I had an ex (long long ago) who initially dated me as I was femme and 'prettier' than her ex-bf's new girlfriend, then began to resent the male attention I got. Rather than being angry at
them, she instead started trying to change the way I looked! (Bear in mind I was 100% out gay through all of this).
I always wondered how she got on in her next relationship, with a girl who was not only femme, tall and thin, but also blessed with model looks.
