Please don't take this the wrong way- but what has society done to women? YOU are a beautiful woman. (And if your husband is the dark-haired guy in the photo on the right of your profile...HE should be doubting his ability to attract YOU.)
Not trying to slam him...just pointing out the reality of your situation. If he is making you feel bad- tell him and give him the chance to make you feel treasured.
Bha ha ha !!! Thank you, for clearing that up. I thought..."Whew!"
I saw a pic of you and your husband. Cute.
However, if my husband was viewing porn, my self esteem would be zero too. Especially, after what he bluntly told you about being with a blonde. Gee- whiz!
Yeah, my dad is definitely not the problem. He likes me just the way I am.
You're not pathetic! We all have insecurities. It seems that your husband does a great job of telling you how he feels on this subject so you should be able to openly and freely tell him how you're feeling. Are you sure he's just now started looking at porn? Since you guys were friends first you must know him really well - well enough to know if he has a wandering eye in real life.
You are very pretty, by the way! You probably get told that pretty often.
I am a little nervous about posting this on here b/c I post here a lot, but here is goes. My husband and I were good friends for two years before we starting dating. I liked him for a long time, but he made it clear to me that he wasn't physically attracted to me. Another thing is that he would always say that he personally wasn't attracted to blondes. I am blonde. One day he showed up at my door with flowers and told me he was in love with me. When I asked him about the attraction thing he said that my intelligence, kindness, etc. had made me attractive in his eyes even though he hadn't seen me that way at the start. I accepted this, although it would have been nice if he had thought I was attractive from the start. He always makes comments about how he never saw himself married to a blonde. Now he has started looking at porn, which is normally ok, but I looked at what he is downloading and all the women have dark skin and dark hair and look nothing like me. This brings out all these crazy insecurities in me that I didn't know I had. I said something to him about how he sure had a lot of brunettes there and he said he hadn't noticed. I am embarassed to ask about this but am I being totally pathetic and insecure here?
You are a beautiful woman and it's a shame your husband has even said such things to you. Once asked you to marry him, his "preference" for hair color should have become a mute point as he is supposed to love YOU not your hair color.
I don't agree with dying your hair. He knew what he signed up for and don't change yourself so drastically to satisfy his preference. Is he going to turn into Brad Pitt?
My husband and I are different races and he has mentioned to me a couple of times his preference for women with big a**. Well, it's not gonna happen here. It's not in my genetics. He has his porn preference and it's usually women of color with big you know whats. It was the source of many fights in the beginning.
Then one day I asked myself, why do I have to feel inadequate? He is the one with the issue and if he can't appreciate what he has then to h*ll with him! I told him if he was not happy with me, he was perfectly welcome to go and find someone else. I know I can find someone who appreciates me. Well he got the message and stopped making those comments and looking at porn (at least it's not in our home).
You are not being pathetic...HE IS! Tell him how it makes you feel and if doesn't stop then start pointing out his shortcomings.....let's see how he likes that. I wish you luck! You are beautiful and don't let any man make you think anything less of yourself!

Imho, your husband should be Thanking God, that he has You beside him as his Wife, your love & devotion. Your Beautiful...
I don't know what his problema is. But, he should work at getting his act together...
Oh, I'm so sorry you're going through this. His viewing porn, of women that you know are his "type", but look nothing like you, is bound to make you feel terrible and insecure.
Don't let him do that to you. You are a very beautiful woman, and it is a shame that he is making you doubt yourself, and your relationship.
It may be hard, but I think you need to tell him how you feel when he is watching porn, and see what he says. I hope for your sake he will understand how terrible it makes you feel, and stop, but if he has a porn addiction, he'll prob. continue, but more carefully. Hang in there!
