Ok, ranting here as an alternative to kicking my husband in his junk. I've busted my a** to lose almost FIFTY pounds so far, and he hasn't said a word without me asking for it (which is bad enough) but today he says "wow, did you see Snooki? She lost a ton of weight."

WTF?!? First of all, how does he even KNOW who Snooki is?!? And secondly, why does SHE rate a comment when the broad he married doesn't?

I love him, but sometimes he is truly clueless.

I feel a hissy fit coming on. And I can't even kill it with chocolate!

Chill out people' date=' and return back to the OP's subject. If you really feel the need to continue to argue, then take it to pm.

Ha ha ha ha ha........,..,,,,,, thats so funny:-D

I don't know what to say about your husband not making a positive statement about your weight loss. Does he feel uncomfortable with the emerging you and feel threatened? I think some guys can be idiots and not the most sympathetic. Which as a guy, I don't understand.

Btw- good luck to you and congrats on your weight loss.

Okay, I have been thinking about this post all night. I dropped 39 pounds so far and my man won't "validate" me by congratulating or noticing and it makes me crazy. Last night he was watching WWE and some guy named the big show came on and he said "wow, he lost a lot of weight". I just pretended he was talking about me, and said thank you. Lol.

Thanks buplee. I don't know if he's threatened; I don't think so as it would be kind of out of character for him, but who knows? Anything is possible! He did make a comment yesterday which surprised me; we were out running errands and as we walked out of a store he said under his breath 'that's right, buddy, she's going home with me'. I said 'what?!?!' and he said some guy was looking at me and didn't look away even when he looked at the guy. I didn't notice any of this, so it was hard to tell if it really happened or if some poor schmoe was just minding his own business and just happened to glance at me. He's never been the jealous type, so that was out of character. I didn't really know what to make of this.

LOL! Maybe I should have tried this tactic.

That is awesome! I guess maybe in a way he really notices you and your changes, some reason men don't always feel the need validate to us, but seems like he is really proud of the "eye candy" you have become! Good for you! Great job on the weight loss!

M2G, I just DIED!! That is HILARIOUS!!

You're right, I should give him credit for that. Guess it caught me off guard, but it really was a good thing.

Seriously I think my man is afraid that if he says anything positive about the weight lost he will be saying something negative about my body prior to it. He clearly doesn't care about my appearance and that is ultimately supportive.

Well I think you look beautiful!

I wonder if wherever he saw pics of Snooki was specifically showing before/after pics or specifically talking about herweight loss. He sees you daily and the changes are harder to notice. Also, some guys are afraid to mentionanything weight related b/c if not worded just perfectly, they can end up eith a mouthful of their own foot! I would consider making your own before/after flyer to print for him and ask if he saw this hot brunette who lost over 50 lbs!
