Husband 33/m Sent Me 36/f Photo of Someone Else’s Body but my face. How am I suppose to react?

A Reddit user recounted a distressing incident in which their spouse sent them a picture of their face superimposed on a slim, unclothed body, a far cry from their real physique. This occurred after the spouse had already made disparaging remarks about their looks. The user expressed feelings of profound pain and bewilderment, struggling to understand how to react to such actions.

Even though they shared how they felt, their spouse brushed aside their sentiments, labeling them as too sensitive. The user now finds it difficult to make sense of what happened and figure out how to deal with feeling dismissed. To find out what others had to say about this, check out the complete story down below.

‘ Husband 33/m Sent Me 36/f Photo of Someone Else’s Body but my face. How am I suppose to react?’

I (36f) intended to accompany my husband (m/33) in the yard, but I paused when I noticed him digitally drawing a nude figure. Soon after, he entered the house displaying a picture of me, fully dressed, standing before a sign in public. I then inquired about the whereabouts of the nude image.

He scolded me for being nosy while still drawing on my picture. He wondered why my face looked so round. I went to my room without a word. Later, he messaged me the image he was busy with. It was my face photoshopped onto a naked body that wasn’t mine. It was a beautiful, slim physique with firm breasts. The truth is I’m overweight, and my breasts droop slightly…

I nursed both of my children, and I am also not as young as I used to be. Therefore, what am I meant to think? I am upset, but if I bring it up, he will brush it aside and accuse me of exaggerating. He referred to me as plump and has frequently mentioned that my breasts droop.

Can you please tell me how I’m to process this? Because I am sensitive and emotional and never know if I’m over reacting. He’s mad at me now calling me stupid and the worst partner ever bc I take everything over board.

Here’s the comments of Reddit users:

HatsAndTopcoats −  I’m saying this not simply based on the photo but on everything in your post: Your husband is contemptuous of you and emotionally abusive. He enjoys making you feel bad and then abusing you for reacting to it. This is not normal, it’s sick and disturbing. Please don’t let your kids think that a marriage is supposed to be a man making a woman feel like s**t while she stoically absorbs it.

SkyXIV −  Send him a pic with his face on a guy who is ripped and with a huge duck.

LolaPaloz −  Is your husband 6 years old? Why is he colouring in ur photo

No_Sky_946 −  Are the men ok? Like truly ok?

AdAdmirable587 −  I’m at a loss for words. The fact that you even think you’re overreacting or being sensitive tells me this man has been bullying you then g**lighting you for a while. This is straight up psychological abuse. I know we’re all very quick to jump to “leave him” on here,

maleficent_water793:
I don’t view this as a lighthearted error, a jest, or something amusing. He did this on purpose, with the aim to wound you. To communicate, following your experience of childbirth and breastfeeding, that your physique is inadequate. Frankly, the sole resolution is to sever his penis and then depart.

Deep_Narwhal_5758 −  “He asked why my face is so chubby” Ask him why he has the audacity to ask something like that & throw it back at him (even if he’s in shape because his attitude stinks). If he says your breasts are saggy again, tell him that it’s from him dragging you down with his comments/ attitude.

Gator-bro −  Why are you married to such a crappy person? He is mentally abusing you

ChickenScratchCoffee −  Ask if he can make one of him but with a larger penis…

LisaOGiggle −  Once upon a time, I dated someone who said I’d be perfect if my boobs were bigger and my belly flatter. My response was-If I’m so unsatisfactory, by all means take the road out front in either direction, as long as it was away from me. If you pay for the boob enhancement, the gym membership & the tummy tuck, I’ll be most happy to oblige, but you thought I was cute before, so now make your choice.

violue −  your husband sounds like an absolute cunt, hon

Were the user’s feelings reasonable, or were they too sensitive to their husband’s actions?
