brunt of it - he has iron strong will power so he decided a few months ago to stop drinking (anxious about health) - but expects me to jump on board with that, same as when he diet to completely change his diet, etc. I know this isn't his intention, but when I try to talk to him about it he just gets all defensive - he feels he is supporting me, I feel he is badgering me!
Just needed a safe place to rant really.
