My husband and I are going to Vegas for the first time. It's my graduation gift. I finally finished college at 44 years old. :bigsmile: I haven't focused on myself in a long time so I'm just starting back with healthy eating and exercise again. Anyway, I decided to buy a sexy dress...well for me anyway. It's not very revealing, but it shows more skin (arms and some back) than I'm used to. I put it on and showed my husband expecting a good reaction. I got "it's a nice dress" and "It's just not something you would usually wear". Well, HELLO of course not. My feelings are really hurt and I'm just feeling so down because I let myself go and somewhere I lost "it". I've never been the girl anyone ever said was beautiful, but I always had the "cute" thing going for me. I just feel old, fat, and ugly.

    Hold on...hold on...wait just a minute here. You are being WAY too hard on yourself girl! First of all, men never know the right thing to say in situations like that. They panic like a deer caught in the headlights at the very mention of....."how does this make me look?" At least mine does anyways. It sounds like he loves you a whole lot to take you on a celebatory trip to Vegas for your major accomplishment. Congrats on the degree! You're gonna tear that town up in your new dress!

    hey, don't worry men are not what you would call the most expressive sort of person. From my point of view i think that he thought you were beautiful but was thinking about all the other men that would look at you in vegas. Perhaps he has some insecurities about your new look and feels a little outshined by you. :happy:

    I think your husband is now probably suffering from foot-in-mouth disease :laugh:
