I gained 75 lbs in 5 years – my husband drunkenly told me I’m a ‘lil ugly,’ he laughed but that’s not the worst of it
A WIFE candidly recounted the hurtful moment her husband disrespected her.
He called her "ugly" and even laughed about it, pointing out her weight gain.
An anonymous Reddit post detailed the unsavory encounter in a post to the social media platform.
"We were drinking over the weekend while toddler was at grandma's. My husband was drunk talking but I can’t stop thinking about it," she said.
"My husband stared at me for a while and I was like 'what?' He said 'you a lil ugly' and he bursted out laughing. I said 'what?'
"He said, 'you know you don’t look like you did when I met you five years ago, at all.'"
WORDS HURT
The negativity didn't stop there, the husband continued poking fun at his wife's appearance.
"He went out and told me I gained too much weight and he jiggled my arms and said I have flappy arms," she said.
"I know I gained a lot of weight it’s just hard losing weight when you’re a stay-at-home mom and I have a battle with my refrigerator all day.
"He told me that he wished I lost my weight because it’s more than enough time now since I’m three years postpartum, but he says I’m always making excuses.

"He said he remembered telling me that he thinks I’m unattractive because I gained 75 pounds in the last five years
"Before my husband fell asleep he said he always thought I was one of those girls that stayed hot forever and never got fat.
"What he said there just stuck with me because he’s not the first person that said that to me.
"My friend back home also told me she never thought I would ever get fat. Now I just feel like a gross freak."
"Maybe go to couples counseling. If he gaslights you or downplays your feelings, I’d re-think the relationship."
