Some clothes really do make a person look fatter. We've all heard the comments about what men need to say when asked, "does this make me look fat?" Well....................

My husband usually says no if I ask the question. The other day when I asked, he said, "your fat always shows!" <font color="red"> I saw red! </font> I didn't say a word.

<font color="black"> Later in the day at lunch with my brother, David helped me to see how mean that remark was. </font>

Yesterday, I showed my husband some work I'd been doing online. He said, "I can't believe you put that picture online". <font color="red"> Again, I saw red! </font> <font color="black"> Still I didn't say anything. </font>

Today while looking at some of my pictures online, I decided that some clothes really do make a person look heavier. Maybe I need to wear black all the time. grrrrrr.....................

I did finally let my husband know that I thought his remarks were really mean. He didn't say anything! What a guy.

Thanks (((((((((Bethy))))))))) Believe it or not, this is the better version of him, after he's been thru counseling! I have told him that I don't think his anti-depressant is helping him much.

Sometimes I feel really sad when he is like this.

I like your pics on your site more than the one you have here (blush blush) I didn't see your weight, btw.

PPl of size need to go right ahead and wear bright colors and patterns, just not the tiny ones. I see ppl for who they are inside... when any of us feel good in our clothes, it shows up in our faces and attitudes.

PS Quit asking a man how you look, or taking any comment seriously. Ask your girlfriends instead! Some clothes......................

I don't know how you can put up with him, but you do. No wonder you feel awful when he says things like that....it's abuse! At least IMO a lot of the stuff he says to you is.

Anyways, I see nothing wrong with the way you look at all. I saw the pic on your site and think you look very good! I agree with Sky, ignore the comments from men...they're awful. Women are the best!

I would say that only someone with true intent to hurt your feelings would say something like that. I'm sorry to hear it. Speaking for myself, I can almost always find something complimentary to say to any woman, so not every man is like that, ok? Anyway, I hope he comes to understand how his behaviour has affected you and changes it.
