I am twenty-nine years old. Perhaps I am the most naive woman in the world, because until recently I thought that everything was fine in my family. And I was wrong in my choice… My husband turned out to be a traitor and selfish. I still cannot believe that he did this to me.
We have known each other for ten years, six of which we have been married. His name is Robert, he is extremely attentive and caring, and he provided for me and my children. During our family life together, we had two children: a son and a daughter. With my help, my husband managed to open a business. This business brought him a good income.
I used to work as a sales assistant. And recently I opened my own online clothing store. So, while my daughter is in kindergarten and my son is sleeping, I am working and earning money.
My weight has always been around fifty-four kilograms. After the birth of my child, I gained twenty kilograms. At first, I hoped that caring for two children and living at home would help me lose weight. But not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. I set myself a goal to lose the pounds: I ate right, did exercises, drank a lot of water, and gave up flour. But my weight hasn’t changed, and it makes me very sad. I started to feel very complex about it.
After my second childbirth, I stopped liking myself. I didn’t feel feminine or attractive anymore. And Robert changed before my eyes. He stopped kissing me and hugging me. I’m not even talking about anything else. I have forgotten the last time we talked about anything. All of our conversations were limited to clarifying everyday issues.
I agree, I felt much more confident and attractive with my weight before I gave birth. Now I feel uncomfortable looking in the mirror myself. I realize that our relationship has deteriorated because of this. Then I decided to fix the situation. One day I wanted to surprise my husband. I decided to come to his workplace and bring him lunch. I came to the door and overheard the conversation:
“Darling, don’t worry, I’ll come to you after work. I warned my wife that I had work up to my neck. She doesn’t even know you exist!”
I did not go into the office, turned around and left.
As he doesn’t understand, I gained weight because I gave birth to our child together. He is not perfect himself, but he sees my flaws. He is also overweight, but I am not looking for a replacement.
So, does my husband take me for a fool? I could not tell Robert that I heard everything. What should I do? File for divorce… And the children? How are they without their father? Pretend that nothing happened? I don’t think I can take it that long.
For now, I decided to continue to take care of myself. I signed up for a gym. First I’ll show my husband who he lost, and then we’ll see.
