My husband (43M) and I (35F) have been together for 14 years, married for 8. We have two kids (5 & 2).
Motherhood has given me some stretch marks and a little pouch, but I’ve toned up and slimmed down to nearly pre-kid body. My self-confidence has come back, and I feel incredible. I built it back up myself, and my husband always encouraged it.
A few days ago, he walked in while I was changing for the gym and caught me admiring my own reflection in my g-string. He immediately went “Oh” with this little shy smile and had to readjust himself. He got hard the moment he saw me, and that gave me even more of a confidence boost.
It’s times like these where I love him so much that it outweighs our low moments. He is the protector/provider type, and I’ve always wanted to be his peace when he comes home. We’re still coming out of a rough patch that accumulated because life became routine, and I felt invisible for years. But he is so good to me and so determined about us working things out.
Obviously, after lunch, gym and showers, we did the deed. Both kids were napping so we locked the door and went at it hard. 😏
