What is funny about the security guard saying I looked nice was that he was also a 20 something guy. Funnier is I started wearing only things that look attractive on me. I tossed out heaps of clothes. I bought more of the things I was getting compliments in.
One of those things was golf skirts. I wear those to walk in. I look great in them. H had made the bold statement on one of his brief "We are getting back together" spells that I was to never wear skirts or dresses again.
He thinks I look awful in them. I think he has my flaws under a microscope, and they look 100X's worse to him than to normal people. I have slightly heavy legs, even when I loose weight. And for some odd reason he gets all weird about it.
I will tell you all that he has big solid legs of his own. He lifts weights and looks great. But if he is standing with a group of men all in shorts, he has the heaviest legs. I sometimes think he is projecting that self-loathing onto me.
Oddly, when we were leaving Tampa I had a huge yard sale and he went into my closet and brought out all my dresses and hung them on the sale rack. This was around the time he had decided to leave me the first time, them begged me to take him back.
I should have realized then that that sort of action requires therapy. Anyway, I shy away from dresses and skirts due to his weirdness. I did buy 4 dresses this year and have started wearing them. I have decided I am what I am and what you see s what you get.
HOWEVER, I am grumpy as heck. SOMEONE ate all the ice cream. That is so mean. I have been wanting something all day, finally went to the freezer, and GONE, BABY, GONE.....
My H also brought up with me that I said I would have the whole house staged and ready to go on the market by the time he got back from DC. I bit my tounge and didn't say that he told me he wasn't seeing OW on his trip, too.
Guess we are both big fat liars!
