My husband called me fat
by anonymous
My weight has always been an issue. When we got married I was 136 pounds. 17 years and 2 kids later, I am 187 pounds. I have struggled with my weight since having my last child in 2012 and then in 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am all clear with cancer but need to take medicine that is slowing reducing the estrogen in my body. I admit that I am overweight, but even when I weighed 150 pounds he complained about my weight.
Last night he asked me if I was ok with being fat? I told him that was rude but he just laughed. I said it was not a laughable moment but he said it was.
I am been struggling with this for so long, I don't know what to do anymore. I hate conflict so I never fight back. I am just so broken.

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
