First, I know what it is like to be rejected or semi-rejected when you had agreed ahead of time that there would be sex during ovulation. I am so with you there.




Thank you my sister in husband induced hysteria.

One of those events also led to a conversation with H that resulted in some placating behaviors and later, him reverting back to his same ol crap. I don't know that I have any suggestions other than to gently, firmly call him on the crap.





I should clarify that his cr*p behavior is what I believe to be his "offense is the best defense" approach to avoiding sex with me. He probably assumed that I would want to have sex yesterday since I didn't get any on the weekend because I was having a heavy period. He wasn't in the mood so he acted like a jerk all morning. It really makes me livid that he frequently acts jerky in response to me eating. It's like it's not enough to simply tell me I'm fat he wants to drive me into complete anorexia. I sat down at the coffee table with a bowl of grape nuts and he gave me a look that I could best describe as the look the mean cool kid would give to the fat kid if the fat kid dared to sit down at the lunch table with him. Fortunately for me, I gave myself a little reality check before I reacted to his behavior. I just checked off some little boxes in my mind. Have I been overeating lately? No. Have I in fact lost a few more pounds recently? Yes. Have I also been working out like a fiend? Yes. Do I in fact look pretty good today? Yes, I am wearing new green t-shirt which several people have complimented me on and my hair is especially cute and fluffy today. Therefore is my H simply acting like an irrational *sshole who I should ignore? Yes. -So, that's what I did.
