When we first got together I use to wear nice stuff and he use to buy me really high end sets for b-days and xmas. Over the years I became more practical - washing and sorting just ended up being too much trouble. Lace gradually made way for practical breathable cotton - bras became practical (read: easy to wash). About a year before BD I started buying and wearing nice stuff again. My clothes started getting a bit tighter as well. My kids were getting bigger and less demanding and I could be FS again and not just mummy. A part of me wanted him to start looking at me the way he use to. I never said anything to him, just bought and wore the stuff.
It seemed he didn't take a blind bit of notice of changes. Or maybe he did notice (he would sit on the bed scrolling through his phone whilst I got dressed in the morning).
... that jealousy thing keeps cropping up in my head ... why didn't I see it ?!?!?
