SO we have a big family wedding in a couple of months. I will be about 6 months pregnant - I've put on alot of weight - I mean alot about 2 stone - in the first trimester what with appetite going haywire. Huge boobs. Feel really fat and unattractive. Money is tight so I'm doing the best I can to get an outfit together out of the housekeeping.
My dress arrived from ebay; I tried it on - I was really pleased, it's very flattering. DH gets home from work that eve. Me - "My dress arrived - would you like to see it?" DH - "No"
So a week or so later I decided to try the outfit on - walk into the room, DD gasps, "mummy you look beautiful".
Dh has to be prompted to even notice dress by DD (despite huge floral headgear thing) His comments include
- why do you need a pashmina?
-what;s that on your head ? (it's actually only a flower hairclip, nothing OTT)
- well there's not much you can do with a maternity dress is there?
-I suppose you might lose some weight before then.
- your fat is overhanging your bra at the back (it's not - I checked in the mirror)
All with a face on looking at me like I was a piece of shit.
I'm now ridiculously upset - I know I've put on weight, I know my breasts are out of control.
It's actually what I've come to expect from him - I got a new jumper for Xmas and wasn't sure whether to exchange it or not and is response was "well it's better than all the other shit you've got in your wardrobe." I'm not a frumpy dresser either.
So is it - as he claims - honest of him to tell me how it is and how I look? Although I really thought I looked not bad considering...
