In a recent anonymous post on Reddit’s “True Off My Chest,” the woman wrote that she and her husband, both 32, “have been together for 8 years, married for 5."
The woman went on to say that before they got married, her husband was a bit overweight, chose to sport a shaved hairstyle and "didn't know how to choose clothes for himself," but that didn't stop her from falling in love "with who he was as a person."
Even though she didn't think he was the most physically attractive man she'd ever met, she felt like that meant "he wouldn't cheat on me," which was important to her because she'd been cheated on in her other relationships, she wrote.

As the couple entered their second year of marriage, the woman wrote, her husband began going to the gym five times a week in an effort to support his sister who was dealing with heart issues.
In addition to losing weight, the woman's husband suddenly seemed to have "full on abs" and his professional life also got a boost, which in turn led him to change up his style, the woman wrote.

“He became head of his department and his former boss advised that he should look more 'presentable' as a representation of their department. My husband took his words to heart and turned to me for help," she wrote. "We went on shopping spree and started to let his hair grow out."
"Turns out he has a beautiful hair," she added.
However, now that her husband "keeps getting more attractive," the woman has become uncomfortable with the female attention he's getting — even at work events — she wrote.
“I noticed that women ... [were] just swooning over my husband and even worse he just doesn't realize it," she wrote. "There was one younger girl who gave him a kiss on the cheek while WE WERE SITTING TOGETHER."
When she confronted her husband about the encounter, he assured her that nothing was going on but that he would “try to keep my distance," the woman wrote. Not that his reassurance did much to calm her fears.
"I feel like as soon as we get into rought patch (if we get into it) there is ton of women waiting to pray on him. I am scared that some of those woman will affect him as he is pretty naive as a person," she wrote.
The woman went on to admit in her post that she has a "great if not perfect husband" and couldn't help but "feel like such a POS for wishing he stayed physically the same."

In the comment section, many other Reddit users shared that they didn't see eye-to-eye with the woman and that the way somebody looks has nothing to do with whether they'll be unfaithful or not in their relationship.
“I think you need to get some therapy for your relationship trauma," one comment reads. "You have 8 years of experience and understanding with this guy, and THAT should be what drives your mindset ... From what you've said, he seems to only have eyes for you, is only interested in you, and wants to be with YOU."
Another user wrote, “All this told me is that you don’t trust your husband."
However, some comments struck a more compassionate tone.
"This is an example of how badly being cheated on royally f---- a person’s ability to be a healthy partner," wrote one user. "This is seemingly a great relationship and she’s still finding something wrong because she’s wary of being cheated on."
"Part of healing is accepting that it very well COULD happen again, but you have to really trust that it WON’T," the comment continued.
