But you know what can hurt?
Hearing from our partners that we looked better before.
OP opened up that this whole conversation broke her trust and caused insecurities.
Your husband sees you as property and not a person.
Yes, Id end the relationship.
If not, youll always feel insecure, another noted.
Lee Baucom, Ph.D, the creator of the internet marriage program Save The Marriage, shared withBored Panda.
This is a case where that did not happen, pointing to deeper issues about the relationship itself.
When a part of ourselves is critiqued even criticized it usually leads to some sense of insecurity and doubt.
And in this case, it is about an image the partner is wanting, not about the OP.
Some may say, It is so superficial that the person should just do it.
But if it is truly superficial, the partner would not be as critical.
First, there is a need to assess: is the preference really significant?
In this case, the partner is pushing for something that is not a growth point for the OP.
In many ways, it feels to me that the partner is really caught up in a fantasy.
Rather than anything that would actually strengthen the bond, that comes out as more egotistical and selfish.
But what the partner pointed to does not fall within any of those.
Heart Your Bodyshared that maintaining a good relationship shouldnt necessitate modifying your appearance for your partner.
Now, do looks actually matter in a relationship and how important are they?
Although appearances matter in relationships,PsychCentralargues that intimacy is not solely based on them.
The majority of people in romantic relationships do require some degree of physical attractiveness.
However, looks dont always relate to a persons physical attributes for many.
People also find physical characteristics like posture, hygiene, and personal style to be attractive.
