took a second job to pay for plastic surgery? Their normal contributions to the household budget would otherwise remain unchanged,your lifestyle wouldn't suffer.

I guess not. If they thought having plastic surgery were more important than spending time with me then I guess that's their decision.

If it is to enhance, not too extreme, that's up to them. If there is no harm done, it does not interfere with work, home, time with SO. If it makes them happy, I see no harm in it.

Depends. If it's for re constructive surgery after an accident, no problem at all. If it's for elective enhancement, well, I can't speak for every guy but it would seem a bit over the top to me.

If it makes my SO feel better, then fine, but I draw the line if it's excessive and obviously fake. I'd rather have a natural 6/10 then a fake 10/10 wannabe.

I don't mean to imply anything here, but keep it as natural as possible if your going to ahead with it IMO. It IS your body.

I wouldnt want her to at all, but if it really truly made her happy then I would support her.

I would take lack of support as a de facto vote against the surgery.

I take the partnership of marriage to mean that decisions, even decisions reagarding one's own body, must be mutually made.

Of course each situation and relationship is unique. Second marriages between adults with their own individual and seperate histories are probably different than mine in which we have essentially grown up together and are irrevicably intertwined.

Wouldn't bother me at all. I'd probably want to try and work out some budget with her so she wouldn't have to work two jobs to get it though.

I think that's the key. I don't mind obvious things...mole removal, breast reduction, etc. I become very upset by other major alterations though (lifts, tucks, implants, etc). Not saying it would end the relationship, though I think it unlikely that I would enter a relationship with someone likely to do such things in the first place.

I wouldn't mind at all...I love my wife and I want her to be as content with herself as possible. I'd rather my wife not work extra just to pay for surgery.

Getting a boob job or something is really not much different that getting braces in some cases.

How could your lifestyle not suffer? The second job would occupy time that the two of you might otherwise be together.



Why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that she is the one who wants the second job & the surgery?

Umm, if it's cosmetic surgery, I'd dump ?her? because if she has self image problems, there are even deeper issues somewhere.

People frequently do take second jobs to further their goals or just to get things they want though.I know a lot of people who work a lot!

No, I wouldn't allow my SO to take a second job, I'd find a way to pay for it and get her several weeks to recover. The vow I took was "for better or for worse, in sickness and in health". Being a man I will keep that promise.
I understand there are lessor beings that feel the vow really means "until it's uncomfortable or I'm unhappy", those creatures are beneath contempt.

btw, before the flames start, yeah, it's a real raw nerve with me.

IMO, it's a complete waste of money unless it's a career-enhancing investment..

For example, fake boobs for an accountant = bad investment; fake boobs for a stripper = good investment.

Are you a stripper or an accountant? :p
