He Admitted He’s Not In Love With His Wife Anymore Since She Destroyed His Self-Confidence By Saying She Didn’t Find Him Attractive
Believe it or not, the things you say about your partner’s appearance can have a lasting effect. You should strive to be with someone who won’t riddle you with negative comments about the way you look.
One man recently told his wife he doesn’t love her anymore after she had been making him feel bad about the way he looked for years.
He’s 37 and has been married to his 36-year-old wife for 12 years. They have two kids together and have been through their fair share of ups and downs.
When his wife gave birth to their children, her appearance changed drastically, and she gained a lot of weight. He realized it was a part of life and becoming a parent, so he never judged her for it and always saw her as beautiful.
Unfortunately, when he started putting on weight due to mental health issues a few years ago, he didn’t get the same kind of support.
“I was admittedly going through some mental health issues, and I lost myself physically,” he said.
“The work pressure was getting to me, and overall, I just wasn’t feeling great. I gained some weight, wasn’t going to the gym, [and] I was eating a lot.”
He began feeling pretty bad about himself as his wife started rejecting him romantically, and their relationship turned very cold. As he tried getting an answer out of her about why she was always rejecting him, he started figuring out that it was probably because she didn’t like how he looked anymore.
Finally, after pleading with her, his wife was honest and admitted she didn’t find him attractive anymore. She said she still loved him but wasn’t feeling much attraction.

“That was the single most damaging statement anyone had ever said to me,” he explained.
“My wife instantly said she didn’t mean it and apologized for saying that. I told her it was okay. I started going to online therapy, which helped me massively. I started getting my diet in control and also started going to the gym.”
A few years have passed, and while he’s doing better mentally and physically, he still can’t shake what his wife said and how bad she made him feel.
His wife began acting normally again once he lost weight and tried to put a spark back into their romantic life, but he started rejecting her, not because of her looks but because of how she made him feel.
He began talking to a female coworker around his age who told him she went through something similar when her husband began rejecting her after she had a baby.
His coworker told him that a loving relationship shouldn’t include putting each other down because of appearance, and her advice opened his eyes.
“My coworker made me realize that my wife was not someone I want to be with when I’m older, have grey hair, wrinkles, etc.,” he admitted.
“Last night, [I told] my wife I wanted to talk to her about something I was feeling. I just bluntly told her I was no longer in love with her.”
His wife ran out of the room crying, which made him feel guilty, but he had to be honest and admit he didn’t love her anymore.
Should he feel guilty, or will getting out of that relationship be good for him?
