I apologise in advance if this post is rambling, it is a little hard to explain.
My babygirl is 5 weeks old, and from the moment she was born, my husband has declared that she is his spitting image and that she looks nothing like me. To be fair, she does look a lot like him, and my husband is a very good looking man, so this is not a bad thing, but what I am finding difficult is the fact that my husband is so ^happy she looks nothing like me. He is nothing short of relieved. Now, I am not am unattractive person, I am just not perfect model material. My husband tells me that I am beautiful, so I am hurt that he seems to be so thrilled that our daughter doesn't look like me. For example, the other day I said 'oh, maybe she'll have my smile.' His response was 'No, hopefully she will have mine. I've got a beautiful smile. You have nice hands though, she has your hands.' I felt really hurt by this because I felt like he was saying I don't have a nice smile and he wouldn't want his daughter to have it.
To make it worse, when his family come to visit, they all comment on the fact that she looks nothing like me and then say that I am really lucky she looks like my husband. When a friend commented on what a beautiful child we have, my husband's response was 'Of course! She's my child!'
I don't know if I am just paranoid, or if I am justifiably feeling hurt. Can someone please give me there perspective?
TIA
