If only my wife would understand this.

There is never, ever, a time when seeing her naked wouldn't make my day better.

I'm a wife whose husband feels this way and let me just say, for a lot of heterosexual women (especially millennials; the 90's were rough for girls) it is very VERY hard to internalize this message, no matter how often we hear it.

But I'm trying! And it makes me so happy that he loves my body, so I don't get tired of hearing it, even if it's a little uncomfortable having to confront my low self esteem.

I see it in my wife too. The answer might be obvious, but why were the 90's so rough on girls?

If you could make it out of the 90s and early 2000s without an eating disorder as a girl god bless you. I was an early 2000s girl and it was an era of if you can’t see bones you are too fat. You spent most of your formative years learning how little you could eat and still make it through your day.

It has taken a lot for me to actually believe my boyfriend finds me attractive naked I always assumed he just said it to be nice.
