Tired of people thinking I’m a man

I was born a woman. but due to high cheekbones and a long face (think Gisele bundchen) a lot of the kids at school ask me if I have kids or they say “ yes sir” when I take the register and snigger . I have small eyes and always wished for a round face and big wide set eyes.
I have long dark hair and a light olive complexion. It doesn’t help my voice is quite deep for a woman. I have curvy hips .
I would want to act or dress like a man.
I don’t dress preppy and I don’t do my nails as then I can’t use my phone properly .
my husband says from the back I look like a man and I don’t know why he’s with me. I also don’t find him that attractive.
my ex was a man but with somewhat feminine features ( small jaw )

Kids will be kids. They will find something to pick at if they want to. We followed a poor guy around sniggering because he had a mustard jumper.

Your relationship is a bit different- looking athletic from the back is not a bad thing. People with your build always look younger to me, because they look fitter.

Don't get trapped into worrying about what you look like, think about your relationship and how to make it better. You don't need to wonder by he's with you, that's his problem. Think about how to make yourself happier.
