husband surprised me

So tonight after I took a shower and braided my hair in pigtails, I do this for it to dry wavy. I was joking around and asked my husband how I looked. He looked at me and said sexy, and he was serious. Now as to why I was so surprised about that, my husband has had problems with depression throughout our relationship. When he got really bad he became withdrawn when it came to sex and intimacy. And I was when I was around 210lbs or so. So he would blame my weight on it. Now he is doing much better and is on meds and everything, but my weight and any kind of sexual or intimate comment kind of became taboo because of things he had said in the past. He has apologized for what he said, forgot to mention that. I just reached my 20lb down Mark but it really surprised me. Cuz I Def do not think I'm sexy. All I see right now is all the little stretch marks showing up on my belly since it is deflating lol.

    Did you drag him into the other room while he was in that mindframe?

    why do you put such personal and private information all over the internet perhaps this is contributing to your husbands problems cause if I was your husband and I am glad I am not I would be so pissed I would be on meds too

    I do not appreciate your comment. Last time I checked this was a motivation and support page, not a bring people down page and try to make them feel like crap page, which by the way you didn't. I did not mention him by name, or even have him in any of my pictures on my profile so no one on here, unless they know me personally have no idea who I am or my husband. Also my husband has clinical depression, maybe you should drag out a dictionary and look it up. Have a merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

    I think that is wonderful. Having suffered from depression I understand completely how much it means to be able to open up again.

    OP I think this is lovely, & a big boost for both yourself & SO! If intimacy is missing in a relationship then it's never easy for anyone involved. Sounds like things are changing for the better in that direction :wink:
