Husband kept making jokes about how he “likes them petite” and I may regret my decision to bite back
Excuse the pun.
Ive always been a small person – I’m short and usually around 43kg, even after having our child I was able to maintain that..
Now. My husband and I have been together 8 years and, as mentioned, have one adorable 3 yr old together. My pregnancy wasn’t exactly a good time but I was all belly and came out no stretch marks much to his happiness and my absolute indifference.
Since the weight gain he’s started making comments, the first two were jokes like I said something about the size of his chips (small) and he said “well you know I like them petite” the next we were buying clothes and he was like “you’re a size 6 yeh? Or?”
So being my usual cbf self I didn’t say anything until today… When he suggested I do some starjumps to “keep warm”. I pressed him saying “are you suggesting I need to exercise?” And he laughed saying “it wouldn’t hurt”.
Now, I snapped kind of in a light hearted way said “listen, I get it you like me petite but I like Zac Efron in Baywatch, are you gonna sort yourself out to be like him?” He has always been underweight/skinny which is not my usual type but I never complained.
Now he’s doing push-ups and it looks like I’m going to have to start getting ontop of my star jumps 🫠I am fuming. How does 4- 5kg even make a difference ?? I guess on my small frame it does but I’m still upset about this. I went through a massive illness with anxiety and was hospitalized for malnutrition so if anything he should be happy I’m being healthier. I’m so confused and upset and stressed about this whole situation. Maybe until he actually looks like the beefcake in that movie Ill start acting on it. Hating life right now, I honestly feel like I’m scared to eat in front of him
