Is it normal that i hate that my boyfriend is a plastic surgeon?

Go cry somewhere else, some of us work minimum wage jobs and you're crying cause your bf is not a REAL doctor... Fuck!

It's his profession and you hating it will probably cause problems. I understand how you see it as tacky but I would think after seeing so many bodies he probably doesn't even think a out it in a sexual manor. Also plastic surgeons do more then make fake tits and give someone a new face. Some times it completely changes someone's life. Hopefully for the better. Including children and victims or accidents or something that left someone disfigured in some way. It's not something you should feel embarrassed of. Specially if he enjoys his job. You should support him instead.

I wanna know what YOU do for a job????

Plastic surgery is one of the hardest and most competitive specialities out there, and it takes a long, long time and a lot of work to become one, and they still have to study even after they've done their medical recidency. Not to mention, every time someone goes under the knife their life is at risk. With all this in kind, how can you be embarrassed that he's a plastic surgeon?

Wow...break up with him now before he has to introduce you to his colleagues at hospital functions. They would look down on him having such an immature, tactless twit for a girlfriend. Seriously, he needs someone a lot better than you. Go find yourself an emotionally stunted slacker, unemployed pothead, or mama's boy. More your class.

Shit, I'll take him and you can have my unemployed boyfriend.

What about people who need reconstructive surgery after a bad accident? Isn't he helping them in the same way any doctor would?

I'm an artist. I had a bf that felt weird about me seeing and drawing naked people every week. Your bf probably works on men and women of all ages (they can get old) you shouldn't be intimidated.

And all doctors have seen ladies without clothes.

Most of it is cosmetic, ok. But he probably has made a difference to someone that needed it. And he does have the basic skills of a doctor. Even dentists have the basic skills of a doctor. Be proud of him. Support his work. He wouldn't want to date someone that doesn't respect him.

I think you might be intimidated your bf. You might be looking for faults in this "great guy"

Someone is jealous.

You should ignore the bad comments, I understand that this is something that bothers you or you wouldn't be talking about it. I think you should talk to him about it and tell him exactly what you feel, just like you did here, Its okay for you to think these things, and to be jealous, but you should tell him, and I am sure he is mature enough to make you feel better and more secure about the situation. I also think that you do have doctor confused with plastic surgeon. If someone has a doctorate degree (it could even be in education) that means that they are a doctor. Just a different doctor. In his case he is not a medical doctor, he is a doctor of plastic surgery of what you must appreciate how hard he had to work for that and that I am sure he spent a really long time thinking about what he wanted to do, like my little sister has her heart set on being a plastic surgeon cause there is nothing wrong with wanting to help people feel more attractive about themselves. Look at it in their shoes, they really appreciate that he is helping them become more attractive and he likes to help them, and make a lot of money. I am sure that your man isnt just looking at them as sexual objects and if he was then it would only be to a small degree cause he is professional, that is only your belief that he does and that is an insecurity of yours, you are judging him too much, make sense?

sounds to me that you are jealous of him seeing other women naked

I could c a jealousy issue arising if it were me..but as long as he treats u good and otherwise ur relationship is good then u should b ok..have u talked 2 him about this??

Yah I agree with u about him looking at boobs and stuff that sucks but everything else u should be happy about !!

I'd just feel insecure of him staring at girl's boobs/butt/ whatever.

But not everyone has plastic surgery to make themselves "look nicer". There are ones where if someone was in a horrible accident, and half their face was disfigured. Or if they were born without something.

My son needed a plastic surgeon after 3 "doctors" couldn't fix what was wrong. It took a plastic surgeon to remove this huge and reoccurring cyst., that the regular surgeons could not accomplish. I guess 4 times a charm.

I think you need to reevaluate your priorities.

The thing to remember about plastic surgery is that it's not ALL about letting the rich be prettier...

It's also about helping people recover from accidents where they would like to minimize scars - or even go out in public without being embarrassed or feeling bad.

A lot of plastic surgeons actually do FREE work for patients who have been in horrible accidents.

So before you judge them for "cosmetics" remember that they are also helping many people who want nothing more than the ability to walk down a street without being stared at.

agreed with smile, cause my family is full of doctors...
you should actually be proud of it. people get jealous, when they hear that! it's a very respected profession!

Well a lot of women see plastic surgeons to get their yoo-hoos fixed after having a baby so just imagine all of those vaginas he has his fingers in, all day, every day.

Sounds like you need to get over your insecurities before you screw it up. You should be proud of his success. The things you are complaining about aren't related to his actual behaviors but rather your views of his profession (skewed by your own fears).

well you could break up with him if you are truly that shallow.

Actually a lot of plastic surgeons prefer natural beauty. He probably gets sick of knowing what's underneath all that mehh

dont say doctor say surgeon there's more cachet in that, reconstructive surgeon
