[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 43. I don’t feel this way at all based on midlife but I did feel that way at certain times and phases of life.

- does your partner care about or react to you dressing up? Not having a husband who ever took me out on dates or complimented me made me not try very hard.
- having little kids made me not care very much either. They’re older now and I have more time for myself. I was also a SAHM for years.
- being overweight also made not trying on clothes very fun. I lost weight and now I love showing it off.

I am divorced, have an enthusiastic partner, and feel more sexy and beautiful than ever. I think the difference is confidence. [/quote]

This doesn’t sound like confidence TBH. It sounds like you’re pretty insecure and need external validation / like random people looking at you. Which is normal for your teens and 20s or if otherwise “single and looking” but if you’re settled and married and happy and still saying “I love showing it off” that’s not really healthy IMO.
