He makes me feel sick

I have been with my partner for around 8 months, we got together pretty soon after my last relationship broke up so maybe I was on the rebound so to speak.

Anyway things were great at first, he's funny, generous etc but recently I'm finding him very unnattractive, he's overweight, has a big pot belly (that looks very unmanly) stretch marks on his stomach and back, he walks quite camp and he has a tooth missing, well it was actually broken off years ago and where the stub is still there it's all black and manky looking. So he has this gap in his teeth, green eyes and ginger hair and because of the ginger hair he has very light eye brows and lashes making his eyes appear quite "large"...lately I noticed that he looks a little bit like the crazy frog. (googly green eyes, pot belly and tooth missing!).

I know it sounds quite mean to talk about someone like this and I know I'm no oil painting but its really effecting how I feel about him, everytime he pulls a daft face or tries to have a laugh I can't help staring at him and thinking about how ugly he is. .

Maybe I'm just looking for excuses to finish with him as I wasnt really ready for another relationship?

In other ways he's ok, very clumsy and dopey though which irritates me, he's always breaking my things accidently, he's clumsy with his words too, always embarrases me when we're out.

amazes me when people describe others only in physical terms - very shallow.

sandyballs · 20/11/2006 12:59

Best to call it a day me thinks

fitch · 20/11/2006 13:02

he speaks very highly of you though.

mumblechum · 20/11/2006 13:05

I agree with the above. IMO, love is blind.

expatinscotland · 20/11/2006 13:09

if funny, generous, etc doesn't appeal to you, please do this man a favour and leave him to go find someone for whom it does.

WigWamBam · 20/11/2006 13:15

I think you're the one with the problem, actually. Have you ever heard the saying that beauty is only skin deep? Doesn't the kind, funny person he is inside matter to you at all?

Leave him to find someone who will appreciate him for who he is, not slag him off because he has ginger hair and a wonky tooth.

His singing is terrible and he always squints his eyes together when he sings, it makes me so cross I feel like hitting him.

He doesnt look after himself either, always stinks and he doesnt brush his manky teeth before he goes to bed.

Finish the relationship nice, but spare his feelings and don't tell him all this stuff.

He deserves someone who will care for him and love him for who he is.

Well assuming he is 'true' rather than a figment of a fertile imagination he sounds most unlovely.

..and I do think looks and personal grooming play a part in a relationship, quite validly actually. They are of subsidiary important but of some importance nevertheless.

WigWamBam · 20/11/2006 14:39

Presumably, though, she could see what he looked like before she started the relationship, hmc ... and she could probably smell him as well, if his personal hygiene is as bad as she says. She can't have found him that unattractive if they've been together for 8 months ...

Saturn74 · 20/11/2006 14:40

You sound like the perfect couple.

TheHighwayCod · 20/11/2006 14:41

is he a cat?
ginger fur and bad teeth?

nutcracker · 20/11/2006 14:42

I think you are all being a bit harsh. I never ever fancied xp at all and even less so after 10 years together.
In the beginning all of his other qualities (yeah he did have some) were what attracted me but once they had gone too then him appearing ugly to me was even worse than before.
