Why don't women like their bodies?

I am a 40 yr old male that has been married for 12 years. My wife is beautiful but she is so self conscious about her body. Over the last four years she has put on about 30 pounds and our self life has suffered. I have never said a word to her and tell her all the time she is beautiful. She won't let me give her oral sex and really wants to get sex over as soon as possible. I try to massage her and have foreplay but she does not want it. Most of the time she will only take off her panties under the covers but not her shirt. I am not bragging but I used to model mens clothing and have always been in great shape. Her friends will make comments about my looks or how she is so lucky that her husband does not have a beer gut. She will usually laugh it off but I am the one that has to hear how mad it makes her. I don't flurt, have affairs, or want to be with anyone else. She knows this but I can't seem to make her understand that I love her no matter what. Any advice would be great.

Who knows?.. that definitely may be part of it. I have never gone through a miscarriage but my Mom did. Pretty much same scenario.. lost twin girls at 7mos pregnant, both stillborn. Her case obviously was different in that she had 2 previous children but she went through some serious emotional issues over it. You get so attached to your children even when pregnant and to lose them like that is devastating. I do hope that she can get past whatever is causing her to drawback from you & that you both can resume a normal sex life again...Just keep letting her know you are there & do love her... Good luck..
