Oh dear I want to cry reading this post. I feel you so much. ☹️ I’m in my 2nd trimester and have not gained more weight than I already am. I am plus sized by the way. But there was one time we were randomly talking about clothes and he said “Go and buy maternity clothes lah.” So I said it’s not easy cause my body size is not proportionate. He said “Just stop wearing those peplum/baby doll type of tops. Makes you look even more bigger.” Then I said, “You so bad, say your wife like that.” And he casually just said, “Don’t deny, isn’t it true? You think you’re slim?”
I took it straight to the heart man. Straight to the heart. It pierced me so much I wanted to cry but because I am so good at putting up a facade, I held back my tears and bit on my tongue.
Sometimes we don’t realise the words that come out of our mouths can hurt others. Especially now that the hormones are raging, we are extra sensitive to everything.
What I can say is probably we just have to take it like a big girl, brush it off and screw them under our breath. No I mean try not to take it to heart, cause they’re just plain and useless remarks. One day they will realise the sacrifices we made for them, just probably, probably these pea-brained idiots don’t realise it yet.
We got you, Mummy. You’re not alone with a salty Husband. 💪🏻
