Hubby Shuts Down Wife’s Plastic Surgery Plans, Says He Won’t Look After Her If She Changes Her Face
Plastic surgery has become an effortless way to touch up one’s appearance and make people feel better about the way they look. The problem with it being so easy is that folks might want to get many cosmetic procedures done even when they don’t need to.
This is what happened to a man’s wife who felt she needed to change her face to keep up with her sister and stepmom. The guy was so annoyed by his wife’s decision that he gave her an ultimatum.

Plastic surgery is not always the solution to a person’s self-esteem and mental health concerns

The poster shared that ever since his wife was young, she always compared herself to other girls, and began doing the same when her dad got a new wife

Recently, the poster’s sister-in-law got a cosmetic procedure done to keep up with their stepmom, so his wife also decided to get plastic surgery

The poster didn’t want his wife to get the cosmetic procedure done and questioned her if she was only doing it because of her stepmom and sister

Since the man didn’t approve of his wife’s decision to get plastic surgery, he told her that if she went through with it, he wouldn’t look after her once it was done
When the woman’s dad left his 58-year-old wife for a lady who was just 2 years older than his daughter, this must have definitely brought up a lot of difficult feelings for her. It also seems like the woman had always been insecure about her background and looks because of the school she was put in and her stepmom.
The poster stated that for many years, his wife would keep comparing herself to her stepmom because the other woman had many qualities that she wanted. This might have brought up feelings of envy, which can sometimes be all-consuming and even affect a person’s mental health over time.
One day, the woman’s sister decided to get plastic surgery done, and after the procedure, she stated that she no longer felt uncomfortable around their stepmom. She made it seem like changing her appearance had improved her self-esteem and suddenly made her a more confident person.
According to studies, around 70% of young women and 60% of men consider plastic surgery as a way to deal with dissatisfaction about their looks or bodies. That’s also probably why the poster’s sister-in-law decided to go down that route, but he was shocked when his wife said she wanted to get a cosmetic procedure done as well.

The woman wanted to get her face shape changed and was probably motivated by the confidence that her sister felt after her procedure. Unfortunately, the OP was not on board with the idea at all and told her that she had no reason to make such a drastic change. He didn’t seem to get how badly she wanted the work done on her appearance.
To put his foot down, the poster issued an ultimatum and told his wife that he wouldn’t take care of her if she went through with the surgery. He explained his decision by stating that her choice went against his principles, and he didn’t want to compromise on his beliefs just to enable her.
Even though it might seem noble to try and convince a loved one against undergoing plastic surgery, experts state that it’s important to actually respect their decision. Couples should talk about this idea at length so that they can both be on the same page with regard to this big choice.
Even though the poster’s intentions behind issuing the ultimatum to his wife were good, he was trying to impose his own beliefs on her. It’s possible that if they both calmly share their perspective with the other person, it might be easier to deal with this conflict and resolve it.
Do you think the man was right to assert his opinion about his wife’s plastic surgery idea? Let us know your honest thoughts on this matter.
Many folks felt that the man had overstepped by trying to control his wife’s decision to get a cosmetic procedure

I'm sorry that's just pathetic. What that woman needs is therapy not plastic surgery. Her reasons for this are literally pathological, and anyone encouraging her to maim herself in the name of competing with her father's wife is as sick as she is. She's actually willing to disrespect her husband and make extra work for her family so she can be prettier for daddy? Bizarre. I would be concerned about my children being raised by someone this unstable and neurotic if I was the hubby and would insist on therapy to remain in the relationship.

Recreational surgery is a huge risk to take when you have young kids that need you. Things like extreme sports are generally put on hold while kids are young, serious cosmetic surgery is statistically riskier that mountaineering or kiting etc it's not ok for one parent to take unnecessary risks with their health that could affect the whole family. When the kids are older, and a long recovery or incurred disability would still be a big deal, but easier coped with, it's a different conversation.

Thank you. Yeah, what she wants is entirely recreational. Or call it performative. Surgery will not fix her self esteem. She'll end up wanting another thing "fixed", then another, and so on.

Face shape is a huge thing to change. While it is her body, there's a good chance, even ignoring unnecessary medical risks and something going wrong, it will have a serious impact on her husband's attraction to her. I would be crushed if my partner's face changed that much. And while if he wanted it, I don't think it would be my place to stop him, I would definitely have the conversation about that risk, just as I'd have the conversation about medical risk. It's one thing if there's an accident, but I love his face so much, if he changed it, I'd be hugely disappointed and reminded every time I saw him.
