I am totally baffled by this comment section. Yes society is making unrealistic toxic beauty standards the norm and of course no one has anything to say what women do with their own body.
Buy why the fuck are we all pretending that what OP's GF is doing is somewhat normal behavior. These are very obvious signs of body related issues maybe body dismorphic disorder. Pretending this is somehow normal is actually normalizing a very sick making part of society.
Obviously you don't have anything to say about what she does and it looks like opening up a conversation about it is maybe impossible. So in the end I do agree with the rest that these different viewpoints can be reason enough to move on.
Yeah a lot of the effects aren't immediate, which makes it easier for people to disassociate the cause from the effect. It's like delayed gratification, except the opposite of gratifying
If she was so against the idea and didn’t like the stress it brought her she had a choice to not marry you in the middle of your business venture. But she did and she stuck by you. So for her to still be resentful when it worked out very well for you seems somewhat odd.
I agree with others there seems to be something else in play here for her. I’m not sure what it is and I’m hesitant to make assumptions about how she is feeling. I do feel maybe she would be better in individual therapy to explore what her feelings are for herself.
I also don’t think you did anything wrong. You were upfront at the beginning and honest with what your were going to do.
Maybe you could try having an open conversation with her. See if she can explain it better to see if there is something you can do to make her feel more comfortable or safe depending on what her issues really are. Also if you are so comfortable now and have no money issues you can do all the things she thinks she missed in the early days now. A marriage is a lifetime not just a few years. You both have plenty of time to enjoy life together.
Try finding a hobby…say like reposting your posts in this venue….
Sadly, that doesn't mean anything.
Some people are just really good in showing you want they think you want to continue to use you to their advantage.
You're nothing more than a passtime and convenient fuckbuddy.
Move on, he's not worth the headache
Is he on the spectrum?
