In the complicated world of love, we sometimes see couples who are clearly heading for a breakup. It’s hard to face the truth and end a bad relationship, but sometimes we have no choice. This time, people on the internet shared how they knew their relationship was going to end soon.
We were in the bathroom getting dressed for a friend’s wedding. At the time, I was in the best shape of my life, felt good about myself, and thought I looked good in that outfit. My wife was finishing her makeup and I commented on how beautiful she looked. I waited for her to say something nice back, but she did not. And I just got it.
I couldn’t remember a single time when she complimented me on my appearance. So I said, “You know, I always tell you how beautiful you are and how attracted I am to you, but I don’t remember you ever telling me that I look good or that I look handsome.” She stopped applying mascara long enough to roll her eyes in disdain.
So I made the mistake of asking her, “Do you find me attractive?” and she said flatly, “No.” I asked her, “Why did you marry me then?” And she said, “I didn’t think it was important at the time.” I never felt so ugly and unloved as I did that day. And it hurt even more because I had felt so good about myself for once in my life 30 seconds earlier.
