Even if our SOs lack physical attributes we prefer, it’s really hurtful to them, and relationship suicide to tell them this.

I never cut my husband down physically, rather built him up. But, I once blurted out an unforgivable jab in anger which I really regret. But he never reacted to it. I suppose I was trying to push him away, but he isn’t having it. I’m not exactly sure why he hangs on.
