Would you still love your partner?

i've often told my wife she would improve her looks if she had a serious accident but she cries and she looks even worse when she cries. so i don't say it anymore. i guess that shows i am in touch with her inner feelings. she is lucky to have such a caring guy...which i have to keep reminding her.

me i would stay by my partners side no matter what the damage is done by any accident i dont care for looks as long as she will still be the same and love me

Sounds like most responders have some very romantic notions indeed. If my spouse had such an accident my life would become hell. Looking at his disfigured features would be so very painful and I would feel his pain. His self esteem and ego would take a nose dive and he would most likely be depressed. He would need lots of care, maybe surgeries, definitely rehabilitation. He would probably not want me around to witness his failures and depression. He is likely to resent me as well. His needs would put a strain on our finances and our relationship. In spite of all my good intentions, things would be very difficult to deal with. If I was the disfigured one I would be pushing my husband away, believing that my appearance would put him right off. The affection would disappear as I would not want to be kissed or even looked at. The depths of my despair would be endless.

Yes, most definitely would I still love my husband. I love him now and forever for who he his, not what he looks like. Looks are not everything. It's who the person is on the inside that truly matters and that is what will make you happy. If my husband had an accident that disfigured his face, that would not change who he is on the inside, so why would I be ignorant to leave him for that. But you are right, many people say looks don't matter, but when it came down to it, they do matter to a lot of people. It's truly sad, but that is the world we live in.

yes, i would still love my partner - in my case, my wife. physical beauty, as what you are implying, is only skin deep. no accident, skin surgery, or even old age can compare to the beauty that is inside. I made a vow to God and my wife that i would love her no matter what, and that includes accidents, sickness, etc. and i will honor that vow til the day i die.

My feelings will never change. Love does not only focus on the physical aspect of the person. I was inspired by the story of former american idol finalist who after her girlfriend suffer from fatal accident, still he manage to stay at her girlfriend's side and take care of her.

I would stay. They are the person I fell in love with, and it would not matter. I sure hope those people that say they would, never have anything happen to them, that their partners have to make the same choice.

With me, I love the person and not the looks. Whilst the looks may be what first attracted me to the person, after a while, the personality would take over and become more attractive. A disfigured face is just on the surface, in my opinion, it is what the person is like within that makes the difference. People get old and lose their looks, but they don't necessarily start splitting up because of that. _Derek

Time has already disfigured both our faces, but neither of us has made plans to leave.

You're right, there are many people that would leave their partner if he/she was disfigured. I am not one of those people thought. I married my husband because I love him and will continue to love him no matter what. I married him to spend the rest of my life with him, and that is what I will do. It is sad, in my opinion, just how many superficial people there really are in the world.

Though my husband hasn't been involved in any kind of event that has disfigured his face, he has had to undergo several surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation that have left him disfigured in some ways and I wouldn't consider leaving him because of those things. I still love my husband very much and the only thing that would make me consider leaving him would be if he is not able to get his dependence on narcotic pain killers under control. That has been a problem because of his illness, but it continues to be a problem and that really does bother me.

why not ? just think , same thing happens to u and what would u aspect from your partner? and moreover u are not talking about a business partner but a life partner and this partnership is tied with heart not with face,which never disfigure as it is stored at most safest place of your body,covered by strongest sheet of metal called "love".

I've been married for 28 years. If anything were to happen to him, I would consider it happening to me too, and vice-verse. I know his soul. I know his heart. I know he's "in it to win it". It isn't a sprint race, it's a marathon. Youth knows passion from a beginners point of view. Experience knows passion as something much deeper. I've known women all my life who are "in it for the money". They will actually leave for greener pastures sometimes using faith as a cover! While they have their money I have my soul mate (something money can't buy).

I still love him ,no matter what happens.He is my partner forever so theres no reason why i love him at first then no more at the end....I will always love him.

If I were on that situation,i'll stick to my partner,i won't leave her no matter what..i'm not after her pretty face,I love her because of her inner beauty..So i don't care if the accident will disfigure her face,the important is i will still love her and that is true love.

Hello Darren, I will still love my partner if she looses her beauty in an accident as i love my wife for her behaviour not much for her physical beauty and no accident can damage her soul.Yes there are people who are just behind the physical beauty of their partner but they do understand when it happens with themselves.

When you love and commit to someone you love them inside and out. You don't love them just for their looks.. that's shallow. Yes, I would stay if something like that happened. The only way I wouldn't stay was if he were cheating on me or abusing me.

i think if you love someone it should not matter if they all of a sudden look different or have a problem within the brain if people leave over that chances are they never really did love them at all

Yes I would, if I love him enough nothing should get in our way of the love we have between us. There is no guarantee in life that out facial features will ever remain the way they are, so if you marry some one make sure they have other features about their personality rather than rely on how they look. You won't beleive how so many people think that looks always should stay the same, etc. Its just so narrowminded and superficial.

Yes! Of course! I love a man for who they are.
