I was feeling a little better, but now I upset again. My husband and I are fighting because the kids tore up the living room and I don't feel like cleaning it up. I think it's his fault because when I told him he needed to be downstairs with them he rather be up my ass trying to get some. I love him, but with my depression I feel like once a week is enough. He wants it all the time though. I usually get tired of him complaining and just do it to shut him up. Sometimes I feel like I owe him that much after all I put him through. But anyway, back to the fight. He ws pissed and told me I need to get off my fat ass and help him. That hurts me because I have a bad self image and low self esteem. I hate how I look, but I thought he liked it. I know logicly he doesn't mean it but I take it to heart. He knows I'm fat, I know I'm fat, why does he have to throw it in my face?

you of all people should know that people can say things out of frustration that they dont really mean not that it isnt true but the choose to accept you and love you despite of your flaws. Don\'t beat yourself up over it. but i have some advice that was given to me a long time ago that was really great. wself esteem comes from helping others.
it is so true and you would be amazed how much it really makes a difference to look at yourself as a giving person and your self doubts about your esteem just go away :)
I hear you on the sex issue. Ever since my hysterectomy I have NO desire at all. My poor husband! You can tell your hubby that once a week is a lot seeing as my hubby is lucky every couple of months and even then its \"JUst hurry up!\" I do miss the closeness but really have no desire.
I\'m sure he did not mean to hurt your feelings but sometimes men just say the wrong things.Please don\'t let thay bother you.Also he has to understand when you are not in the mood that no means no and you do not owe him anything.I used to feel like that and sometimes I still feel like that but I should\'nt.Well good luck to you.Take care.

I feel the same way. I feel like I could really live w/out sex. And my fiancee feels like he needs it all the time. It makes me feel bad, and I don\'t have any self confidence & when he looks at other girls who do look good it makes me feel even worse! I take everything to heart and that makes things so much worse!
