Many of us guys could care less about stretch marks. They are usually scars earned by some sort of tough battle, either with weight, or bearing a child. My wife (Perkymeli here) has a few (don't tell her I said that in public) and I think they are Hot!

No one I've ever been with has cared that I have stretch mark scars. Maybe I've just been lucky, but they care more about who I am than a handful of scars.0

One day when I was fussing about stretch marks and saying I would have to swim in shorts forevermore instead of the bathing suit I was staring at in the mirror, my oldest son smiled at me and said, "What stretch marks? All I see is tiger stripes and they look great on you, Mom!"

No brownie points. There was some nastiness going on earlier in the forums and I wanted to add my 2 cents0 -

They fade with time. Our kids are all teens now and they just look like little light colored lines, unless you are really close and most people aren't going to be that close to my wife's tummy or hips . .LOL0 -

OMG - I call them tiger stripes too! Luckily, I have a husband like yours who doesn't mind them...thanks goodness!0 -
:bigsmile: YAY! Thanks for sharing that male perspective.
I'm slowly but surely learning to love my stretch marks. They are definately "battle scars" for me, a badge of honor that shows that I survived a few eating disorders and worked really hard at controlling my weight.0 -
You are kind. My hubby loves me no matter what I look like. As I have aged I have accepted the stretch marks but I can accept the extra skin... this is why I work so hard. I want a perfect tone tummy!!!0

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 way0
