Woman gets real about having a different body type to her husband
For some reason, our society often talks about couples as though they should look similarly beautiful. Or should at least be on the same level of perceived ‘hotness’ in order to be equal in the relationship. We often describe men as ‘punching above their weight’ when they are in a relationship with a woman who is more visually attractive than them. We say this like it’s a joke, like “Dave’s done well for himself!”
But when women ‘punch’, it’s a different matter. There’s apparent concern; doesn’t she worry that he might fall for another girl? Doesn’t being with someone more attractive dent her confidence? This physical judgement is misplaced, though, as one woman has pointed out in a viral instagram post.
Jasmine Owens, 25, shared a picture of herself and her boyfriend on the beach. In the picture, they look happy and in love, and are having fun on the beach. We should all be feeling kind of envious, espcially as Jasmine shared the picture to discuss how much she loves her body.
“Over the years this man has loved every curve, every roll, and every stretch mark on my body. I never understood why!” she wrote.
“How could he love something that isn't "perfect"? How could a man who was "born fit" love someone like me! I don't have a flat stomach, I jiggle when I walk, hell if I run up the stairs too fast my body claps (lmao)!!
“But now I see I do have the "perfect" body!! Every roll, every curve and every stretch mark is put on me just perfect to make both of us happy!!! I love my body and I finally see why he does too!!”
