The way things go...

May 31, 2009

May 31, 2009 - Unbeknown to me, I married a man who is more concerned about my PHYSICAL appearance than any thing else in my life.  Long story short, in the two plus years since I've had the gastric bypass, I have gained back approx. 20 pounds.  I currently weight 190.  We have just spent the majority if the morning in "negotiation" about the fact that I have changed.  He is stating that he does not wish to remain in a relationship with me if I am going to fail to maintain my weight.... In his opinion "physical appearance" is the most important thing to a man.  He is stating that if I am not going to improve my physical appearance than I am causing our relationship to fail....

My answer to this:  Kiss my (well use your imagination).  Today is no different from when I was a plus size princess.  I have never lived by any one elses rules.  I am happy, healthy and healed.... I do not need a MAN not even this man in my life to try to cause me to have self esteem issues.... I have run into someone who has self esteem issues and I am about to run like hell to ensure that he does NO MORE HARM...

Am I crazy for wanting to be comfortable for who I am?  Does he have a valid point?  There is no such thing as for better or worse?  Trust me even the worst is better....  I am 38 years old... A mother... I do not wish to look like a porn star.  I am a sophisticated lady, not a tramp... (I say this because this husband is disappointed that I did not take on this type of appearance - he wanted breast enhanchments - for me to dress like a pro when we are in public etc...)  O.K. this is how it goes, maybe during pillow talk I would say wow, I wouldn't mind "firming-up" my breast - this did not mean make me an appointment (mind you since it is not a coverable insurance expense - we cannot afford it)...Now I am being accused of not keeping promises because I stated that I wanted a "hot - phine as hell body"....

I am angry BUT not at him, more so at myself... I should have known that he stated around for the wrong reason...  I do not need him and for my mental stability, I will do the right thing to turn this situation around.  As I type this he is upstairs... because we have been together for close to seven years - I know him.  I would expect for him to move out or be gone completely by the time I return from the store and the other errands that I have to run..., We have been down this road before, and I have tried to make it work... this time I refuse to keep changing... You cannot change others that's why as I said.  I am HAPPY with who I am...
