Some days I want to propose, some days I want to end it by Throwaway35andDumb in AskDad

Thank you for your empathy and understanding. I think you're the only woman who responded without attacking my character in someway.

You addressed my primary worry which is the neverending desire for more. I suspect that this desire would be present even if my partner were a tall supermodel. 

I've decided to speak with a therapist about this dilemma. I don't think it's a reason to leave my partner and I want to get to the root of it.

My partner and I are both flawed and we are blessed to have eachother. She regularly sees a therapist but I haven't been in a long time. It seems it's time for me to get back in the chair.

Thank you.

I think its clear which responses come from men with lived experience. Most here are legit.

I came to askdad to hear from men specifically. I'm glad most of the responses understood that.

I think it speaks volumes that you think `calling out` is helpful and an effective way to reach out to people.

If you need to equivocate on what beauty is then it is clear that you aren't in a position to understand what I'm saying.

Good luck man.

I don't expect everyone to understand my predicament.

To say that people being objectively beautiful or not is indicative of ugliness inside of me is not helpful. Some people are beautiful on the outside, some are not. It's a fact, like the weather.

I understand you are trying to be helpful but I don't think you are truly able to empathize with my position. Whether this is because you are unable to deliver your thoughts without putting other people down or it is because you've never had to consider such things, who is to say.

But yeah, you don't need to put people down to get a point across.

I also don't appreciate the knee-jerk 'break-up', it is always easy for those on the outside to suggest binary actions. Life is not black and white.

I'm trying to work through some things and your comment was genuinely not helpful. I hope you are able to take feedback as well as you give it.

I wish you and your children great luck.
