I just had to answer and let you know I have gone through an experience like yours. Mine was years ago over children's clothes but just as terrible. Keep your head up and know you did no wrong. A marriage is a partnership of two equals where your needs should also be equal. Would he wear clothes way too big himself? I pray your husband will come to his senses soon for both your sakes. Mine did over the years and has actually been great about my clothes now. Keep your chin up and wear those new clothes proudly!! :thunmbsup: Sharon

Marianne I am sorry you are feeling down at a time when you should be feeling better. Maybe you caught your husband at a bad time, or maybe he thinks you should of spent only $100.00. I am sure this will blow over and when he sees you looking fine in your new clothes he will feel bad and apologize. Take care and this too shall pass. Janice

Just think! Not only have you lost weight, but your blood sugars are so much improved. That in itself is a real big deal! Congrats!

Keep up the good work, I know you must feel great with the progress you have made

Hi Everyone Hope you are all doing better than what I am feeling right now! As I type this I am sitting here crying because my husband has been arguing with me about--what else??? $$$$ I made the mistake of showing him a pair of melon capris and asking him if a navy blue shirt would go with them. He then proceeded to ask me how much I have spent on clothes? I told him around $400.00 whi*****ludes summer tops, pants, capris, bras. I have not gotten any new outdoor jackets and am still wearing 3X. I told him that this is pretty reasonable for women's clothes but he still had a s**t fit! He told me that he is going to take away my credit cards and stop his paycheck from direct deposit. I should add that we live a comfortable lifestyle within our means. I told him I did not charge these clothes but used the money from my inheritance from my Mother. He told me that I am a liar, I should have paid some bills with my inheritance which I did--He knew that as I lost weight I would need clothes. In fact, I told him I was going to order some new clothes. He had no problem with this at the time but now you would think I purchased a million dollar wardrobe. What does he expect me to do? Still wear my size 3X when I am now a Medium (12/14)? I am so upset. Here I thought he liked me looking nice with fitted clothes but now I am beginning to think otherwise. I didn't even buy a bathing suit but took the one my daughter purchased for herself that was too small and would not be my choice but because it could not be returned my bathing suit choice was decided for me. Right now I HATE HIM! I was feeling so good about myself but now my self esteem has plummetted to nothing, I am sorry for telling you all this but I knew you would all understand what I am feeling and may have even gone through this. Now what am I supposed to do when the fall comes and I have to buy winter clothes? Do I have to keep feeling guilty everytime I buy something that fits me? Marianne
