My husband has been vegan for 16 years. He’s 32, and the last few years he has added seafood back to his diet so I guess he’s some kind of pescatarian. I’ve adapted to eating no chicken or beef without a problem but still enjoy cheese and eggs, which he doesn’t mind at all.
Here’s my issue- and it’s a sensitive one and I’m sorry but I am having a hard time escaping these feelings: my husband is way too thin. Before we were married, I told myself it was wrong to let that sort of thing bother me. He is a wonderful man and beauty is more than skin deep. He has a very handsome face and great hair, but seriously he Is so thin. His ribs stick way out when he lays down. His chest and back muscles are nonexistent. I feel like I can almost wrap one of my hands around his upper arm. His legs look like toothpicks and his briefs- which should be tight- sag on his little non existent bottom. And I am just struggling hardcore to find myself attracted to him. Which is a big problem.
we didn’t have sex before we were married and I just didn’t allow myself to think that this was going to become such an issue. But it has. I’ve talked with him about working out together and he’s not interested. He’s a painter who works hard all day and wants to rest when he gets home. He’s 6’2 and weighs 140 lbs. He does have muscle when he flexes it’s just very lean.
Please help me. Am I wrong to feel this way? How can I overcome it? Should I tell him how I feel? I can only imagine it would hurt his feelings so terribly
