My husband wouldn’t take pictures of me on vacation – his reason sparked my revenge

Traveling to Mexico was a dream come true. My husband, my two children, and I having the time of our lives – just the thought of it filled my heart with joy. However, when we arrived, my husband’s behavior made me question his feelings for me. He refused to take any pictures with me, and that caused confusion, and learning the truth broke my heart.

When we arrived in Mexico, I knew we would enjoy ourselves like never before. Days before our trip, I learned that I inherited my uncle’s money and property and planned on telling Luke about it while on vacation.

But suddenly, his constant refusal to take any pictures of me raised a red flag.

Whenever I would ask him to do that, he would say, “Not now Hannah,” or “I’m not in the mood of taking pictures now, maybe later.”

This was strange because taking a pic only took a couple of seconds – time Luke wasn’t willing to spare for me.

This went on and on for days, and then finally, he left his phone on the bed, unlocked, while taking a shower.

Violating his privacy felt like a crime, but I really needed to know if there was a reason for Luke’s behavior.

And then, there it was, a message in the group chat with his buddies.
“Imagine, guys, at her weight, she still wants me to take pictures of her,” he had written. “In what part of the picture would she possibly fit? Since giving birth, she has changed completely.”

Those words shattered my world. I had no idea my husband thought so low of my appearance.

Without giving it a second thought, I took a photo of myself and posted it online with the caption, “Is my appearance so unattractive that even my spouse is reluctant to have me photographed?”

In no time, I received plenty of comments and messages of support.
