When Your Partner Says You're Not Their Type—Now What? 😅

So, here's the deal: I've been with my boyfriend for a year, and out of nowhere, he drops this truth bomb—he doesn't find me physically attractive. He says he likes me, but I'm not what he pictured when he dreamed of his ideal girlfriend. Apparently, he always wanted to date someone 'hot,' but couldn't, so he 'settled' for me because he didn't want to be alone. Ouch, right? He told me straight up that I'm not pretty, and honestly, I know I'm not a 10. Maybe a 4 or 5 on a good day. But hearing it from someone you care about? That stings. I tried to laugh it off, but deep down, it hurt. What do you even do when the person you love admits you’re not their type? Is love supposed to feel like this? 😔 #relationshipstruggles #selfesteem #datingadvice #emotionalhonesty #RomanticRelationships
