AN angry woman stood up for herself after her boyfriend insulted her appearance.
She got her revenge after he repeatedly put her down during their travels.
Redditor Anonomonomoly shared her relationship problems in a viral post.
She explained that she had been excited to travel to Florida with her boyfriend — that is until the insults started rolling in.
“Throughout the trip, he kept comparing me to other women,” she said.
“Let’s be honest, women in Miami often look like they just stepped off a magazine cover.”
“Now, I don’t wear a lot of makeup, and I’m comfortable with my natural look.
“I believe in embracing authenticity and loving myself as I am. However, my boyfriend seemed infatuated with these women who looked like models.
“He couldn’t stop mentioning how much better I’d look if I put in more effort like this girl right here or that girl over there, which made me feel inadequate and insecure.
“Hearing your boyfriend of 3 years say, ‘You’d be more attractive if you looked like her.’ Doesn’t make a woman feel good at all.”

At first, she tried not to let the comments get under her skin.
Her boyfriend, however, wouldn’t let up.

“The tipping point came when we were at a restaurant, and he started telling me about how much better I’d look if I wore some more makeup and maybe showed a bit more skin,” she said.
She decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.
“I decided to switch up the scenario and told him that if I’m expected to look better, then he needs to lose some weight and maybe work on getting ahead of his hereditary male pattern baldness, courtesy of his father,” she said.
“After this, he had a loud outburst, essentially berating me for not looking as attractive as the women around us.
I refuse to be with someone who values superficial appearances over genuine connection and respect.

“I was crushed. Here I was, trying to enjoy a vacation with someone I cared about, only to be publicly humiliated for not fitting some superficial standard of beauty.”
She decided to exact her revenge, as she had paid for not only the hotel room but also their plane tickets.
“Feeling hurt, disrespected, and utterly fed up, I made the decision to cancel his flight and flew back to California alone,” she said.
“I refuse to be with someone who values superficial appearances over genuine connection and respect.”
The move angered her boyfriend’s parents, who urged her to take pity on him.
“Now, his family is pressuring me to pay for his accommodations and flight back home because he has no money,” she said.
“They seem to think I owe him something for his outburst, but I can’t shake the feeling that I made the right decision for my own well-being.”
People told her to stick to her guns.
“The dude can dish it out but can’t take it. The manchild is not your problem,” said one commenter.

“Maybe a modelesque girl in Miami with lots of makeup on can pay for his hotel and flight. Also, tell him good luck,” said another.
“Serves him right. If his family is so concerned, let them pay for a flight or send him some money,” said a third.
