I’m on one of my heaviest period days, taking care of 2 kids, potty training one of them, homeschooling the other, doing all of the household chores, dealing with PCOS and thyroid problems and trying to diet/supplement to support it. Here comes my husband, playing with a pretend telescope saying “land ho” while looking at me, to show his attraction to me. When I say that I don’t like that and it doesn’t make me feel attractive, he says, “at least I tried”. I am just over it. I want to yell and scream that he has no idea what I’m going through. He doesn’t understand that I’m struggling with my self image because of all the health stuff and I’m tired because I do everything around the house. I’m sorry for not trying to make him feel sexy more. But I’m literally bleeding while keeping the house going. Please let me scream and cry and feel like a regular woman, not someone who has to be a slut for my husband to love me.
