Why do men marry and have children with a woman only to later complain that her body has changed? I'm not talking about weight but rather the changes that come with pregnancy that are pretty much out of our control, like stretch marks and breast sag...

Surely they should not have commit and have babies with a woman if they have issues with these facts.

you need to explain to this man that you have given him something VERY special and everything you have gone through he cant expect you to not have any signs from having a baby. my partner has had 2 children and yes she has stretch marks and has moved up a clothes size etc.. but she is still as beautifull to me now as she was when i first met her! he should feel the same about you.

Even if a woman doesn't have a baby, down the line you'd get older and maybe gain weight or get saggy this or that, or just be ill. Oh and we all get wrinkles. Maybe he doesn't know that?

Maybe he would like a trade in every few years, but then he will NEVER experience lasting true love. He needs to cop on and thank God for genuine blessings, a wife who loves him, a baby, unconditional love. Things he can depend on and gain great satisfaction from when the disco music stops and the bikinis are put away. Hey, he may even mature into a decent man with some depth. I'm not promising.

You mean some men right?

I am guessing it is because they don't appreciate the often natural changes that happens to a women's body. A view caused by being overly brainwashed by promident media characters, e.g. the media do seem to give a lot of publicity to celebrity women who have had children and miraculously get back to a size 10 and show little, if any, signs of having actually given birth before.

Hopefully a good chat about this should make them see sense. Or alternatively you could wait until their ensuring love handles and expanding midriff develop, find some pictures of perfectly shaped and healthy older celebrity men and ask, "why can't you look more like him?" Yeah... maybe that'll do it :)
