Dolling yourself up for husband

[Anonymous]

Does your husband expect this?

[Anonymous]

Expect? Never. Love it? Yes. And I like it too.

Husband doesn’t say he likes it. He wouldn’t want to wait for me to get dolled up. I think he likes other women who doll up. For women over 50 it doesn’t matter. You always just look old.

I don’t know about “dolling” in the extreme sense, but I think making some effort to look nice and presentable is always appreciated.

DH here: My wife and I are both in our 50’s. I love it when she gets dolled up and think she looks amazing. I don’t expect it but give her tons of compliments when she does.

My husband loves it. I try to always look nice.

I do this every day. I simply expect it of myself; it's how I was raised. Happily married over 20 years.

You’re gonna be there someday, if you’re lucky. Regardless, what a stupid comment. Women can be the worst misogynists of them all.

Wife couldn't care less about what I think about it she does it for herself/other women.

Oh lord. You have a lot to learn.

What’s the definition of dolling up? My mother has always been a SAHM. I remember her always starting to get herself ready around 5 pm everyday. She’d shower again, put on something pretty and some light makeup. My dad always came home at 6, and then they’d giggle like kids in the kitchen while she put the final touches on dinner. We knew to wait elsewhere until we were called to eat. I try to always look presentable.

Being a SAHM used to be so different. 4-7pm is just about my busiest time of day with homework, getting dinner at the exact right time everyone can eat together, and driving kids around to various activities. I can’t imagine taking that time to shower and hang out with my husband.

Well, I try to bribe her with compliments to donit more often.

My MIL does this. She still looks just as bad, the layer of makeup is thicker. Nobody cares, everyone finds it annoying because it makes her late and she monopolizes bathrooms.
