"While Victoria [the photographer] thought the woman [client] looked gorgeous already, the woman asked her to to apply heavy Photoshopping on the images to erase all cellulite, stretch marks, blemishes and wrinkles. Victoria heeded her client’s wishes. “I turned her into the epitome of what every woman dreams of being,” she regretfully says. After Christmas, Victoria received an unexpected email from the woman’s husband — an email that left a lasting impact on the photographer for months to come."

You have to see the photos and the husband's commentary to get the full gist of this post. Enjoy!

This guy should be in the finals for Husband Of The Year Award!

This article called me out and prompted me to reevaluate my relationship with my spouse/partner.

I think it is sad that she requested her photos be Photoshopped and speaks more about our culture of unrealistic expectations.

This is a modern-day O. Henry story and right up there with Gift Of The Magi.

How about an answer choice of, "The husband was looking too much into it."

Perhaps, but I appreciate that she wanted him to have an idealized version of herself (for his apparent benefit), but he preferred the real deal and felt that he hadn't communicated that to her enough.
