[quote=Anonymous]My DH would never say that he expects me to maintain any specific aspect of my appearance. Like he would not say he cares about my hair or wearing makeup or that I need to maintain a certain weight or anything like that.

But I believe that my not dropping the rope, dressing up for a dinner out, exercising, behavior that makes it clear that I care about being attractive to him and being healthy for our life together is something that strengthens our marriage overall. And I am not some extreme 'maintain a size 2 and full makeup every day' person or anything. I'm sitting at my desk next to his desk right now unshowered, hair unbrushed in a sweatshirt so its not like a 100% on all the time thing.

But checking out on life is unattractive and damaging to a relationship not because you aren't hot enough, but because it shows a lack of interest and connection. Not just to your spouse but to the world at large. And it is hard to be in a relationship with someone who is checked out and uninterested. [/quote]
