Trophy Husband

Nov 08, 2006 11:05

Is it wrong of me to objectify my husband's looks? I mean, every time I look at my husband's photo when he isn't around I keep thinking "damn, I got me one of them trophy husbands". It's just that his face is impossibly appealing to me. I've always been most drawn to "the face" when it comes to physical attraction. What I mean is that I never ( Read more... )

By the way, it is a tough job to be thin! montecristo November 9 2006, 01:25:51 UTC

Stop treating yourself as if you are a total failure of will and discipline. It's not only not true, it's also counterproductive. There are SO many things working against human slimness out in the world. I just read an interesting article in New Scientist today about some of the factors, totally outside the individual's control, which militate against thinness. Among these are the cessation of smoking and insomnia, of all things! You can honestly expect to put on some weight while pregnant, and if you breastfeed, it will be a little more difficult to shed as well, because you'll be hungry to replace what your body gives away to the baby. Stop fretting. Watch what you munch and then exercise a sensible health regimen after your son is born. I know you'll be successful. ; )

Yeah, yeah I KNOW all of this. Like I said I wasn't looking for advice, or compliments, I am just documenting how I feel right now. You know, one day I may look back and say to myself "oh, so that's how I was feeling right then". Have you missed the part where I also admit in this entry (more than a couple of times) that I'm a good looking girl? Well, I didn't.

Chill on telling me to chill.

Nevertheless, I spout compliments and advice gratuitously, whether solicited or not. I will, nevertheless, try to get a handle on it. Sorry. I'll stop giving you The Comfy Chair™.

Yes. I saw where you reasonably assesssed your own attractiveness. This is a good thing. Sorry about my nose. I suppose that I am overly sensitive to otherwise lovely women kicking themselves though. My dear ex suffered, at various times in our life, bouts of depression and watching someone denigrate or doubt their own value is corrosive to the souls around them as well. Heh. Okay, overly sensitive to the condition -- guilty as charged. I see how you are made of Sterner Stuff™. Point taken.

Don't get me wrong--I appreciate the kind words, and this is the stuff I need to hear now and again. One thing with Michael is that he says he tells me I'm beautiful every day, when in reality he tells me that a few times a month but I KNOW he thinks that I am. It's just that sometimes we all need to be reminded that we are admired. Let's say we all agree on that point ( ... )

I understand. We but see each other through keyholes in this medium.

Your spouse thinks about telling you what is on his mind and heart every day. You know this because he claims to do so. He believes it is so because it is what he intends. Obviously, it is something he desires to do, -- it's on his mind -- even if it makes it to his tongue a bit less frequently than you would wish. Heh. I know what it's like. My poor ex was not as verbal as I would have wished, either, yet she did try, in other ways which I sometimes missed, to tell me what she felt. You have to be careful of that kind of miscommunication, or it will bite you. Take if from me. Why do I tell you this trivial bit of folksy wisdom? It is because it is easy to forget, after you've been married awhile, and if you do consult this record in later years, you may be glad to be reminded of it ( ... )
