'Should have tried harder to be sexy when pregnant'

12 replies

I asked DH why he barely touched me when I was pregnant and he he said that he found my changed body difficult to fancy. Apparently I should have tried harder to be sexy because I know that he's not attracted to overweight women. He than asked, 'how would you feel if I gained 100kgs?'. Well he's never going to be pregnant and now that I've lost the baby weight, he's all over me but I find him repugnant. He says I'm punishing him for having a preference. To be fair, I knew he was a shallow as paddling pool when we met and I probably was too, to my regret. Although he looks like he did when we first met, I'm no longer attracted to him. I asked him to make his personality sexy to me and he accused me of being petty. Am I?

My god put him in the bin

You definitely aren't being petty

He's not attracted to overweight women - What's that got to do with pregnancy? A pregnant woman is pregnant, not overweight!

And realistically we all change and age - what will he say in 20 years time? He's not attracted to older women, it's your own fault for not staying young forever??

So he wants you to grow his child without gaining any weight? Yeah he's a prick.

Sorry you are feeling like this OP but honestly what did you expect ? You knew what he was like .

Wow, he’s utterly repugnant, at least you’ve recognised it, many don’t. I hope you are in a position to be able to divorce op.

OrangePineapple25 · 02/06/2025 21:09

Sounds like the sort of man who’s head will be turned pretty easily…

outerspacepotato · 02/06/2025 21:12

He's really working that little dick energy, huh? 🤐

Praying4Peace · 02/06/2025 21:13

I can understand why you feel so repugnant re him now. It's difficult not to let his crassness and selfishness affect how you feel.
Will need to consider if this relationship can last.
Take care yourself OP

I'd suggest that 13 stone of dead man weight is the only weight you need to lose here. What a prick.

Guavafish1 · 02/06/2025 21:15

Sounds like you’ve outgrown this prince

His response & comments were vile, not sure why he would have even said that.

There is a huge difference between having a preference and being a cunt to your partner. I would not hold it against my husband one bit if he didn’t find me sexy while pregnant, God knows I didn’t feel particularly sexy myself when I was 4 stone heavier than normal with leaking nipples and being kicked inside out by a baby, but there’s no need for the way he has justified it to you as him not fancying “overweight women”.
