in Chit-Chat
So I am super proud of myself because I just lost ten pounds that I had trouble losing, but my SO wont tell me I look better than I did before. My SO does this thing where he doesn't complement me according to fitness or weight, it's like he thinks if he says I look good now that is insinuating that I didn't look good before. But he talks in his sleep and that's when I find out he thinks I'm hot. So, essentially he's lying to me. It's sabotaging my eating and exercising because its like he doesn't care! I'm getting so fed up of this and thinking I should just gain it all back again. And don't tell me I should do this for me. We've been together for twenty- five years now; it's practically a symbiotic relationship.

    If the pic of you in blue shorts is 10 lbs ago, I see an improvement.

    Unsolicited...but relevant...talk to your best friend and tell him what you're feeling.

    You can only blame women for coming up with the "Does this make me look fat" question. Now you are on the other side of it. Welcome to our hell. We can't say anything...even compliments without it getting twisted or misunderstood.


    To be honest, all the "gaining it back" talk sounds crazy. You just worked to lose weight and you're gonna undo it because you aren't hearing what you want? Tone it down a notch, maybe he won't be so scared to compliment you.

    Ahhh what a shame he doesn't praise your progress, so nice to have compliments now and then....so we can feel good!! I would speak to him about it? I'm sure you would compliment him if he wanted to loose weight, and did!!

    You are right on:). That's exactly what he said!

    What.
    When my fiance talks in his sleep all I learn is that there are sugar gliders all over the house running around.

    I guess I am not asking the right questions.

    After 20 years of marriage I got nothing left but honesty. If she hasn't thrown me out by now, there's not much I can say to get in anymore trouble than I already do on a daily basis.

    It's a moment where he needs to know, it's ok to give a compliment, and you of course know the "hey you look sexy" doesn't mean you didn't before...

    Moral? We're guys... We're idiots...

    All men are d-bags. DTMFA is the only appropriate answer in these situations.

    This is easy. He can be your bf in the bedroom and you can get other bfs for other parts of your life.

    Kick his sorry butt out! You shouldn't have to endure another 25 years with him not telling you several times a day how sexy you are. Geesh! Some guys just don't have a clue. Or, maybe like Steph said, just smother him with a pillow and put him out of his misery so he won't go off and treat another woman like that. You'd be doing a service for humanity!

    He thinks you looked good 10 pounds ago, and he thinks you look good now.. Still doesn't explain to me why you think he's "sabotaging" you...

    Sounds to me like YOU'RE the one who needs a mindset change,

    He sounds like a real peach. I can't believe you'd put up with someone who keeps you up at night by talking in his sleep, regardless of what he says about your hotness.

    I posted this earlier but I think it applies in this situation as well.

    " What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

    My husband is currently sleeping but not talking. Should I be worried?

    I suggest that you buy him 10 of these shirts, and pitch all of his others. That way he has to wear it every single day. Problem solved.

    Men can be pretty unobservant. Husbands in particular. You are extremely hot! :heart:

    It seems a little bit like he is just trying to not piss you off :tongue: ..
    Kick his butt and tell him to be honest with you! As long as y'all have been together tell him it wont hurt your feelings.

    I have an Edmonton Eskimo's jersey you can borrow for football season, when he asks where you got the jersey from, tell him some guy who says you re a sexy football fan leant it to you.

    Sexy is a state of mind, you have it going on.

    Keep up the hard work.

    25 years, that husband of yours should be thankful.
