His Wife Is Planning On Getting Cosmetic Surgery, But He’s Refusing To Help Her Recover Since He Doesn’t Support Her Decision
A man has a 35-year-old wife who has ended up having a lot of self-doubts due to the way she grew up.
While his wife was little, her family had a really hard time financially, but her dad worked incredibly hard to give them all a better life.
Her dad’s hard work paid off, and as his wife hit her elementary school years, her family was then more middle class.
When his wife began high school, her dad was easily bringing in 7 figures a year with the company he had, and so his wife went to a brand new school where she couldn’t help but look around and compare herself to all these girls who had come from money all along.
His wife’s insecurities didn’t stop as she left high school though; they intensified 7 years ago when her dad left her mom for someone new, and someone only 2 years older than she is.
His wife has been left feeling that her dad’s new wife is super gorgeous and she’s not, which makes her feel uncomfortable being around her.
“My wife has always been jealous of this specific woman due to her having a lot of qualities my wife wishes she could have,” he explained. “I have done my best to support her.”
Not too long ago, his sister-in-law had cosmetic surgery done, and his wife was so impressed that the work she had done looks “natural.”
His sister-in-law then remarked that she feels more comfortable spending time with their stepmom since she upgraded herself in the looks department.

This entire conversation led his wife to the conclusion that she also wants to have cosmetic surgery done, though she won’t tell him what the name of the procedure is.
All he knows is that his wife wants to completely change the shape of her face and go with a more conventionally attractive look.
“I was against the idea and expressed that she was beautiful,” he said. “She said, in reality, she knows she is average, and since she has the money why not.”
“I asked if it had anything to do with her stepmom and she got mad at me but said her sister was right and it is just awkward being around her.”
He’s pretty convinced his wife is only doing this because of her stepmom, and he doesn’t support her decision.
Cosmetic surgery as a whole is just not something he finds acceptable, though he understands he can’t convince his wife to not go through with it. He can refuse to help her recover from the surgery, and he has told his wife that.
“We have two young kids who will need me, and I feel like I would be compromising my principles and going along with something I find unhealthy,” he continued.
His wife called him a terrible name for not wanting to support her in the recovery process once she gets her surgery done, and his wife believes it’s something he is required to help her with.
Do you think he should push aside how he feels about cosmetic surgery and be there for his wife while she recovers regardless of his feelings?
