[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 290402, member: 6705"] I agree that I don't think husband was paying attention. I'm lucky, because my husband has been conditioned by his mother to NOTICE. And ignore if it's not what he wants to see! Now here is my personal opinion. I could really care (could, but I don't) what someone's outsides look like. You could be a puke-green blob of plasma, and as long as you are beautiful inside (which [B]you are [/B]in my opinion), I wouldn't notice. But I can see how that would hurt. And how you would worry about it. But... I am going to see a friend tomorrow that I haven't seen in a while. Last time was at his wedding reception! Used to be a coworker, long ago, and we had crushes on one another till we both figured out we were better off as friends. But now I have crows' feet around my eyes. I actually weigh less than I did then, and have better clothes, and have let my daughter talk me into more flattering makeup, but I keep thinking about how I [B]used[/B] to look. And honestly? I don't [I]want[/I] him to even notice beyond, hey, my friend's here! - But it's there. (Not to mention, he & husband are now friends... I adore his wife... And kids... My kids adore them... WHY SHOULD I CARE?) So - don't worry. Are you happy being you? Are you comfortable in your own skin (normally)? Are you a good person? (I can answer this one for you - YES - you ARE!) So don't sweat it. They were probably worried about their extra pounds, hair, wrinkles, and then there was that one person thinking about her chipped nail polish... [/QUOTE]
