Why should I put effort into my appearance when my husband just looks at every other girl anyway?

its not like I've let myself go. I'm 22, he's 23. I go to the gym 5 days a week and I'm fairly active. I do t see the point of spending an hour on my hair when it's just going to get sweaty... I shower twice a day, I wear basic make up when I leave the house. Just foundation and mascara. I dress in normal clothes. My go to outfit is usually leggings or jeans with a t shirt. My husband is always complaining that I don't put any effort into what I look like. He says he's attracted to me, but he wants me to do my hair and wear nicer things for him. I once went to dinner with friends for a besties birthday to some really high class place. I put a lot of make up on, and my husband got upset, asking why I never put that much effort into looking good for him. Thing is, My husband is always checking out other girls. I don't see the point in getting dressed up and putting time into myself for someone that's just going to see a girl with bigger boobs and totally forget about me in that second. Why? I'd just feel stupid all done up while my guy is checking out other girls. Why should I dress up when he's attracted to everything else on the planet and there will always be someone better looking than me in his opinion. Best to just go to the gym, stay healthy and skip all the discouragement. Whst do you guys think?

  • He sounds ridiculous. If he married you then he married you, not your makeup, or your clothes, or your hairstyle. He should love YOU not what you look like. If it were your boyfriend I would say to let him go, but in this case, just tell him how it is and that you like who you are and shouldn't need to change for his benefit.

  • Why you get married so young?

  • I'd say every once in a while, maybe surprise him. Cook dinner before he comes home, set the mood, put some time into your appearance and make his jaw drop! haha. That's just personally what I'd do.

    But you should voice your feelings to your husband. Have a serious conversation other than just "you look at other women" and he replies "you dont take the time!" but really dig and see what the root of both your issues are.

  • Dont men prefer no makeup though? I guess some like it more. You live life for you, so dont stop something that makes you happy. However, you need to have a convo with him and reevaluate your happiness with him, is their things he isn't doing that he should. Like are you still physically attracted to him , is he still wooing you , and what can you two work on together for your relationship. Start checking out other guys so he knows how it feels.
