Expressing my excitement/thoughts with my partner. Not awful good.

Hey girls,
I have some feelings/thoughts about some stuff regarding my procedure, i would like some advice really, i
dont really like how i am feeling right now.
Ill break it down for you all.
So, i am meeting my surgeon on the 13th july and i am overly excited, i cannot wait, i feel like a lot of you know the feeling!
Me and my partner have been together just short of 5 months now and he knows all too well how i feel about my body, from having anxiety and depression relating to these issues also. and from avoiding some clothing options to not wanting to undress infront of him and being very self conscious during intimacy and at other times. He knows how much it hurts me and affects my life.
He knows about my plan and how bloody excited i am about it, but all i receive from him is negativity. very dull and slim responses. Well a couple days ago, i was really really upset and slightly angry at what he had said to me via a phone call. I dont rant or go on anymore abut it, due to the responses i am getting, i keep it to myself. I had mentioned how i excited i was (sorry i am going on) and he said to me that i am doing it for other people, and i will always have my breasts out and wear low cut tops and dresses etc, and i will be posting more photos via instagram. And then he said, i will not touch your chest anymore after you have had the surgery, even during intimacy or at any other time. I was truly disheartened. I felt so low after this.
I am doing this for myself, and i can wear what i wish, i can post and get back to modelling if i wanted to, i can be positive,confident and proud of myself for finally doing something for myself.
i need some light.
I am doing this, i am going to be happy and bloody proud and i will love myself.

Aww chick I totally feel you here. My boyfriend & I have been together 2 years & this surgery has been on the cards long before he came into my life. I never wanted big boobies or anything like that, I just wanted to be able to actually fit into clothes ya know. I explained this to him so many times & he either went quiet or said there’s only one reason people get a surgery like this & that’s to be attractive to other people (very wrong!!) I started not bringing it up & then with my surgery getting closer I showed him photos of what I was doing and explained again why with little response.

He told me the day after my surgery that he was trying to let me know that he didn’t want me to do it but he never actually said those words & honestly this was for me so I still would have done it.

We had a very rocky couple days & it was hard to tell if we would even pull thru it … It’s not been easy at all

He’s the only person in my life not sharing in my excitement which sucks

On the plus side I love them

Hi lovely!
Without sounding harsh here and I’m sorry if it does but in my opinion if someone isn’t going to support something that means so much to you then are they worth your time. In regards to anything in life not just these boobs. It sounds to me that he doesn’t really understand and sounds very jealous.
You need support at this time not negativity, and if you have suffered with anxiety before is his opinion not going to make this whole experience horrible for you and not as exciting as it should be.
Hope it works out for you xx

Hi, I had the same with my husband about negativity, he is not saying I want them to show the off but he’s mostly angry that I want to take the risks when I’m healthy and that I might get into issues or health problems due to elective surgery… It took literally a year of fights for him to understand that this is important for me, that I live in this body and have to see it everyday without liking it. Maybe my case is a bit different as my boobs were ok but breastfeeding our 2 kids left me with 2 used teabags!

It’s hard but if I were you I would stick to your decision and try to explain him it’s not for him or anyone else, it’s for yourself.

Hi Katie sounds like your man is worried that you might end up with someone other than him after your op, you should talk it through with him but if he can’t support you in this, he may not be the one for you sorry to say that. He needs to sit down & talk about his insecurities & you need to talk about what it would mean for you & that you would love his support if he can’t give it then is there a future for you two its only been 5 month but thats up to you to decide.

Babe I had the exact same problem. My boyfriend never supported me what so ever!!! They are saying these things because they don’t want another man to look at you! I ignored what my boyfriend said and just carried on with the procedure because st the end of the day it’s your body and your life! My surgery is next week and I’m so excited x

Do it for you, it will be the best thing you ever do trust me. I had negativity from friends who thought I’d change after the op and absolutely nothing changed…. Yes I have more options of clothes but I don’t post more or dress differently because I have boobs lol its ridiculous… He will get over it and you will have soooo much more confidence… It’s great

Mm mm I know what I would do, uve been together for 5 months, tell him if he doesn’t support u its over & follow through with the threat & find someone who’ll support u with any decisions u make in the future xxx

Men get jealous, your doing this for YOU! not him not another guy YOU.If all he can think about is you showing them off that’s his problem not yours his insecurities can’t control what you do with your body…Women get confidence with boobs and men panic there’s nothing wrong with keeping them on their toes lol xx

Hi Katie, I’ve added you as a friend so we can talk via privet message.
Look forward to hearing from you xx

This sucks however I know how you feel. Iv been with my husband 9 years and from day one he told me he loved me as I am. He didn’t like fake boobs. Which I don’t think he does but he also secretly thinks it changes people. However this year he finally realised after 9 years, married and 2 kids that I never show them to him and I always cover up. They aren’t even too bad just small. He phoned them to call me and arrange for a consultation. We went together and he’s put the deposit down for September. You need support… sit down and talk to him and tell him how you feel and if he still isn’t nice then do it for yourself and time will tell whether he’s the one. X

I cannot believe how much support I am getting from you angels! Every one of you have made me feel so comfortable and at ease and I thank you all for your kind words. I really do appreciate it all. Its made me feel so accepted and understood.
As for now, things still have not changed, like I said, I am keeping things to myself, at the end of the day, its my body, my mind, my choice.
Thanks again to all of you.
Much love – Katie xx
