Finding out that your own husband doesn’t find you attractive is a devastating and heartbreaking reality to be faced with.

One woman took to Reddit to share her story after accidentally eavesdropping on a terrible conversation between her husband and his friends.

Although she acknowledges that she isn’t an objectively attractive woman, hearing that her husband also thinks of her as “ugly” seemingly broke her heart.

She explained that she met her husband prior and totally hit it off with him at the time.

Everything changed suddenly when she overheard her husband having such a cruel chat with his high school buddies.

While he defended her in some areas of the conversation, he also agreed that she isn’t a very attractive woman. Read her story for yourself below:

Fortunately, the woman who posted the heart-wrenching story on Reddit received an abundance of positive responses from people who empathetically feel for her.

One user named @LemonSqueezers wrote, “I can’t imagine how painful that was to hear. I would be so upset… There are honestly so many times a day I look at myself in the mirror and have no friken clue how my boyfriend dates me because he is soooo good looking… And unless I’m under a sheet of makeup I don’t feel pretty.”

A user with a deleted account wrote, “He could just be saying that though – he might think OP is beautiful however his friends don’t see that. They tease him and he’s probably over it.”

@Phantoom chimed in saying, “Seriously. I know hearing this must have hurt, but a lot of women would KILL for a guy that stood up for them like this. It actually sounds like your husband puts the correct amount of emphasis on looks, and YOU are focusing too much on them. You’ve got a keeper on your hands.”

Based on what can be found on Reddit today, it seems the couple is still married and making it work.
