I'm ashamed of my husband.

[quote=Anonymous]I feel a little terrible for thinking this way, but it's the truth.
It's just when I see my colleagues with their spouses, my husband seems so basic and unsophisticated. He's embarrassing.
He's a terrible dresser with a bad haircut. I've given up on the hair, but I try to help him put, but even that doesn't help. Tonight I picked out a nice outfit for him to wear to dinner with our friends. What does he do? He some how gets it dirty , and comes back down dressed in a blue shirt and maroon pants. Of course we're running late so there's no time for him to change.
At dinner he orders way too much food, and gets a doggy bag. He doesn't need the extra food he's already too think around the middle. I seriously don't know how he has middle age pudge as he works out and is only 32.
If that wasn't enough I was cringing as he participated in the conversation. He didn't say anything wrong in particular, he was just a little to eager to participate and was stumbling and stuttering over his words, and repeated himself.
I try to focus on his good qualities. He has a steady job and career that he loves, and makes a decent income, but even that is a downside as he could be further than where he is if he were just a little more ambitious.
No, I'm not contemplating an affair, and I want a divorce.
I do wonder what it would be like to have a husband that was more impressive.[/quote]


You know what I feel like you care way too much about people’s opinion . Who cares how he dresses . Who cares how he talks or caries on conversation . Common you married him there must have been someone you carried more about than that at that time . obviously his outfits and his manners didn’t matter you saw something in him that made you to fall in love and marry him . Seriously at some point we were going to this fancy places and meeting cool people but not once was I embarrassed by what my spouse was wearing or what I was wearing. We can easily spent 1 k on our dinner but you would never think we can do that by the way we dress because we don’t care about clothes or fashion .
