I never imagined I would find myself in this situation, but after an incredible night of passionate intimacy with my partner, I can’t shake the feeling of dissatisfaction. Lately, Jake has been more affectionate than ever—playfully grabbing me in the hallway, and even getting a little frisky during our morning routine. Just tonight, he swept me off my feet, pulling me into our bedroom and pinning me against the wall. I was taken by surprise, and before I knew it, my clothes were gone, and we were lost in each other’s embrace.
Afterward, as we lay tangled up in the sheets, we couldn’t help but laugh at the sounds we’d made together. He playfully whispered in my ear, “Sorry babe, I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I’ve just been feeling so drawn to you lately. Must be spring fever.” But instead of feeling flattered, I felt a wave of discontent wash over me.
The truth behind his sudden desire isn’t spring fever; it’s the noticeable changes in my body. Over the past few weeks, I’ve shed a significant amount of weight—8 inches from my hips and waist—thanks to a rigorous exercise routine and a strict diet plan I’ve been following. Despite our ten years together and the many experiences that have strengthened our bond, I can’t ignore the fact that my appearance seems to dictate the quality of our sex life.
Now, we’re enjoying the best intimacy we’ve ever had, and yet I feel conflicted. I can’t help but wonder if his affection is genuinely rooted in my newfound confidence or merely tied to my slimmer figure. It’s hard not to question whether he’s being superficial, despite his verbal reassurances of love regardless of my size. As I lose weight and tone up, it feels like the passion in our bedroom has reignited, and our stash of condoms is dwindling faster than ever.
Perhaps the real issue lies with me. I advocate for body positivity and self-love in public, yet in the privacy of my own mind, I find myself battling insecurities about my body. How can I expect him to love me if I’m struggling to love myself? My shape has changed significantly over the years due to childbirth and weight fluctuations, while he has remained relatively unchanged. Maybe he’s simply enjoying the new versions of me that come with each shift in dress size.
Now, with my fitter self, I’m experiencing intimacy almost daily, complete with multiple orgasms—but I can’t escape the guilt that accompanies it. Is it wrong for me to feel this way? Each moment of pleasure is a reminder of my inner turmoil.
