May I have a private post please?
I need a rant.
Basically, I’m going to a wedding in a few months and have been looking through some outfits on the internet on what I could wear. I had my second baby 7 months ago and I also have a 2 year old, and no my body didn’t bounce back and I’ve probably gained weight due to PPD, a prolapsed uterus and trouble with my contraception ,anyway, I asked my partner what he thought of a dress I found and he said ” why don’t you start doing sit ups and stuff of an evening”
I don’t know what to say to him. He’s been working overtime so it’s just been me and the kids at home.
Am I being completely over sensitive or what?? I feel like bursting into tears.

  • I’m always moaning about my mummy tum so my partner ses to get on my exercise bike or to do excerices in the house. I agree with him but can never be bothered Lol! I no he means gd. He’s not necessarily having a dig about ur shape/size x

  • I agree with everyone else he probably thought he was helping. Why don’t you talk to him about how you’re feeling with your body and let him know what you need is supportive comments not helpful fitness tips. What you want is for him to say you’d look amazing in a bin bag – or at least that’s what I need 😂 I had that talk with my husband and he only gives supportive comments. If I bring up fitness, he supports that but does suggest it to me first as even with the best intentions, it can be picked up wrong.
    As a woman though, control pants work wonders! 😉 you’ve grown two humans that has made a difference to your body! Check out Fuller Figure Fuller Bust for some inspiration if you need it for some body positivity. Wish you all the best, I know how hard it can be x
    *as a side note, did you say to him do you like this dress and he replied with that? If so, he’s not being helpful he’s being an idiot.

  • I was moaning about my butt so my partner suggested I start wearing heels again (used to wear them all the time) to perk it a bit. I had never been so offended in my life 😆😆😆😆 I now see the funny side but at the time I told him to shove where the sun don’t shine lol!

  • My husband would and has said the same to me in the past. I am at home on my own a lot of the time. I know how you are feeling a lot of the time I would feel like crying and would when on my own about what was said and how I feel , as I am struggling with the weight after my 3rd. It will get better you will feel better take your time and love yourself for being you. X

  • he probably just see’s your insecure and thought that his ‘advice’ might help, men have a funny habit of saying stupid things at inappropriate times, I am sure he was most likely just trying to be helpful, buy the dress if you like it, I’m sure you’ll look fab :* xx

  • He probably he thought he was helping. Men think completely different to women
