not dolled up and fat!

Thats it really.

I had a conversation with him over the last few nights about his lack of affection, only ever showing me he loves me when he wants sex, and only ever being complimented when I have dressed up and made an effort.

As a SAHM, I tend to get up, get washed, chuck on jeans and a top and run a brush through my hair and thats it, as it is more comfortable than "dressing up" to be with the girls all day.

It has come to light that he feels i have totally let myself go, need to lose a lot of weight and start wearing clothes that make me look better.

Although I totally understand his point, I am quite upset that he cant show me he loves me when im in scruff clothes. We are totally skint, so cant afford to go out and buy nice new clothes, so other than try and work on losing weight, I feel like I am losing a no-win battle.

Im not really sure why I am posting this - he is right and I know he is, but I just dont know where to start in making myself more "desirable" for him.

We have a good marriage generally but I get hurt at the fact he doesnt show me he loves me, he tells me all the time, but does nothing to back it up.

Thats it really.... feel free not to post.... because I dont really know what I expect to gain from posting this! Just wanted to let it all out I guess.

Thanks for reading.

Well.... DH is home for 2 weeks sick leave so I have NO excuses NOT to get out there, get looking for decent clothes and finally get a bloody haircut!

I am off to town ON MY OWN this afternoon..... will take the car so I can then go and see what Asda and Tescos have.

I have a budget of £40 to spend today - inc haircut (usually £18 or so) so £22 to spend on something nice. Will even look in charity shops as I am that determined to get something nice just for me.

With regards to the hair..... bob style ok is it? I have no clue!

Ask the hairdresser to say what suits you. They do this all day every day so they have a good idea about what cut suits what person.
