Self-conscious..

So today my husband told me that I've been putting on some extra weight all over, he basically made me feel like I'm a pig. Pointing out where I've gained weight and then asking me if I plan on even losing the weight. Since he said that I don't want to eat. I feel so unattractive I don't want to get dressed in the same room as him. It actually really hurt my feelings when he said that. Now he just tells me that I never do anything  around the house when he's at work but I do a lot.  I do all of the cooking and cleaning, make sure the bills are paid, pack his lunch for work and do all the laundry. Lately he's just been making me feel like crap and I hate it.

Then you need to STOP doing so much for him! I'm a mom of 7 soon to be 8 and when i was married (seperated for a year) he would say things like that. Mind tou I worked full time and took care of the house,bills, cooking, cleaning, washing, him and the kids. So, when said that once I STOPPED. I didn't make dinner I didn't do dishes he never had clean clothes I STOPPED EVERYTHING. Sometimes they get too comfy and take thosr things we do for granted and we need to remind them. He then apologized and helped out more too. And DO NOT LET HIM TALK TO YOU THAT WAY. I understand you're pregnant and emotional and it hurts BUT YOU DESERVE RESPECT. I'm sure he doesn't look hot all the time. You stick up for yourself and don't cry! No! You tell him, "hey, how about YOU carry the baby and I kerp my figure? That's right YOU CAN'T I CAN. SO SHUT IT" Don't let him or anyone else tell you that. I've neber experienced that but I have friends who have. And honestly me and my friends have potty mouths so I don't hold back. Maybe you should tell him to shut it. You are maing a HUMAN BEING. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND PRECIOUS AND YOU'RE BRINGING YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABY INTO THIS WORLD. THERE'S NOT A THING UGLY, FAT OR LAZY ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE A WOMAN AND A MOM. NO ONE CAN DO WHST YOU DO. AND WHEN YOU FEEL SAD AND DEPRESSED READ THIS OVER AND OVER. GOD MADE YOU PERFECT. AND IF YOU GET LAZY SOMETIMES, SO WHAT?! YOU'RE ENTITLED TO THAT. REMEMBER THAT. Feel better sweets :)
