The problem with most peoples line of thinking is that superficial stuff doesn't matter. 

 

If that's the case then why is it that generally the first thing people think of is what size clothing their going to get etc?

Im embarrassed by my family hell when my mother was dying she was dragged out of the house on a tarp. Doesn't mean I didn't love her. 

 

The thing you need to do is communicate your concerns. What matters is all about the both of you. Not what bitter people think on the internet. A significant other probably goes through more than you likely believe.

Hi Lizzy girl, I wish I could say I understand your situation but I don't. In fact my husband has been against (but supportive...eventually) of each of my procedures including the initial wls. It sounds like you have a lot in common with this man and have a deep affection. I have found that in relationships things that don't initially bother us about our significant others over time do start to creep in..no matter how much you love them. I adore my husband and have been with him for over twenty years but lately his inability to become healthier with more activity is really bothering me. I'm not saying this to get lambasted by others who will no doubt point out that he accepted me obese, it is more to make a point that when we are in relationships things can change and frequently do. He sounds like he would like to help make everything better by co-paying for plastic surgery. This is a very generous offer. This is not the same vein as someone paying to get their wives boobs enlarged, At all. Perhaps is it possible that you are not as comfortable in your skin as you think? During the vacation, did you make any comments about not liking your body or attempt to hide it in any way? This is important because those that love us are very sensitive to any disparaging comments we make about ourselves and it at this point that it may start to bother him. Self-confidence is sexy, with any amount of fat or skin on ones body. If in fact this is not the case I would accept his generous offer and see what happens next. The thing about PS is it will not take away the insults that we spent years heaping on our bodies, it will make it better, but never perfect. If he is expecting perfection then he will be sorely disappointed. I wish you much luck in solving this issue, it is not an easy one- Cheers.
