Do guys think stretch marks from pregnancy are gross?
I'm pregnant & now I have stretch marks... I don't want my husband to look at my stomach or see me without a shirt, I'm not overweight but I have stretch marks that look disgusting & he might think so. I think I don't know if these will ever go away completely. I still have them and I use oil and lotion. And I am so insecure about it. I know guys think it's gross do they?

While you may find your stretch marks disgusting, I saw my wife's as a badge of honor. Those stretch marks brought my children into this world and I would not trade them for anything. They did fade after childbirth though a few remained. There I s nothing gross about them and until we got much older she continued to wear two piece bathing suits. Maybe just a bit more modest ones than before our children arrived.
We all change as we age. I no longer have the body I had when we married. Since I am not a beer drinker I have what I call a husband gut as my wife is a wonderful cook. Sure I could and should work to trim it down. But my wife uses my belly as a pillow and I like that so I'm not inclined to trim it down all that much.
As they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I'm sure your husband will love you even more when you bring his child and children into this world. He like me will probably not notice the stretch marks. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
