Is it that she was noticing you get all this sexual attention from other women and was feeling less and less valuable to you herself? Not good enough? No attractive enough? Not sexy enough, not valuable enough for you? That's something that would be helpful for me to understand better.
She's had esteem issues over the years. This is the first time she's used the word trash, though.
Since E2, she's been going to the gym 2-3 times per week. She looks the best she's looked since I met her, but recently she's called herself fat - which she isn't. For example, she'll be in the room with me and our son and say to him, "Mommy needs to go to the gym because Mommy's fat."
I've been watching her watch me. In the past she has not payed any attention. Now her line of sight follows mine. She sees the women I check out. Yet, she says nothing about it when she does.
I come from money, she doesn't. She lived in a log home growing up, and vacations were camping and fishing. I was pretty spoiled - tropical islands, Europe, anywhere and everywhere. I would have loved to go camping and fishing, but my parents preferred otherwise. I think there's still an issue there.
There's a song, "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," and I think about my wife every time I hear it.
