Why have I started to notice flaws in my partners appearance?

Anonymous
I've been with my girlfriend since 2018. Recently i can't stop myself from finding flaws in her appearance. When i look her in her eyes i focus on the wrinkles around them. When she is getting changed or in a swimsuit i notice the cellulite on her legs.

These aren't new features either from age. She had them when we met but i haven't noticed or focused on them until now. I can't get them out of my head.

I'm aware this makes me look so shallow and obviously i would never tell her about them. I'm just wondering if there is a psychological reason why i would start doing this.
