Op here. DW is not 38, I never said that.

DW is 28, she’s originally from Colombia. She has family in Mexico and going there was her idea.

We spoke this morning after she calmed down. She’s ok to rebook her ticket. She just tells me she’s mortified of her body, it’s hard to see her this upset over (what seems like) a frivolous issue to an outsider.

She tells me she doesn’t want her family to see or know what she looks like, she’s the youngest of 3 sisters and yes - she’s had her breasts, nose, and lips done. It’s common in her family and social circle to have “work done.” [/quote]

so basically she has no sense of self-worth outside of her looks and its deeply ingrained, given her family and social circle. Growing old is not going to be easy for either of you if she doesn't develop esteem through other things. Instead of telling her she looks 'great' as she is now, how about helping her develop other skills and ways of seeing herself as worthy, accomplished, beautiful that have nothing to do with looks?
