My theory for his actions at the beginning of the relationship is that, he was just being completely honest, without any thought for consequence. It’s difficult to leave such a lovely package. He supports my goals and dreams and always believes in me when other people do not. He listens to me and is interested in my life. He always wants to buy me anything and everything I want, even though he can’t cause we’re not rich, but he always tries his best. He does dishes, takes out garbage, is kind and thoughtful. You might be wondering why I stay with him? Well, he’s WONDERFUL. It annoys the hell out of me that he always tries to overcompensate. I usually tell him to drop it with the comments because I don’t believe him. Right after that he never compared me to anyone again, he even started complimenting me and saying that I was the most beautiful woman in the world to him. He was completely shocked at my confrontation as if he didn’t realize he was hurting me. I told him that what he was saying was downright hurtful and that he shouldn’t be with me if all he can think of is improving me and making me more like other women he probably desired. Then one day, I was mad enough to confront him. I was incredibly hurt every time but I held my disappointment and devastation inside. I was also only 20 at the time and really wanted this relationship to work. I think I didn’t confront him for so long because I really liked him otherwise. A lot of similar things were said over and over for probably the first six months of our relationship. He never complimented me on any of my physical traits, yet every weekend we hung out, he would somehow manage to tell me that he wanted me to have larger breasts like so-and-so, get more toned legs like this person, grow your hair long and put on some eye shadow…. I was hooked and I said yes, yes I will be your girlfriend. When he first met me, he had fallen for me straight away, always coming in for coffee on my shift at the local cafe, always texting first, offering rides home, asking me out first. The amazing man I’m with told me to improve my looks when we first got together.
