    He actually pulled out his phone to show off another woman at a meeting where he was introducing his girlfriend. This one isn't the one OP. I can assure you the right one around the corner will be mortified when you tell him this story.

    ithilienisforlovers · 15 hr. ago As someone with a prettier sister, this hurts. My husband has never even mentioned how my sister looks — this is really up and honestly I'd break up with him over it for sure.
