Man Gets Caught In A Catch-22 After Telling His Wife That She Should Get A Nose Job

Most people are lucky enough to be wed to someone who wholeheartedly loves them and all of their faults, thoughts, and insecurities. It's hard enough to find a person who perfectly fits our description of a soulmate, but often, people do find someone they truly want to spend the rest of their lives with.

That being said, it can be hard to let a potential lover in and reveal all the different layers of yourself, including your traumas and hardships. Some people, especially women, may also struggle with showing their true selves, particularly in the physical aspect.

Because let's face it—we all have insecurities regarding our physique, and even if not everyone can afford it, some people actually undergo certain procedures to "fix" parts of themselves they do not like. Most people would fix their faces, tummies, or marks on their skin to regain the confidence they lost after dwelling on their insecurities for too long.

It's a different story, however, when we reveal or complain about these insecurities to our significant other. It can be liberating, especially when your partner truly assures you that there is nothing wrong with you and that they love you exactly for who you are, regardless of how you feel about yourself.

For one man, however, this whole situation proves to be difficult, especially with a wife who gets offended by any comment he makes about her insecurity. A Reddit user by the handle u/bcjskxnsjsi posted in the r/AmITheA**h*le community, narrating his story about dealing with his wife's insecurity regarding her nose, asking if he was the a**h*le for suggesting that she should get a nose job.

That might sound bad, but take a look at his full post below.

He posted this question in the r/AITA subcommunity.

He begins by narrating the background of his relationship, adding that his wife has been conscious of her nose's appearance for as long as he can remember.

Yep, it seems like he can't win in this situation either way. Damned if you do and damned if you don't, indeed.

Setting boundaries is healthy, and this is proof of it.

Honestly speaking, her complaints are doing more harm than good, not only to herself but also to her husband.

She's lucky to have such a supportive and understanding husband!

But yes, she owes him an apology.

Title got you fooled, huh?

She obviously has some underlying issues that therapy can address.

The decision is all hers.

At the end of the day, what matters is that OP should also not fail to make his wife feel loved and enough either way—nose job or none.

This could work.

Let's face it, women can indeed be complicated at times.

Let's just hope they will be able to get through this!

"You are in a lose-lose situation."

He has indeed supported her to the best of his ability.

Well, after all those comments, OP provided an update regarding the situation, and fortunately, it seems like it's getting better for both of them.

It's not easy dealing with long-term insecurities, and it's also not easy for people's significant others to consistently handle the complaints, especially when they are already trying their best to comfort and support the other in every decision they make. Not everything is black and white, though, so at the end of the day, what matters most is that we develop an environment where love and understanding can flourish.
