Not sure what to think of this comment..

Bit of back story. Ive had a baby every year for the last 3 years. Im currently 22 weeks pregnant. When I fell pregnant with our first in 2022 I was a healthy 80kg, attended the gym regular, ate well, walked alot, you get the gist.

3 years down the line, pregnancy has taken its toll. Im around 93kgs, veen extremely poorly over the last few years during pregnancy. Admitted to hospital more times then I can count. Suffered sever Hyperemesis Gravidarum, im severely anaemic with a ferritin of 7. Awaiting an infusion. Just you know, alot. I have been feeling insecure about a number of things, body changes ect and my DH is especially attractive. Very authentic, loves the gym etc. So I feel im constantly comparing myself to other women.

He this evening has said to me.. and I quote...
"I wish you walk more. You've lost definition in your bum. I used to love your bum and now i just like it"
(I can barely breathe lying down never mind walking to get a better bum).
This is followed by a comment from this morning where he was winding me up with a pair of the babies socks. When I was trying ti get them. He kept dropping them on the floor. So I just huffed but I wasnt mardy or angry, just more like hurry up ive got an appointment and he said
"You'll know when I dont love you anymore, ill stop winding you up. Either I dont love you or something else is going on with someone else"

And im honestly hurt by these comments more so because hes NEVER ever said anything like this and i dont know how to take it or if im just being a hormonal mess.

Please can I have an outsider perspective, men and women. Not arsed if its harsh truth. Thanks.

In the kindest way op you need to stop having babies with this awful man.

Especially when it's making you so ill. This isn't benefiting you or your current children.

I’m assuming given you have choosn to have four children with this man that generally he is unusually loving, kind and helpful? If so, I’d assume he’s having a brain fart day and you may want to mention how it made you feel later when less emotional about it. If not, well then I’m not sure why you have continued to have babies with him.

Sounds like a twat.

What do you mean by 'authentic'?

Typo for athletic I think...

Arlanymor · 18/11/2025 20:58

Why he is being so horrible to you? Because he is. He is being totally horrible and playing on your fears. Which ironically makes him the most unattractive man on the planet, no matter how many times he goes to the gym... you can't exercise your way to a nice personality.

Letmeloveyou · 18/11/2025 20:58

He’s a dick! Why keep having babies with him?!

jamcorrosion · 18/11/2025 20:58

No that’s not acceptable. Is he a good husband in general? Some men are not awful people but speak without thinking and/or are thoughtless or just stupid. Are you happy generally?

If you’re in a usually good marriage and you’re both happy I would sit him down and explain how it made you feel - tell him everything you’ve written in here. How he reacts will tell you lots.

yeesh · 18/11/2025 20:58

He is an utter twat

Sillysoggyspaniel · 18/11/2025 20:56

He's a dick. Not acceptable.

He's an arse and he's not showing you any respect.
