My husband and I do have our problems but I can't tell if most of it is because of my previous experiences. I have trust issues and he has never done anything wrong to me, I (like most woman) feel like I should completely change my body because I don't think I'm what he wants, I walk w/my head down because I feel insecure because I have seen him check out girls around me, and I shut down because I've never had anyone actually care about my feelings (my family always treated me like I was overreacting.) My husband does but because of the situation w/ my ex and my family I don't know how to open up to him and by the time I do its too late. I recently had a baby who is an angel but is extremely fussy. With me being out he had to work a lot and like a mom w/a new baby and a two year old. I feel like he doesn't see how much I actually do
Hi, I have a beautiful girl too, I had post natal depression , and it has taken nearly five years to beat it. One thing I have learnt is that until you have been there no one will ever no how you truly feel. I have had the same feelings, I hate most parts of my body and I'm sure my husband likes the look of plenty of others, I have given him a lot of grief and he has stuck by me , just like your husband will you, I found the best way to beat it was to treat yourself have a day away from the kids and buy a new outfit, spend time having a bath and getting ready take you hubby out for a meal and talk to him, I know mine never listened, but he cared and tried to understand, and we are good now, it is hard but you are the only one who can beat it , I have my doubts over my husband with trust, but if there going to do something nothing you say will change it . Try counselling I have heard it can help to talk about it. Good luck and be positive.
