    One day when I was sharing the bathroom with my husband he asked me what where those marks on my stomach (mind you i've never been pregnant and he knows that). I replied they are stretch marks. He then says to me "Were you ever pregnant?". My jaw dropped to the floor. It made me feel awful. They had never really bothered me until that moment. I told him that it was because I got fat since i've been with him and stormed out. Thank you for posting this it made me feel better. Your wife is lucky you think that way

    Excuse me, but what an a**hole!!!:angry:

    ugh, no kidding...and btw, men get em too. I had a friend who took off his shirt and his belly was covered with them.

    Ya, but my belly is furry enough to cover them up. Not a good look on a girl!

    I accepted my stretch marks after my first was born, but after my second - I have a harder time accepting them now. I feel like they're never going to go away. I will never be able to wear a bikini if I wanted to without thinking someone will be looking at my stretch marks. Mine go all the way up and down my belly - from below my pants line all the way practically to where my heart is. They've faded to the white lines, but they're still SUPER wide and the skin is flabby. I'm scared no amount of exercise will get rid of it :(

    Even though, I don't have any children, I have stretch marks on my behind from a growth spurt in my early teens. I believe it is unfortunate that stretch marks are air-brushed out in magazines. As an adult, I've accepted them. But when I was younger, I had a negative body-image. Thanks everyone for posting. :flowerforyou:

    Excuse me sir, but if you have any desire to impress females whatsoever you might want to take a hint from the OP. That is all.
