Welcome ladies of the world. Despite our body types, how much fat we have, how tall we are, or if other people compliment us, we all have our insecurities about the way we look. Everyone wants to be beautiful, and everyone wants to be praised for it. At the very least, we expect our significant others to think we're beautiful and to tell us about it, boosting our self-esteem. Feeling beautiful in one's own skin is an important part of our confidence, regardless of what we look like. 

If we have a significant other who doesn't show us that kind of affection and compliments, then it can have a real effect on our ability to feel confident. Now being compared to other women in front of our face…is downright awful, disrespectful, and a nightmare for any man or woman. Get ready to kick off your day with an anecdote about a foolish husband, and his not-so-happy wife.

    My husband and I are both 28 years old and we were hanging out with our friends over the weekend. Theres this girl Sara(F21) that was at the hang out and she's a fitness girlie.

    much they lift. She also mentions. she's getting certified to be a personal trainer and then my husband said "my wife will be your first success story" he also said "yeah she needs to lose weight but she's been unmotivated and maybe if she has you training her then she will want to have a killer body too"

    Sara starts going on about how she use to be fat and she turned her life around after losing weight and how she majored in nutrition. My husband starts talking about my unhealthy eating habits and how I eat all the snacks in the house and I finished all the cake from my birthday in 2 days when my husband only had one slice of

    the cake. She was like "ooo I use to be like that. I get it I use to be 160 pounds" and my husband said "that's about how much my wife weighs, baby how much you weigh like 165-170 now?"

    My husband didn't even know he did anything wrong. He thought he was just having conversation and trying to help because I've been talking about starting my weight loss journey. I DON'T NEED HER HELP AND I DON'T WANT HER HELP. He goes "wow someone's jealous aww," he tried saying it in a cutesy way as if this

    allaboutwanderlust ⚫ 12h ago You handled that better than I would have. My face is very loud, and everyone would know I was planning a murder. That was so inappropriate of him to talk about your weight to another person. In public.

    CutiePie 156 • 12h ago WOW. I was FUMING reading this. I can't imagine my significant other doing this to me. Not okay at all. Not sure if you're asking for advice here or just venting, but I would have a long talk about this with your hubby, because that should never

    Humiliating your partner and putting them down in front of others is a type of abuse. Trying to bully you into losing weight and then dismissing how you feel about it all is also incredibly

    ACM915 12h ago He DID disrespect you and he knows he did it. So now he will make excuses and gaslight you. I guess you could try and sit down and talk to him again. Or simply tell him you are done putting up with his disrespectful
