I am not insecure. Am I?
Me: Will you do me a favor?
Hubby: Sure, what?
Me: Well, the bathing suit I just bought?
Hubby: Yes..
Me: Well, I'm kind of insecure about it. So, I am going to put it on. And you have to say that you think it looks absolutely hot.
Hubby: OK!
Me (in bathing suit): Tadaaaa (turn turn)
Hubby: You look stunning.
Me: You're just saying that because I asked you, aren't you?
Hubby: No, you are gorgeous. The bathing suit looks great.
Me: Really? I mean, if you don't like it, please be honest.
Hubby: I like it.
Me: You're really not just saying that? I mean, forget about what I asked. What is your true opinion?
Hubby: I like it. It looks great.
Me: OK. Thanks.
Hubby: Now stop it.
One day I'll drive him to insanity. The small confined cushioned rooms and group therapy kind.
And when I checked the correct spelling of insanity, I found an interesting definition:
Noun
* S: (n) insanity (relatively permanent disorder of the mind)
From: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=insanity
Relatively permanent. Is that like being a little pregnant? At least if permanent has the same meaning as permanent in my language. Interesting.

Well over here we have the concept of temporary insanity.

Me: Honey, can you point to a woman who's butt resembles mine?
Hubby: That one in the black pants with the luscious butt and hips! *drool*
Me: What??!! I'm that big? OMG!! *hyperventilating*

Oh, I know nothing at all about insanity. Or insecurity, for that matter. Nothing at all.

Really, you look great in that bathing suit. I was with you when you tried it on and bought it. I would have said something BEFORE you used our credit card :)

I'm sure you looked fantastic in your bathing suit, Nadine. But, I know how you feel - after having 2 kids, I would rather eat my arm than wear a string bikini. Speaking of eating, if I bake you a cake for your birthday with homemade buttercream frosting, you may have to reconsider that bathing suit...

Giggle. That could have happened at our house, too.
I got your emails, Nadine! I am going to reply, but am on my way to a 10 day holiday with the boys. Will get back to you upon my return :)
Take care, Heidi

If you look anything like my wife (two comments up) after two kids, you should wear that swimsuit proudly.
(And I, like Freezem, am not just saying that.)

You're so funny! You know FreezeM would never say a negative word about you. (But I'm sure you still looked great in the swimsuit!) :)

You know, sometimes a small cushioned room sounds pretty nice.

Happens to all of us - why can't we just accept the first compliment?*?!
Wear it with pride and enjoy yourself in it ...

God that sounds just like me... only this year I didn't even bother, what with being five months pregnant and all. I just bought whichever suit I could shove my arse into and called it a day. I figure if people don't like it, they can look the other way. I mean, I'm growing a human here! I can't be expected to look good at the same time. It's not like I'm a celebrity or anything!
