writes: What would you do or how would you feel if your husband told you that he was embarrassed to be seen with you in a bathing suit because you were small breasted and that he thought you looked like a man and wanted you to get implants? How would you feel if he asked you what your body measurements were and after you told him he asked you what is wrong with you, why aren't you a 36 24 36 like the girls in playboy? [my measurements were 33 26 37 5' 6" tall and 120 lbs I never even thought about my body image until he started this stuff. I didn't have an ugly body. I was in very good physical condition. At the time of his comments I was giving windsurfing lessons. Women that would drive by would stop and ask me what I did to get a body that looked as good as mine. Men were always telling me I had a beautiful body. MY brother-in-law told my sister that if my chest was bigger my body would be a perfect 10. A massage therapist that I bartered massage for exchange of windsurfing lessons [ who was not a lesbian,and was not trying to make a pass at me] who worked in a very large city told me that of all the patients she had, that I had the most beautiful body that she had seen. I am not trying to be boastful but only trying to give you information of the situation. Also I had recently weened my 9 month old baby, my breasts were larger when I was nursing and my husband really loved it, but when I stopped nursing they went back to their normal size. My husband wouldn't let up. My self esteem began to dwindle. He kept making negative remarks even after I told him it hurt my feelings. I don't know if he always had a problem with gawking at large breasts and I never noticed before but all I know is that I began to notice that he seemed obsessed with looking at other women's breasts. After my breasts went back to their normal size he never wanted to have anything to do with them. Sex with him was not to great either because he would cum in a minute or less and was never affectionate. He always preferred to have sex in a push-up position where his body wasn't laying on me. Finally on our 5th wedding ann. he gave me a ann. card with a plastic surgeons appointment card inside. I had always told him no, I didn't want to have fake boobs. Besides my breasts were not ugly. They were small, but beautiful. Needless to say by this time he had worn me down and I loved him so much and didn't want to lose him and was afraid I would if I didn't get the implants. I remember looking in the mirror and crying because I didn't feel right about changing my body. But I agreed to sign the dotted line. It was my choice, no one could sign it for me and it was the worst mistake I ever made. He completely changed towards my body. He would lay on my breasts when we had sex. He couldn't get enough of my new breasts and I loved the attention from him although I could no longer love the physical feeling because I no longer had any feeling in my breasts. Then I started to get sick. Fortunately for me, I had blood work done before my implants. There was a test called an ana that had been done, It was normal. A rate of 40 or below is normal. When I started getting sick according to the doctors I had the symptoms of ms, scleraderma, and lupus. My ana was now 1280 and the test results would come back saying that with an ana that high I should be tested for the above diseases that I just mentioned. The doctor told me that it had to be the implants that were making me sick, that he had 5 other women that he had seen in the past few weeks that all had high ana and all had symptoms of the three diseases mentioned and all had implants. Anyway it was very obvious that I was sick and when I told my husband that I wanted to get my implants out he blew up and told me that it was all in my head. I had already told him my symptoms, of course some of them you could see. Well a few weeks later I get something in the mail that is giving all the symptoms of implants for people who are sensitive to them. I pretty much had every one. Before this I had never heard of problems with implants. I had never read any symptoms but I had the same ones that were in the letter. So I told my husband that I was going to get them taken out and asked him if he would still be sexually attracted to me if I had them removed. His response was, I don't know. That was not what I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear him say that he loved me and not my boobs. That I was more important to him than having large breasts. I had them removed and It did affect him. He no longer gave them any attention and he went back to having sex in a pushup position not laying on me anymore. So what I want to know is what would you have done in the same situation and how would it make you feel about yourself and your husband?

would you love your husband less if he had a small penis? would you love him less if he had any defect? i don't think so. Your husband is superficial and i bet he's been watching too much porn. Breasts come in all sizes and a real MAN likes boobs but prefers the whole woman behind the boobs. i used to obsess over my small breasts but no i love my body... find a man who will RESPECT and LOVE you the way you are.

All these ladies have the right idea.
My suggestion: Therapy or Divorce.
My second suggestion: make yourself some appointments with a physiotherapist to carefully retrain your pectoral muscles, so you can get back to doing what you love.

that's such a sad story. you're obviously such a caring and thoughtful person, but he is taking horrible advantage of you! he sounds like a truly horrible person. whether you like it or not, he is abusing you, mentally, and you need to force yourself to get out of this relationship quick. if not for yourself, then for your child. if he could find fault with someone so obviously beautiful, how cruel do you think he could be to a child?

Even tiny real ones. I'd take a girl with an AAA cup over a girl with big fake DDs ANY DAY. Most men would probably agree (note that I said men not boys). it is your HUSBAND that is flawed not you. find yourself a real man, your self esteem will increase 1000 fold once you get this idiot of your back. then you can start seeing yourself through your own eyes and through the eys of REAL men who know how beautiful you are. men who havent been blinded by ridiculous ideas that seem to come from pornography and lad mags. some boys buy into it. men don't. get a MAN.

reader, anonymous, writes (20 January 2009): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionWhat I was wondering was, how it would make you feel about yourself and your husband. I did get the implants and had them removed five years later. I personally have had a very hard time dealing with this. My self esteem is very, very low. Before I met my husband I felt really good about myself. Now I feel very unattractive and I have become a jealous person. Every time I see him looking at other women's breast I feel like I hate him. I feel like I have so much anger towards him. Then I also feel bad about myself for being jealous and having so much resentment and unforgivness towards him. So I was wondering if my feelings are normal or am I over reacting. And as far as windsurfing and riding the waves again I would love to do that as well as doing 200 guy pushups and 20 chinups like I use to do, but ever since they were removed I have no upper body strength and I can't do any of this stuff anymore. The surgeon that removed them also said I would have to be very careful, since my implants were under the pectoral muscles, I have the potential of ripping the muscles off the chest wall. Implants for me was a very big mistake. They affected me in a very negative way physically and emotionally. I know there are lots of women that have them and have never had problems, but I personally will always strongly advise against them to anyone that asks my opinion.

Your question is what would we have done and how would it make us feel. Do you mean would we have gotten the implants in the first place or do you mean would we have them removed or keep them after the sickness? I doubt that I would get implants for such an insensitive asshole. It would make me feel like crap and highly unattractive. What kind of a husband is that??? He cares more about boobs than you! You are sick and need them taken out and he gets pissed and stops touching you again?? I can honestly say if I ever met this man I would kick him in the balls. I can't even believe men like that exist out there. I knew there was an obsession with large boobs for some men, but they change their perspective when they meet a woman they love and grow to love her body type because it is hers. There aren't even words for your husband. I really hope you are considering leaving this prick. I have small boobs and love how I look, unlike huge boobs that will inevitably sag one day. Follow the last poster's advice. You can find a man who will love you for you and your husband can be alone and miserable with his porn magazines.

I would get him a blow up doll, and as for you, i would start a new life without him. He is making you dislike yourself and YOU KNOW you can have a great life without him.
Ride the waves again....and let a real man ride yours!
Good Luck.

It is not your fault your boobs are small, in fact I think small boobs are better! I have big boobs (for my age) and I hate the way guys stare at my chest, it makes me feel like a prostitute.
Why don't you listen to everyone else and know that YOU are beautiful! So many people forget that BREASTS EXIST FOR FEEDING BABIES AND THAT'S IT! Women are not objects and he has no right to treat you like that.
If I were you I would be sooo angry at him. You must be very sweet to not have stuck him in a trash compacter(sp) by now.
Know that you are beautiful, hope you get this all figured out ;)
