This is awesome! :laugh:

Oh, honey, I'm too old to be insecure about who/what my husband is looking at. He's gonna look - he's a man. But, I guarantee you he doesn't stare and he doesn't care. :)

How did you guess? I'm totally Amish...and go to the beach and own a computer...

Well said. :)

No, I'm slow and stupid. What's a quote? *sigh* You were tying my comment about being a prude to swimsuits. Never anywhere in this thread did I say I had a problem with swimsuits or people posting pics in swimsuits - bikinis, fine...thongs, not so much.

Your "thong" pic isn't exactly the type that is being discussed here, though. We can't see your butt (thankfully - not asking to or complaining that I can't! lol)

Thanks - that's gonna come in handy. :)

Just look away...or you might be called a prude.

It's just as charming as the insinuation that those of us who prefer not to are prudes, right?

A few weeks ago, I was at the beach and there was a girl there with a rockin' body wearing a thong bikini. She was just to the left of where we were seated, so I basically couldn't look down the left side of the beach without seeing her butt cheeks. So, it's easy to say "just don't look". But, what about having…

Please show me where the OP says bikini. :) p.s. I'm flattered that you think I look good enough to wear a bikini right now! Still have a ways to go for that. ;)

I replied to the OP - which stated cleavage, thong shots, naked photos....nothing there about bathing suits. I'll be hitting the beach this weekend. Swim suit? Check! Hopefully a bikini by the end of summer. :)

Did you read the OP? It said " cleavage, thong shots, naked photos" I don't read swimsuits (or bikinis) in there anywhere. Do you? The cleavage...I've got plenty of it, but I wouldn't post a specific shot of it on this website. Not even if I was single.

This made me LOL for real. :laugh:

I'm a native Floridian - it's not about bikini shots. I don't like thongs at the beach, either...male or female. I don't need to know what that much of someone else's body looks like. As for the people saying just don't look - it's kinda hard not to when it's a profile pic or a ticker pic, or it's posted in a thread.…

If being a prude = not showing parts of my body that only my husband should see to strangers on the internet, then I'll stick with being a prude. :wink:

Sadly, some people *would* show their grandma...and be proud. lol But, alas, I agree that I don't need to see near as much skin as a lot of people tend to show around here...

I love your story. I love, even more, that you give the glory to God and put Him at the center of your relationship. May God continue to bless your marriage! :)

There are 18 of me using my married name. There are 8 of me using my maiden name. :)

I'm totally obsessed with the number on my scale. :blushing: But, you are so right! I'm fitting into pants right now that I did not fit into yet the last time I was at this weight (pregnancies back to back, so my weight has gone up and down the last couple of years). I was amazed to get into the pants I've gotten into, but…

Thanks! I'm always looking for stuff to do at my desk since I'm stuck at it for 8 hours a day! :)

The phone call at lunch yesterday to tell me he was thinking of me and loves me very much. Knowing that I'm on his mind and in his heart means the world to me! <3

I love your last line of this post. :) I love your weight loss story, too. I didn't start out with as much to lose, but I still had a big number in front of me to get out of the way. I just read your blog post about how you did it and was affirmed by what I read there that I'm going about this the right way. I'm about…

I had a particularly crappy work day when hubs and I were first dating and was telling him about it on the phone that evening. He asked if he could come over and hang out and I said yes. He showed up 45 minutes later with a bouquet of flowers and a 6-pack of beer. I was more excited about the beer than the flowers. ;) That…

Yeah, I'm reallllly glad hubs doesn't have any fetishes. o.O lol The thing about all of this, IMO, is that it is very difficult to separate feelings from issues when the issues are hurtful and damaging to the other person and the relationship. It's not easy to extract emotion and only deal with the cold hard facts (as guys…

QFT about the liars. When my ex and I were separated, a friend alerted me to his dating profile and boy did I have a good laugh over the gems I found there. I'd wish that I had seen it before I married him (so I could have run the other way), but I don't regret my kids. ;)

Meh. I was a single mom with two young boys for 3 1/2 years before I met my now hubs. I had ZERO luck with dating websites. They were mostly trolled by the same dudes, so no fresh options from site to site and none of the guys I met were worth more than a date or two. I was in my early 30s at the time, so maybe I was just…

If you're fishing, it can't be a bad day. :)
