If your partner has a sudden glow-up, you might find yourself feeling suddenly insecure. 

When you're in a relationship for a very long time, looks just don't matter as much as they did when you first started dating. You're probably with your partner because you love their personality and you have irresistible chemistry. If you're only together because one or both of you is super hot, that's great and all, but in a decade, you'll look completely different than when you met. 

Sometimes people share their insecurites about their BF or GF losing a lot of weight after hitting the gym. Now that they have a more muscular physique, they can attract someone who's a 10/10, which makes their partner nervous.  Or they'll say they're feeling insecure after having children has changed their body, even though a caring partner won't mind that in the least. Either way, one partner worrying about their looks can cause lots of issues. 

This person shared what happened when his GF suddenly decided to get lip filler injections. She's only 20 years old, which is very young to begin invasive cosmetic procedures! She feels great now, but she's making her BF feel bad in the meantime. 

Up next, this waiter tattled on an acquaintance who didn't tip that well, leading the acquaintance to complain, "He's telling mutual friends I'm cheap."

    Constantly takes pictures and staring into mirrors. Shes completely changed the way she acts w me and isnt all lovey and stuff but more b y. And the thing is, I really dont think they look that good either. Thats why she kind of just throws me off. This behavior is unacceptable for me.

    Tdlr; Girlfriend got lip filler, not the same. Do i end things? Edit #1 & Update: Clearly I did not think this post would blow up like it did, and Ive had so many questions and feel like I need to clarify a lot of things.

    Question #1: Why would she get lip filler at such a young age? Answer: She won it from a giveaway sort of thing. It was fully free and didn't have to pay.

    Question #2: Why do you treat her rudely? Maybe she wouldn't be acting the way she is if you treated her respectfully. Answer: My behavior with her never changed. Shes changed the way she carries herself and even the way she talks to others ( It has gotten better though over the last couple days)

    I respect her decision, I'm not insecure, and told her I was okay with her getting the lip filler if she wanted to. I honestly don't like how it looks, and with her behavior being constantly centered around her lips it has gotten annoying. For example;

    We're on ft having a conversation, shes looking at her lips the whole time. Anytime we walk passed a mirror shes gonna stop and make a bunch of faces in it for a couple minutes

    It's just frustrating behavior. We've been together for 2 years and have had a great relationship and honestly I don't want end things over lip filler, so Im just looking for more advice.

    Commenters had both jokes and serious advice

    aolvictim You should get lip filler too to show her who's the real deal.

    VillainousValeriana Have you told her you noticed a change her behavior and that it's turning you off? Its not acceptable and you absolutely don't have to put up with it, but sometimes people are so wrapped up in themselves. that they need someone else to give them a reality check

    FedAvenger there's a chance she thought this would solve. everything and now is really unhappy with everything. Like since this lip thing didn't fix it, maybe it's because her nose doesn't match anymore.

    Most people focused on the impolite way the GF started acting

    meekonesfade The lip filler is irrelevant. If you dont like her behavior, talk to her about it. She will either change ir you will break up

    Begginning She grew a head. Maybe it's temporary, maybe it's her real personality and she was only with you because she was insecure, classic story My girlfriend does something similar to this, just in a good way. Every- time we would go out and she'd get dressed up, hair and make up done, she was a new person.

    She was acting all extra, confident and sassy. Her actual feelings or demeanor didn't change, it was simply her confidence levels. Although, I did notice she was more "bitchy" too, but in a way where she'd not hide her feelings and rather she would verbalise them (confident). I actually respected her more because I got away with small dumb things

    when she wasn't in this mood. Her affliction also changed, the way she spoke. It wasn't forced it was natural, she had a gentler, more confident and grounded voice and attitude. I think people reveal their true colours once they get out of a state of insecurity. It's a good measure to see who someone is, if they're

    acting or using someone out of need or if they're genuinely into you. Great test of character is giving someone power or making them think they're above you

    TheGreatCactuss Implying that your girlfriend could not be or feel like a super model bad b but calling her "bl "which is just a wind down way of calling her a b makes you look like a man who doesn't like when women are too confident.

    In my opinion if you imply that your girlfriend is acting like a b you probably already resent her more than you think you do. I think it's better for the both of you to break up. Or maybe try to talk and work it out but you will unlikely get to the root of the problem.
