Why do some boyfriends criticize the looks of their girlfriends?

That stems from the similar post I’ve made today.

I just remembered that while first 2.5 years of my past relationship were perfect. He was angelic and perfect to me.

The last 1 year my ex became very toxic.

He was generally very obsessed with looks. And very insecure. I always told him compliments and encouraged him, I wanted him to feel like a king,

the more I made him feel like this though, the more he felt entitled to criticize my looks.

He starting telling me some hurtful things about my appearance.
But I was the same as I met him. I looked the same way I looked when he first met me and approached me.

It wasn’t like I let myself go after having a relationship.


He told me I was too short and he was scared our future children would not be able to become basketball players due to my short genes.

He was telling me to sleep more as I looked sleepless in his opinion.

The thing is I have darker under eyes genetically.

He also told me my nose looks too crooked but he also said he doesn’t want to change it because he thought if I would get rhinoplasty I wouldn’t stay with him anymore, cause I would be way too out of his league.

Thinking of this, I can’t believe I didn’t break up with him earlier.

But then he always apologized and acted very sweet.

I got very insecure about my looks and would always answer his calls with my make up on and in the best shape possible.

Meanwhile, he was so insecure when he first met me. He had zero confidence and I made sure to make him feel he really was the best.

At the end of our relationship, before break up he told me something along with these lines

“I am sorry. You have done nothing but support and encourage me. You have built me up and all I did was, ruin you.”

Why was he doing it, if he was realizing what he was doing though?

I am actually so happy that relationship is over.

The last year was a hell with him. I will never ever let anyone treat me that way again.

I mean, why did you chase her hard for such a long time and why did you do all these things to get her, if you didn’t like her in the first place?

If you liked her, then why did her flaws suddenly become a problem now?
