Help with confidence

[Lina45]

Ive been with my partner for 2 years and he’s never seen me completely naked.
withbpast partners I e never had a problem with it. I think I’m a little worried how my tummy looks. I had emergency surgery 15 months ago and I have a c section like scar now and a little overhang.
it doesn’t help that my partners ex is a personal trainer and has a great body. What can I do as I’m tired of keeping my skirt on or hiding my tummy

Does your partner know of your concerns, he obviously knows about your C section, why do you think your partner isn’t going like seeing it. I wouldn’t worry too much about ex’s, they are ex’s for a reason.

You've been with each other 2 years and he has never asked to see you naked or stripped you? That itself is odd. Has he never tried? And his ex is someone he knew more than 2 years ago, why do you think she still matters? I think there are deeper self esteeem issues here and the openeness of your relationship. It might be time to speak to him, share your thoughts and how you can slowly move to being comfortable in being naked.

You’ve been together for 2 years so you both must love each other as you are, the whole person. His ex is an ex for a reason, “great body” and all, so hopefully that gives you confidence he loves you for being you.

Yes but I really dislike the scar and how swollen my stomach looks

This is the scar and the swollen tummy

Cmon, that looks fantastic. Stop worrying and get naked.

As a man I'd say there is 1000% nothing to hide. He will most likely have already seen it but not said anything about it because there is nothing to say. Talk your concerns with him so you can move forward.

That scar is nothing and you shouldn't be embarrassed about at all.
I think more than you being uncomfortable, it is your partner you need to think about. If he hasn't initiated to see you without clothes stripped when making love then that is the issue and not you.

Get some drinks in, watch something funny you both like, get laughing together,
then have a best scar competition, who has the best, how did they get it, get pen and turn them into silly pictures.

That's a fantastic idea!
As others have said - your tummy looks fine and nothing to worry about. Who hasn't got some blemishes on their body? it's life, so enjoy it and get naked together.

Darling, I see a beautifully healed scar. I have worse myself. I see my surgical scars as something to appreciate, to remind me of battles that I have overcome. I say this as someone who looks at wounds and scars at work a lot! You have nothing to be ashamed of.

No man is arsed about a scar like that when just below it is the prize they are all after.
