It’s natural for partners to change and grow in a relationship. But what happens when your partner no longer resembles the person you fell in love with? Do you tell them the truth, pretend nothing’s changed, or try to find some kind of compromise?
That’s the dilemma one man faced a year ago, when he first shared his story on Reddit. He’d admitted he was no longer attracted to his wife after a series of cosmetic procedures dramatically changed her appearance. Despite still loving her deeply, he struggled to maintain their intimate relationship, and the couple eventually agreed to open their marriage. Now he’s back with two updates, including a new ultimatum from his wife. But the latest developments take their already painful situation in a more troubling direction.
