thats not fair. if he has you now for his partner then he just have to deal with it. saying that to you means that he does not have respect for you. i wont keep up with a guy like that. if they are prettier and better why did he get out of the relation with those previous partners? maybe because he is really mean.

We need to learn to love ourselves enough to realize that there really is no limit to how BEAUTIFUL we can be. There is NO SUCH THING as ugly. Beauty will always be not just in the eye of the beholder but in our own eyes as well, after all, the eyes are the mirror of our souls. I hate to say it like this but your husband is very disrespectful that is not love and that is inappropriate and very unnecessary.

I think that your husband has issues if he doesn't think that you are beautiful........for putting up with him, if for nothing else! I 'm sure that you are not ugly, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That's mean. Why would he say things like that to a woman he is supposed to love? I'd tell him "Then why did you marry ME?" Don't listen to him. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and if that is you in your avatar pic then you are very pretty.

and there is really nothing to be ashamed off..your husbands ex's maybe prettier or sexier or better than you but who is the winner? who got your husbands heart you right? so just don't mind what you're husband is saying to you..just don't feel envious you are pretty in your own..if your husband do not see it then he can't appreciate you.

Oh my!! that's really hurting. Is he serious of saying that to you? or he is just joking? but even then, he should not do that. Well, some people do not think before they say a word. They don't realize that they are already hurting others, much more if it a member of our family who will do that. I just admire you because you can tolerate that kind of treatment to you. Anyway, even if we are ugly outside but beautiful inside that matters so much. have a good day.

My first question...Why are you married to someone who is not physically attractive to you...and lets it be known? Physical attraction is not the whole relationship...but it is alot. He doesnt respect you or your feelings. Another reason to ask you WHY you are with this man? I just dont understand why woman put up with men who are constantly putting them down and making them feel like poop. UGH

Your husband is a stupid. By no account you are so as he claims. But, then its his point of view and no body can help in this regard. You have to be yourself and carry on with this.

This is terrible. How dare he keep on comparing other women like that ? Did he not see you for what you are before he got married? I am sure you are not ugly.How is he going to feel if you keep saying that A is this B is this? I think this is downright bad behaviour. He does it to annoy you.

No one is ugly. Every living thing is beautiful in it's own way. Beauty comes from the inside not from the outside and I am sure you let your beauty shine through. Any person who says the things your husband is saying is actually insecure in his own life. Don't let it get to you, just consider the source and try to forgive his insecurities.

That is so bad! I don't think he really means that. But you should tell him it's hurting you because no matter what, he should at least be a little respectful. No one is ugly. Everyone has a beauty of their own and your husband saw that when he married you. Now if he went blind to it, then maybe he doesn't deserve you. I'm sorry but if there's such thing as physical abuse, emotional abuse is no different. He should be ashamed of himself. (sorry)

So if I understand you correctly your current husband tells you that you aren't as pretty as his past wife or girlfriend - and you put up with that?? Its one thing to be self-assured in ones appearance, but its another to put up with abuse. I myself am no great beauty queen. But, I certainly won't put up with someone putting me down constantly either. It shows a severe lack of respect. I sincerely hope that you aren't still putting up with that - from anyone!

girl- you are BEAUTIFUL. trust me, there are plenty of people that would LOVE to be that pretty. So you have nothing to be ashamed of. Your husband is nuts and you must be miserable. Instead of giving him the pleasure of insulting you- you should scoff at his remarks. You're gorgeous- just know it yourself. Usually when you have pride and self esteem other people tend to appreciate you more. Especially men- not sure why.

your husband is being downright cruel, and why is he comparing you to old girlfriends and ex wives? Your picture does not show an ugly woman but a rather attractive woman. Maybe your husband needs new glasses or you need a new more kindly husband.Of course it hurts. if my husband had ever said something like that to me, I would point to the door, say theres the door, and dont let it slam your butt as you leave. goodbye and please do not return. I would not stand for my husband being cruel like that, not ever. I would tell him to shape up or ship out, one or the other.

I think it is your husband who is ugly, because he is not a nice person to do that, and you are beautiful, because you have belief in yourself and you are a better person than he is. Truly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and no-one in this world is ugly in appearance. People who think appearances matter more than anything else are very shallow and cannot know real beauty when they see it. Physical beauty will always fade. The ex-wife and the ex-girlfriend will lose their good looks in time, and they will not be so pretty in future. Inner beauty can increase with age.

if he keeps saying that, why did he marry you? usually when people fall in love and marry each other, they think they each are attractive no matter what they really look like because they developed a bond and chemistry together that fits and complements one another...

from what i can see i dont think you are ugly!! and i think that is horrible how he is treating you but if you havent noticed in the movies and on tv a lot of the stars that are on tv arent the beautiful people that they used to obsessively show all the time.. it seems like the more unique the look (whether that be pretty or just odd/ugly looking) have had a good career.. and a lot of plain looking people are stars of tv shows.. so it seems like what used to be the typical "ugly" is starting to turn popular.. i love greys anatomy but i dont think merideth is pretty.. the characters on the office arent attractive to me.. so if you think you are ugly (which you are not) just think about how hollywood is starting to think that that look is in.. perfect is over used so much that they seem to just want something DIFFERENT!!!
