6 Subtle Ways to Make Your Wife Feel Ugly Without Saying a Word

You may believe your wife is the most stunning woman alive, but there are a few common things even the best men do that can leave the woman they love feeling unattractive.

Men, this article is not to shame you—it’s to help you steer clear of these things.

1. Fail to compliment her efforts

You are the one person on earth whose opinion she values most. She needs to know you think she’s stunning both during the times she makes extra effort (i.e., takes a shower rather than just using dry shampoo), and the days she’s sick in bed.

If you’re not noticing out loud how beautiful she is, she’s likely interpreting your silence as disapproval.

2. Praise another woman with words you’ve never used for your wife

If you are referring to a woman as drop dead gorgeous, and you’ve never used such powerful descriptions to describe your wife, it’s devastating to her.

She knows you find other women attractive, and for the most part, she’s OK with that. But when you emphatically compliment another woman, your wife feels like you are comparing her to that woman and she’s the one not measuring up. Your comments may be innocent, but it’s a dagger in your wife’s heart.

3. Look at pornography

Nothing will make your wife feel more despairingly inadequate than you looking at pornography. A study by Fight the New Drug showed that after men were exposed to pornography, they rated themselves as less in love with their partner, and were more critical of their partner’s appearance, sexual performance and displays of affection.

There is never room for this in a marriage.

This is a neon sign to your wife telling her she is not good enough. As time goes by and you continue to look at pornography, you’ll come to believe that about her as well.

4. Not initiating a hug or kiss

Withholding physical affection except when you want to be intimate makes her feel used and undesirable.

Try kissing your wife on the forehead one evening and telling her you love her. If you do this just because you love her, with no expectation of having sex after, she’ll feel beautiful and adored.

5. Do a double take when another woman walks by

We know you’re wired to notice and appreciate beauty, but please learn not to gawk.
