After giving birth, my husband made it clear my body had become a problem he expected me to fix. I lost the weight\u2014but by then, I\u2019d learned something about him he never saw coming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four months after my daughter was born, my life revolved around feedings instead of hours.<\/p>\n

I woke two or three times a night, sometimes more, and by morning I could barely remember whether I\u2019d brushed my teeth.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Coffee went cold on the counter. Breakfast was whatever I could manage with one hand while holding the baby with the other. Some days, even taking a shower felt like an achievement.<\/p>\n

Ryan slept through almost all of it.<\/p>\n

If I nudged him awake, he would mumble, \u201cYou\u2019re already up,\u201d as if that settled everything. On weekends, he occasionally took the baby so I could rest, but the second she cried, he appeared in the doorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wants you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re already up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been with me all day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, but you know how to calm her down.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I took her back.<\/p>\n

One evening, we were getting ready for Ryan\u2019s company dinner. After twenty minutes of trying to make myself presentable, I pulled an old black dress from the closet.<\/p>\n

It had always fit perfectly.<\/p>\n

That night, the zipper stopped halfway up my back.<\/p>\n

I sucked in my stomach and tried again.<\/p>\n

Nothing.<\/p>\n

Ryan stood behind me adjusting his cuff links. I caught his reflection in the mirror.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttraction matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know I love you,\u201d he said, \u201cbut attraction matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

I turned slowly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

He shrugged.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou became a mother, not an old woman. If you keep letting yourself go, eventually I\u2019ll have no choice but to leave. You should respect your husband enough to stay beautiful for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a moment, I thought I\u2019d misunderstood him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a baby four months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m up half the night. I barely have time to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n

He sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cClaire, plenty of women have babies and get themselves back in shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him.<\/p>\n

He was already irritated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not trying to hurt you. I\u2019m being honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
