Just when you thought Reality TV couldn’t sink any lower, the FX channel sets a new bar for trashy programming. This month, the network has premiered a new reality show throughout Great Britain called “Pimp Up My Wife.”
The show will take 10 wives whose husbands are unhappy with their appearance and give them a complete aesthetic makeover. These women will undergo hair and style makeovers and receive numerous cosmetic surgery procedures including tummy tucks, breast augmentation, liposuction, and facial procedures. The network is promoting their new show as a way for 10 couples to improve their sex lives and potentially save a failing marriage.
One husband on the show has openly admitted that for over two years, he has been embarrassed to be seen in public with his wife. He is hoping that the show will “stop the rot and bring back the woman I fell in love with.”
If you believe that “Pimp Up My Wife” will rekindle the flames of your marriage and bring back passion that has been long dead, think again. How can a man who publicly discusses his loathing of his wife’s appearance expect to keep her around once she finds that everywhere she goes, men are finding her more attractive than ever? My guess is that at least 50% of the couples on this show will be divorced within a year, and it will be the wife that leaves the husband.
Cosmetic surgery can be an excellent way for a woman to boost her self-esteem and enhance a region of her body that she is unhappy with. However, the decision to get cosmetic surgery should stem from the woman’s desire to feel better about herself, not because her husband is repulsed by her. If this is your situation, you are most likely married to the wrong man.
