I am about to turn 45. I do try to take care of myself. I was previously in an unhealthy relationship, where my partner controlled what I ate, wore, and did to my body. He expected me to use Botox and lip filler (but I was expected to pay for it). He booked an appt with a breast surgeon and spoke for me when the surgeon asked what size I wanted (he proudly said largest available). I have worked very hard on my healing journey, but as I age, I feel insecure about my physical presentation. My current partner is an extraordinary man. I didn’t realize that respect and kindness like this could exist. That said, he has shared his relationship history and every one of the women he dated or had a relationship with were incredibly beautiful, much smaller than me, and 5-15 years younger than him. I am actually 1 year older than him. Sometimes I feel ashamed that I’m not as fit as he is, or that I’m not as young and beautiful as the other women he’s been with. As time has passed, as a man, have your preferences changed in what you find attractive? How do women like me even stand a chance? submitted by /u/Due-Scarcity739
