How do I come to accept that I am not my husbands 'type' and that he married me mostly for personality and connection. Although I know he loves me Im having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the type of women he finds attractive are very different to me. I cant become like them because the attributes he prefers are not as simple as hair colour or weight it is more to do with a certain body type (ie my breasts are too large for his liking) age and height etc. Things I cant change. So how do I come to accept this fact?

I dont think that this is anything to worry about my type is dark hair and either green or blue eyes and I really like nice bums and arms but I always end up dating cuties with blonde hair so it doesnt really matter.

Im actually quite shocked to hear your husband thinks your breasts are too large I have big breasts and I have never had anyone say to me that they where too big even if breasts werent their thing they still appreciated them. I think that he must find you sexy he married you and if he looks at other women and thinks wow as long as he doesnt do anything about it so what! At the end of the day when he looks at you he loves you you are the woman he married and he has so many connections with you that he doesnt even think of you in terms of type. Anyway you must be his type he married you

Just b/c you're not his type doesn't mean he doesn't find you attractive. Hotness has as much to do with chemistry as anything else.

I wouldn't worry about it. My bf is no where close to my type. I like boys tall and lanky with a kind of nerdy-cute look ... like the characters Hugh Grant plays. Straight londe hair, blue eyes, soccer player bodies.

My bf has curly brown hair, green eyes and was on one of the best varsity crew teams in the country. He has a rower's body - nothing of long and lean.

But you know what? He's completely not my type, but he's gorgeous. I can't look at a picture of him without feeling tingly.

eyeswideopen agony auntHas your husband said to you that you weren't his type or have you just decided it on your own? Sounds like you are just feeling a little low in the self esteem department at the moment. Buck up sweetie he married you because he wanted to be with YOU. He finds you very attractive, relax and enjoy your marriage.

StarNews agony auntYou need to realize that you are beautiful, inside and out, and that beauty comes from within. What I'm saying is don't allow others to make you feel less than what you are. Love yourself and be happy with who you are.

Dont allow your husband to make you feel unattractive, and that you are not good enough for him. Tell yourself that you are the best and most beautiful person to come along in his life, whether he chooses to believe it or not, you are. I would spend less time being concerned about what he thinks of you and more time believing in yourself.

You can't... maybe you should think about why he chose someone who isn't his type.

he loves you and chose you for what's inside. how many women with large breasts complain about men never talking to their faces? He wants YOU.. the actual you, on the inside.

Looks fade with age, But he'll love you for who you are forever.
