People are not malleable creations for others to manipulate to their preference. If you don’t love your partner’s natural appearance then stop wasting their time and leave the relationship.

You should never feel pressured by a partner or family to change your physical appearance just because it doesn’t suit their unrealistic standards.

Say these words aloud as you read them, “I am beautiful, I am enough and I am nobody’s personal Mrs./Mr. Potato Head.”

Nobody can reach into a tub and pull out features and rearrange your appearance, so don’t let them.

Your appearance is what makes you unique and sets you apart from the rest of humanity and if your partner can’t appreciate that then move on and find someone else who does.

When an individual is told they should should lose weight because they look disgusting, or that they would be more attractive if they had bigger breasts, it leaves a lasting impact on their self esteem.

Women and men shouldn’t allow their partners to condition them by projecting their own ideals about appearance.

You are not your partner’s property and should not allow them to treat you as such.

Your partner is also not entitled to deny you the right to do whatever you wish with your body.

A woman should not be denied to right to have their body tattooed just because their partner claims tattoos are too masculine.

Is their masculinity that fragile that they have to project onto others?

So for all those women who are not sure of how to respond to those who try to prevent you from participating in certain aspects that deem masculine, speak in a language that they’ll understand and say, “grow some balls and get over it.”

Same goes for men who like manicures, face masks or want to dye their hair but their partner keeps forcing ridiculous gender roles that prevents them from doing such things.

Honestly, the partner should be at peace with the fact that their male counterpart is gentle and not one bit concerned at projecting his testosterone levels and false sense of machismo.

In actuality, a partner who demands that you change their appearance for them will allow themselves to look like total garbage and won’t make the same sacrifices for you as they are demanding you make for them.

No person is worth the emotional and physical pain.

The point is if you don’t like your partner’s disposition and appearance, leave them alone and deal with your own insecurities instead of projecting them onto others.

You are not doing your partners any favors by commenting negatively on their appearance, instead you are deteriorating their self confidence and completely decimating the way that they view themselves.

If you do want to improve on your own appearance do it on your own accord, you appreciate your self growth a hell of lot more if it’s done solely for yourself.

Also you can sit back while your ex partner eats shit because they couldn’t make you as insecure and miserable as they were.
