I turned to DH and asked if he would always love me for who I am: even if I "get fat," etc. DH says it's my choice to get fat and that it's avoidable. What kind of lame answer is that? I've been feeling like he's not into me lately. Turned 40yo this year. Still get stares on the street and feel somewhat attractive but certainly am no longer young.
