to have never let DH see me naked in 8 years?

[LolaRennt]

I mean he obviously has.. we have a child. But I've never actually walked past him in my birthday suit in the day light. Am I freak?

ps I am not a prude, I just don't like the look of me naked.

I can see this from both sides. Post DC, i had a stomach frankenstein would have been proud of and was so ashamed I had to cover up. I have never had body hang ups before and it really affected me on so many levels. I made the drastic step to have surgery on it (DH never commented on it by the way!) and I am now back to my former naked ways now. Without surgery I would have never been able to wander around as I do now. My body is definately not perfect (would LOVE a boob uplift post breastfeeding 2 DC's) but I would never have felt comfortable with the masssive effect 2 enormous DC's had on my stomach. All the fake tan in the world wasnt going to make me show that stomach off

same here lola....been with dp 11 years and never seen each other naked in the daytime....not a problem for us,it works the way it is and never really thought about it to be honest.We always lock the bathroom door when getting changed etc too.Sad maybe but its just normal for us...we are both very self concious people i suppose.
3rd dc on the way too.......think he mightve seen a bit when i was in labour but thats it.
Hey,i guess we're just weird

and just to say that i do understand that these things rub off on children but i frequently have my 2 DC's running about naked and i am very open with them when they ask me questions about their bodies...what bits are etc.
They have seen me naked alot too when i am showering etc so its not all a big mystery to them

Now thtas very interesting. Your children see you naked, but not your dh. Why's that then ?

I don't as my DH then always runs up to grab my boobs!

I always told myself if I lost all the weight I'd force myself to do that very thing.. But after dd I don't think weight loss would be enough! Maybe I will try anyway though.

ANyway it is nice to see I am not the only one, of all my friends in RL I am the only one so I was worried I was a total weirdo.

Btw, dd is only a baby so its not really an issue yet, but I will probably walk around naked in front of her too timewasting. Oblamov for me it will probably not be a big problem because nakedness to children has no real meaning. I want dd to see what people look like naked, and also even if she thinks mummy is a fatty it wouldn't destroy me the way it would if dh saw me and looked repulsed.

yep,i think lola has hit the nail on the head really....i dont feel like it has any meaning with the kids as they are very young,i might feel funny as they get older who knows.Its just the way i am i cant explain it.Im not overweight or anything being a size 8 or have any hang ups about any body parts in particular its just the way ive always been.Cant even bear to wear a swimming costume infront of anyone...wouldnt dare go to the beach and sit there in one and only feel a bit less on edge when im submerged in a swimming pool.Getting in or out i am very anxious
I have ishoos i suppose

OH loves that im always naked! i get up to pee naked, i make his coffee naked i sit about in just pants or sometimes a jammy top too, even if i put his dressing gown on i leave it open and im as saggy and wobbly as you can get tbf tho he's seen me naked at every size known to man in all our years and i feel pretty confident being naked in front of him as he is with me tho his body is perfect to me :)

lola im also a size 20 pre pregnancy with god awful boobies from BF and stretch marks from my lady bits right up to my boobs and in my 20's chin up you are not the only one :)

Lola, noooo, the point would be to make you see how beautiful you are now. And it's less intimidating than walking around naked because you can pose in ways that flatter your curves and of course there is flattering lighting and good music and whatnot.

And you'll never be this young again, is the other thing. I've not done boudoir shots myself, but when I was younger and thought I was hideous I paid for expensive photographs, which I still have, and I look at those and think fuck, I was just so gorgeous. And it makes me happy to have those reminders there. I'm sure that in ten years I'll look back at the family portraits we had taken on DD's first birthday and think the same thing, actually - look how young we were, how happy, how glowing.

Do it do it do it.

I am exactly the same.

My partner is one of those people who never ever puts weight on and is more desirable with age.
I have had 2 children and hate my body so much.
I lock the door all the time and never let him see me changing.
Sex is the same thing all the time - lights out and missionary.
I really do wish I had more confidence but at times Im not sure if it is a me issue or if my partner makes me feel insecure.
