Hubby’s reaction

[Li60]

So I bought a few summer dresses online. I showed them to hubby who says, you’re not a size 8 anymore are you going to feel comfortable wearing those? My heart just fell to the ground silly I know but it was really hurtful. For the record I’m a size 10-12 and happy with my weight, after years of restrictive eating and running 50-60 k a week. The dresses are beautiful nothing shortish, bright colours very flattering fit.

Do not ask if you do not want an honest opinion.

Jesus

Hé knew I ordered a size 10/12

Tell him to fuck off... horrid man!

Do you have the receipt to return?

The husband this is.

He's an insensitive massive twazzock. Does he know you struggled with restrictive eating etc?! Don't let this total pillock ruin all the work you've done to have a healthy relationship with your body - please know he's a prize twunt at do not listen to him. What a dick.

Jealous little man.

How to get the Ick after one conversation.

Yes. Exactly that.

@Od130990

In other words he knows how good you're going to look in them so doesn't want you wearing them! Because he's insecure and doesn't want you attracting the attention of a decent man who isn't a massive bastard 👌🏼

This!

Horrible

What size does the dress go up to? 16?18?24? Tell your ridiculous husband that clearly the manufacturers think women in bigger sizes will enjoy wearing the dress or they wouldn’t be making and selling them in sizes bigger than an 8.
Wear whatever you like OP. Your husband’s can have an opinion but you can choose to ignore it!

Do not ask if you do not want an honest opinion.

@Prokupatuscrakedatus She didn't ask.

If his intentions were to make sure you’d feel comfortable, he could’ve confirmed that without mentioning a specific size. Comes across as a bit of a put down to me - if you weren’t going to feel uncomfortable before, you certainly might now (not that you should btw, I bet you look lovely)

Well I got the dresses today, tried them in and feel fab in them! Thanks for all the lovely comments !

Please tell me you don’t have daughters with this pig.

Good for you.

As posters sometimes write, you have ditched most of the weight you were carrying, but YOU have clearly another 10-14 stone to lose!!

Don't pay an ounce of attention to such a mean spirited man.

Enjoy your new buys.

He's a dick head.

Nasty. He wants you to feel bad about your appearance. That's not love.

Brilliant, I bet you look gorgeous

Has he ever put you down before or tried to knock your confidence?

What a dick! Size 10/12 is slim!

Prick.it wouldn't matter if your were size 8 or 20.bodies change,they ebb and flow as we and our life do.they shape as we do in life.they protect us and work with us if we let them.they become every size they need to be on this x-ray journey called life.they are our vehicle.we don't need to adore them all the time( though we can and should!) But we can respect the miracle they get us through half the stuff many of us face nowadays.and all bodies are good bodies.you could be very fat and still glorious.who says we get to a certain size and must feel shit.diet culture in our society us f rotten.its screwing us all up.there us no rule,no line on when beauty stops.health,pft people comments aren't about health it's about disorders thinking on smaller is better and that NOT true.
Go wear your dress luv and shine.

@kateandme Being overweight increases health risks.

Not that OP is anyway though.

Not necessarily.the two aren't mutual exclusive. You can not tell someone's health via there size.AT ALL. And regardless of size weight or health you can be beautiful,are worthy and should be respected,loved and complimented for being so. Nor should u be discounted from wearing beautiful dresses,at ANY size.
But no being overweight does tie hand in hand with health I'm afraid.thats diet culture myth. It's more harmful to weight cycle,be stigmatized and treated by a fat phobic society.thayt is harmful to health and increases many risks.
