I'm having a setback. My H is still mostly doing every thing right. He's being affectionate, respectful, sexual and communicating openly. I know he's working hard to show that he values our relationship.
Here's the problem. He blamed me for his LD because I was overweight and lacked fashion sense, so he was mean to me because I was overweight and lacked fashion sense. I readily admit that I am more attractive now and I have no intention of gaining back the weight, but I feel sorry for fat me. Also, I have to ask myself why I want to be involved with a man who is only nice to me when I am thin. I know it has a lot to do with his own self-esteem, but sometimes I don't care. I know I'm regressing and being overly simplistic, but I've never seen a single movie or read a single book in which the ugly duckling turns into a swan and then lives happily ever after with the character who called her ugly and shunned her company.
