Marriage issues over weight..

Me and my husband have been together for 4 years now. When we got together I weighed 195. I know this is over weight but it did not look bad on me. My husband has never liked really skinny girls, he likes curves. When I had my son in 2010 I gained about 17 pounds, which is not bad. After I had him I went on the Depo shot. I was on it up untill a year ago. I did not like it at all. It had me an emotional mess and I gained alot of weight with it. I felt I didnt have many birth control options since I was breast feeding. I got up to 274lbs, I know even saying that number sounds bad. When I got off the shot I started weigh****chers and began to loose. I got down to 238lbs. My husband wanted us to start trying to have another baby. So I stopped with the diet and we got pregnant. During all this we got moved to a new base. I have been here for 8 months now and havent met any friends. I am in the house all day taking care of the kids and dont know how to meet people here. I also had to give up a great job that I had had for 6 yrs; where i brought home alot more money then my husband. So we have also had a financial struggle since the move. Which feels like its all on me, I have to figure out how to afford everything. So I am now 6 months pregnant and have not gained alot of weight I am now 243lbs. I have not been able to afford to buy any maternity clothes so I am just trying to make my clothes work, which probably doesnt look to great.....But to get to my main reason for blogging today. I have notice lately that my husband has been on the internet alot lately watching porn. It was starting to bother me. Especially since we have only been intimate 3 times since I got pregnant. So I asked him about it, Why he was so into the porn now and not me. He told me he is not attrected to me anymore, that I gained too much weight. It felt so bad to hear those words come out my husbands mouth. I feel like I have givin up everything for him and now he says this... I am so hurt and do not know where to go from here its not like I can do anything about my weight right now. I told him we should go to counseling and he says no. So I told him that I was going to go then, I need some type of support, and he said no. That I was just going to get him in trouble. I just dont know what to do. I did not mean to gain the weight and I was trying to loose it. I cant do anything about it till after the baby comes. How am I supposed to deal with knowing my husband is disgusted by me while my stomach keeps growing with the baby.. im sorry if this is long. i just feel lost right now and I am all alone here except for my children.

Hi, sorry to hear about your difficulties.

This board isn't very active; if you're looking for imput, I suggest you try the main forum, pregnancy after weight loss or sex before and after weight loss. 

Take care of yourself and best wishes, Janis

I know how bad it feels to have someone you love say those things to you.  If I was your shoes (again) I would seek counseling and if he doesn't want to go or for you to go, I would leave.  I am not saying divorce him (I think that should be a last resort).  He is beating you down mentally with his words (saying he is not attracted to you anymore) and his actions (watching porn).  YOU DESERVE BETTER!!!   IF he is that shallow that your weight is the only problem he is an A$$hole!!  The longer you stay in that situation, the worse your self esteem is going to be.  (This is only my personal opinion, take it or leave it) but you do deserve better!!!  You are the same on the inside regardless what you look like on the outside!
