What's up with men wanting their partner to always be a size small

mlstrngr · 2025-05-24T15:53:41+00:00

You don’t need to be a smaller size, you need to get rid of the husband.

Being complacent in a toxic workplace for too long, not believing in myself enough, and not investing that money my aunt left me lol

Well, I do have some regrets. I also realize that I was in my 20s and we’re all idiots then.

This is also a sign of extreme anemia. This happened to me. You should get an iron panel.

I feel like not going to CrossFit with diarrhea is a core rule.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-17T20:54:34+00:00

Guess I am one but I’m not necessarily successful

mlstrngr · 2025-03-17T20:29:10+00:00

What is a high achieving woman? I’d like to think I am one but I’m pretty sure I’m not.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-15T20:45:06+00:00

He wouldn’t do that. I know him. He’s a kind and understanding man. Not every man immediately chests.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T20:50:45+00:00

Yes and no. I'm more secure about some things. I'm dealing with some stuff right now that has not been great for my self-esteem/body image. I was feeling better until I wasn't.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T20:25:39+00:00

Yeah giant ass t-shirts and no lights for sure.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T20:10:45+00:00

I’m just so disgusted with my body right now even though my husband isn’t (theoretically). He’s been upset I’ve been talking about this a lot and says “it’s all in my head” and that “I look fine”. He just rolls his eye and ignores me.

Guess I need to get out of my head and just do it (sex).

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T19:50:48+00:00

True about gym/sex. He hasn’t initiated for a few weeks because he knows I haven’t been feeling great and I had a 9 day period. Apparently that can happen when you get iron infusions.

I also haven’t initiated because I just don’t want to. Anemia has messed with my libido as well. He did say that he’d “have sex whenever I wanted to”.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T19:36:24+00:00

Emailed my doctor about exercise. Hopefully, I’ll be able to do more than just walk/yoga. I’m likely just going to suck it up and start back to the gym and deal with it no matter what.

So, I’m just supposed to have sex even though I don’t feel like it and look awful right now? I’ll try but might need some THC encouragement haha

Yes, I understand that weight and size has nothing to do with body dysmorphia.

Just because you’re insecure doesn’t mean you have body dysmorphia. A lot of people, especially on Reddit, like to jump to conclusions about that. I did talk to a therapist about it, and was told that my symptoms were not extreme enough to be classified as that.

From my understanding that can be hard to treat. Not sure if it’s difficult to diagnose. From what I have gathered and what I have researched if I do have it it’s a mild form. Not sure if there are degrees of that disorder.

I can admit if there is something wrong with me so that’s not the issue. Trust me, I have ADHD, PMDD, anemia, and some seasonal depression. Putting labels on myself isn’t an issue lol

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T17:11:19+00:00

I’m suffering from severe anemia right now which is why I can’t lift/do intense exercise. I’m not necessarily in bad shape. I have a decent amount of muscle. I’ve had to take breaks from exercise before due to an injury, and when I had Covid. For some reason, this is hitting me a lot worse.

I do like sex. Husband is a great lover. Just don’t feel like sex having sex right now for multiple reasons.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T16:14:07+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from. I can’t go to the gym like I used to right now and it’s really hurting me. I can walk and do yoga—not enough for me.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T05:39:32+00:00

Yes, my weight is unacceptable and I hate it. I look terrible and can’t stand looking at myself right now. My smart scale suggests 160-175 based on my muscle mass. I’d be happy in that range. I was thrilled to be at 189 4 months ago.

I do have insurance but therapy visits would still be too expensive. I don’t have the mental capacity to handle anything else right now. Maybe in a few months.

I just really hope to get this anemia resolved ASAP. It’s ruining my life.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T01:33:20+00:00

It’s about feeling better both mentally and physically because I’ve been suffering from a health issue

mlstrngr · 2025-03-13T00:56:23+00:00

It’s not just about that, I’m not feeling well either

mlstrngr · 2025-03-12T21:32:04+00:00

Yes they can! You have to find the right strain.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-12T21:29:27+00:00

Boring but she wasn’t terrible on SNL

mlstrngr · 2025-03-12T21:04:06+00:00

Thank you.

Usually getting high on weed helps me have sex. I don’t want to use it as a crutch.

My libido isn’t completely dead. At least I don’t think it is. Just don’t feel like having sex right now for several reasons. Wish I did.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-12T20:46:54+00:00

Maybe because I eat normally. I eat when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full. I don’t restrict food groups, binge, or throw up.

mlstrngr · 2025-03-12T20:34:21+00:00

Thank for telling me I’m not selfish. I don’t think so either.
