I've almost lost all the baby weight and am in relatively good shape considering. Most of my old clothes fit, but the baby pouch is just awful to me. My husband tells me it doesn't bother him any and that I look good. Of course, we all know that he would never tell me I looked disgusting. Since men are so visual, I have a hard time believing that men are ok with their wive's post-baby bellies. So, my question is a simple one...are you? Reply to this Question

I do, however, appreciate the honest answer. My husband keeps telling me it doesn't matter and I don't believe him, I think he is just trying to be nice.

I'm quite frustrated.I had a horrible realization yesterday when my wife was walking around the house naked. I now prefer her body with clothes on. Is that bad? Her breasts and butt look great in bra/panties (no more thongs please.) We still enjoy great sex, I just prefer the lights a bit dimmer now. :(

Having babies is just one important life experience that can leave some marks. To quote the great Robert Heinlein: "Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman's breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy."

I'm very fortunate, as my wife never kept too much of the baby weight. Ya, there's a bit of a pouch; she doesn't look like she did when she was 18. But in the 20+ years since she's made incredible children, and she's still willing to put up with me.
