Traveling to Mexico was a dream realized for me. My husband, our two kids, and I were ready to have the time of our lives, and just thinking about it brought me so much happiness. However, once we got there, my husband’s actions made me start to doubt his feelings for me. He wouldn’t take any photos with me, which left me feeling confused, and discovering the truth was heartbreaking.
As we touched down in Mexico, I was certain we were in for an unforgettable experience. Just days before our departure, I found out I had inherited money and property from my uncle, and I had planned to share this news with Luke during our getaway.
But his repeated refusal to take pictures with me raised some serious concerns.
Whenever I asked him to take a picture, he would respond with, “Not now, Hannah,” or “I’m not in the mood for photos right now, maybe later.”
It was odd since snapping a quick photo only took a few seconds—time that Luke seemed unwilling to give me.
This continued for several days, and then one day, he left his phone unlocked on the bed while he went to take a shower.
It felt wrong to invade his privacy, but I desperately needed to understand what was behind Luke’s actions.
A message popped up in the group chat with his friends, and there it was.
“Can you believe it, guys? At her size, she still expects me to take pictures of her,” he had typed. “Where would she even fit in the frame? She’s changed so much since having the baby.”
Those words crushed me. I never realized my husband held such a negative view of my looks.
Without hesitation, I snapped a selfie and shared it online with the caption, “Is my appearance so unappealing that my own husband doesn’t want to take my picture?”
Before long, I was flooded with supportive comments and messages.
When Luke emerged from the bathroom and noticed my post, he acted as if he had no clue about my actions, so I brought up the messages he had sent to his friends.
“Just so you know, I’ve inherited my uncle’s property and assets, which means I’m moving into his house and ending our relationship,” I stated.
I simply couldn’t remain with someone who found me unattractive.
Once he heard about the inheritance, he began to apologize, but I realized his remorse was only because of the financial aspect.
I gathered my bags, brought my kids along, and we headed out, leaving Luke behind.
I’m uncertain about what lies ahead for me and my children, but I realize that being with someone like Luke isn’t what I truly deserve.
