Stretch Mark Removal Can Save a Marriage
It was still early but Tessa was already awake and tending to the baby Mary. Getting up before the baby started crying avoided both her and Alan getting woken and losing sleep But a consequence of that was they hardly touched each other for several months.
At that moment Alan came up behind her and squeezed her gently which caused her to tense up within his hands. `Whoops, did not mean to cause you to jump love but this is the best way I have to feel your lovely body these days'. Tessa tried to disguise how uncomfortable she felt but it was obvious. 'Its the baby, Alan. I'm sleeping at the same time as her other wise I'll get no rest'. That did not sound true in Alan's mind but he made no comment.
Alone in the kitchen he thoughtfully sipped tea. He wasn't at work this weekend so he could take his time. His wife had not got down to sit with him, this became a pattern in recent weeks. At first he had thought his wife was in the grip of the type of depression that some women get after giving birth because their hormones had not settled down. He had checked this out with Tess's close friends but they had only thought a rift in between her and Alan.
And there were beginning to be cracks in their otherwise happy marriage because they weren't connecting in any sort of way at the moment. He wasn't expecting Tessa wanting normal lovemaking necessarily but even cuddles were out of the picture it appeared. His attempts to get at the real problem only ended up in tetchy words and denial which didn't help.
He decided that if he couldn't get an explanation this evening he would seek professional help. When Mary went to sleep Alan sat beside Tess by the bed. As always she was reluctant to discuss it but Alan promised her he could not live in a relationship where he was not wanted. This got his wife's attention. 'I don't need you'? She wailed 'I hate myself ! I thought you wouldn't want me if you saw how I look like now when I'm undressed.’ He was taken aback by this. 'Darling I want you so much'.’
Further conversation helped alan to realise how depressed she was about the deep stretch marks, caused by the pregnancy, that coated her belly and thighs. Together they decided to seek support and soon found a physician and a treatment which did not need surgery. Also their relationship grew stronger for talking through the problem and finding the answer together.
