Basically had a row with him because we hardly ever have sex and he said maybe I should put effort into the way I look to make him want to have sex and it’s my job to doll myself up blabla … I’m 7 months postpartum with baby 2 still haven’t
Lost the baby weight actively trying though, my old clothes don’t fit me
So I’m stuck in my gowns for now I can’t afford to buy a new wardrobe I barely have any time to myself I do everything for both kids I do pretty much 95% of the house work and even that 5% he does he leaves half the jobs for me.
I’m crying on the bathroom floor rn feeling like an ugly whale I just feel so low and lonely and I hate this and I’m trying my best not to self harm really struggling idek why I’m writing this here

I just feel he should think il beautiful all the time but apparently he said that’s not normal and all men would say the same
