to get a bit sensitive when my DH says

I look "ugly"????
Had DS 6 months ago, lost most of baby weight - I'm a size 8-10, but still a bit(some days a lot) of baby ouch. Can't remember ever putting make up on, except once or twice we gone out, since then.
I try to laugh it out and joke back: "look at your fat belly".
Maybe he is only joking, but sometimes I get a bit sensitive...
I am just being a whimper?

FGS he is an arsehole. He really is an arsehole.

If he loved you he wouldn't call you ugly, under any circumstances.

MilMae · 28/07/2010 20:57

meant pouch, not "ouch"

and

Am I just being a whimper?

(seems like the wine is doing the job.... )

He sounds a tad tactless, to say the least.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 28/07/2010 20:59

God he sounds like a real prize.

milliemoosmum · 28/07/2010 20:59

Have you told your DH it upsets you? If you have and he still says it then he's an arsehole and you're not being unreasonable.
PS - I would love to be a size 8-10!

thesunshinesbrightly · 28/07/2010 20:59

What a twat!!! on your behalf.

traceybath · 28/07/2010 21:00

Golly - there was another thread along similar lines recently.

Your DH is an idiot - talk to him about why he is being so obnoxious.

MilMae · 28/07/2010 21:03

millie... yes, I have told him, but still he says I don't look after myself anymore.
Tbh, I cant be bothered to walk all day on 5inch heels as I used to... neither can I (health and safety reasons) with a 6 month baby on my arms...
I am going back to work in Sept, so that should bring my old me back

thesunshinesbrightly · 28/07/2010 21:03

Maybe he is jealous of you and wants to keep you on your toes.

MilMae · 28/07/2010 21:03

tracey, sorry didn't see the previous thread

Tell him that being a tosser makes him completely unattractive.

Habbibu · 28/07/2010 21:04

He doesn't sound worth making an effort for tbh. Has he always been this much of a tosser?

MorrisZapp · 28/07/2010 21:06

Did you know he was this shallow and rude before you got pg?

Surely he should have more love and respect for the mother of his child than this. Bloody poor show OP, you deserve a million times better.

MilMae · 28/07/2010 21:06

noble

Habbi, no, he wasn't, just in the last few months...

OP posts:
Alibabaandthe40nappies · 28/07/2010 21:06

You have had his child.

FGS what a twat.

thesunshinesbrightly · 28/07/2010 21:07

'I am going back to work in Sept, so that should bring my old me back'

That made me feel

traceybath · 28/07/2010 21:09

Oh I didn't mean there was another thread so don't post.

Its just very sad that so many men are so mean to their wifes.

And you know a size 8-10 is tiny.

susitwoshoes · 28/07/2010 21:10

for goodness sake. You're looking after your (ie his too) child. I haven't worn make up for months, am still wearing some maternity stuff and have no money to buy new clothes so end up wearing the same stuff 4 days on the trot.

Maybe he could take some time off, look after his baby and treat you to some pampering. For your benefit of course, not his .

Tch!

booyhoo · 28/07/2010 21:12

he sounds awful. tell him it isn't acceptable and that he needs to examine how much respect he has for you.

Carbonated · 28/07/2010 21:12

Perhaps he would find it as funny if you joked about his small penis?

Seriously, no one who loved you would call you ugly.

What?

No way!

TheOldestCat · 28/07/2010 21:19

He's an arse. You must tell him this is not on.

I had DS five months ago and I really do look rough. But DH tells me all the time I'm still lovely (love is blind).

You are not being sensitive.

OldestCat - quite. DH told me I was beautiful and meant it only a few hours after I had an emcs with DS. Pictures show that I looked puffy, drugged and haggard, but to him I was and always am beautiful.

OP this is so sad I'm sorry you're married to such a horrid excuse for a man.
