or should my husband notice that I have straightened my hair and am wearing makeup?

[theevildead2]

for almost all of my pregnancy due to general feeling like crap I have not straightened my hair put on make up. Worn proper clothes (not trackies) outside of work.

So AIBU or should my husband notice that I have dressed up and done my make up and striaghtened my hair?

Feel a bit stupid now as he's been home sat across from me for a half hour and seems to not see any change.

He has however thanked me for tidying the bedroom. Good to see he notices some things

Perhaps he's frightened of upsetting you by pointing out that you look nice, in case you think he means you didn't look nice before.

Maybe.. that sounds like man thinking

Why don't you just say:

"Do you like my hair? I've straightened it. And I've got make up on."

And give him a Paddington Hard Stare.

It's what I do.

Did he tell you off for not straightening your hair or wearing makeup when you were pregnant?

If not, you can't have it both ways my dear

Paddington Hard Stare.

I like that

Mason that sounds like logic. Didn't come here looking for logic, just need everyone to say dh is a bastard. Help a hormonal pregnant woman.

BTW I normally have very long wild curly hair, so its pretty obvious when I striaghten it. I'm not being unfair expecting him to notice.

Maybe he honestly didn't notice (sounds like it).

Yesterday I wore the silk scarf DH bought for me while on a trip, I had to point it out to him at dinner-time.

It's v. frustrating though isn't it?

Actually he claimed he doesn't notice that kind of thing, but then an hour later he noticed I hadn't taken my mascara off to go to bed!

Oh jemais that is exaclty the sort of thing DH would do! and get annoyed I was going to ruin the pillow... sigh

DH probably wouldn't notice. But then he doesn't notice when I look like shite and am channelling Waynetta Slob (am also pg and being rather slack with grooming) so I can't have it both ways I think

Bastard

I had about four inches cut off and then dyed, nothing.

Bastard

feeling any better?

could it be that he loves you for you, for the person you are rather than how you look & regardless of what state your hair is in or if you have make up on or not?

Thank you Jonesy. That actually does make me feel better.
:)

No, he's just a Bastard

sorry that last one was meant for FindingGuysMojo,

and for you of course!

entirely possible FindingGuysMojo,

but it would kill him to say you look pretty today. WOuld it?

the bastard.

Ha ha jonsey, the bastard.

i like this game.

do you know, it's making me feel better too

Bastard

and again..

I put on comfy spotted pjs.

With bump, I look like a spotty backwards turtle. See if he notices that.

the bastard

Maybe he prefers your hair when it's curly rather than straight, bastard that he is.

my DB (Darling Bastard that is) is exactly the same!!

The bastard!

I wait all day for him to notice something and get peed off after hours or preening and twirling and come out with soe spiteful comment like "I take it you don't like my curly/straight hair? Hmm?"

"Oh yes dear looks lovely"

Bastard.

spotty backwards turtle

When I was heavily pregnant I wore a dark pink jumper and my friend kept squinting at me - 'what do you remind me of?' and then spat her coffee out when she realised 'it's Mr Greedy!!' she squeeeealed.

called her a Bastard an all.

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts, yes, the bastard

so many bastards jonesy71, why are there so many bastards? Why are there more than ever when you are pregnant?

He's a bastard.

evildead2 - forget the spotty pyjamas, go strip off and sit down naked and read a magazine - if he doesn't notice that then he's an even bigger bastard than first thought.

My DH noticed that my face has got fatter whilst he's been working abroad!

He said this morning on the Skype..."have you got a swollen face? Are you ill?" and I shrieked NO! I'M FAT! And banged the laptop shut....twas' mighty awful..

I am now on a crash diet....apart from the box of celebrations I just ate...they were in honour of Guy Fawkes.

Oh FMGS, the bloody bastardness of him.

Proper bastard. Like telly, webcam does add 10 pounds (maybe 20) so skip the diet and relax with your sweets (if you've got any left )
