What has become of that woman?

This couple fell in love in college and by 2024 had been together for over two decades.

Recently, two photos taken 11 years apart have been shared on social media, showing the transformation of a couple. They started dating at age 19, and by age 31, they were married with two young children. However, what caught the attention of netizens, sparking discussion and even debate, was the appearance of the woman in the photos.

Many people were captivated by the family's photos after a decade.

While the man hadn't changed much, and even looked somewhat younger, his wife appeared older, as if she had passed middle age. Her clothing, hairstyle, and skin all showed the marks of time.

Below the post, netizens enthusiastically commented, dividing into opposing camps. Many opinions suggested that a woman's "declining appearance" in marriage indicates she is having an unhappy life, is struggling too much, and that her husband is not sharing household chores.

Furthermore, her appearance also shows that the wife is neglecting herself. Many women, after getting married, having children, and also having their own careers, are so busy that they don't even have time to "look at themselves in the mirror."

"You can tell how a man treats a woman just by looking at her," "From girlfriend to boyfriend's mother," "The point is, if a husband takes good care of his wife, she'll look more beautiful. But if he doesn't take care of her and is indifferent, she'll look very haggard raising two children alone"... these are some of the comments from netizens.

Besides that, many people are skeptical, saying that the photo from when she was 19 shows a couple, while the photo from when she was 31 shows her mother, daughter, and two grandchildren. One netizen wondered: "The first photo is with his wife, the second is definitely with his mother, how could he age so quickly?"

They both got married at age 26, after 7 years of dating.

In fact, the two photos above are actually of a couple born in 1983 from Guangzhou, China. They shared their love story and the changes they've undergone over two decades of dating and living together on Xiaohongshu – a popular social media platform in China – last September, and the photos quickly went viral due to their striking differences and contrasting appearances.

This account, named “Kid & Rosansa,” currently has over 1,300 followers. Here, the couple primarily posts comparison photos of each other's transformations over the years, marriage tips, and more.

These photos were taken when they were both 31-32 years old. At this time, the wife had just given birth to their second child and had gained weight.

At 40, the wife looks much younger after successfully losing weight and taking better care of her appearance.

Accordingly, the woman stated that both of them, upon looking at the aforementioned photos, clearly see the difference in their appearances. When walking on the street, many people mistake the couple for sisters or mother and daughter. However, she doesn't feel sad about this because, in reality, her husband loves and cares for her very much.

Even at the time of the marriage, her own mother objected because her son-in-law was too handsome, believing he was only using and intending to deceive her daughter: "The two of you are not a good match in appearance." However, she eventually agreed because she saw how determined her daughter was, and now her mother has to admit that she was wrong. Her son-in-law is not only handsome but also has a wonderful character.

“I met him on my first day at university and was completely captivated by his looks. Later, thanks to a close friend, I got his phone number. We constantly texted and chatted. Then we dated for seven years before getting married, after graduating, starting jobs, and earning money.”

"Initially, my mother objected, saying, 'What good is being handsome? Even after you have children and you get old, he won't pay attention to you anymore.' But eventually, she was moved by our sincere feelings ," the mother of two recalled and shared.

They are still as passionately in love as they were when they first started dating.

She said that in over two decades of being together, including 15 years living together and having two children, her husband's love for her has never changed.

Responding to comments suggesting the man married for money, the woman stated frankly: "I lost my job at 38. I stayed home and was supported by my husband. He even willingly cooked meals every day. After 15 years of marriage, he has always been the one responsible for teaching and driving the children to school."

For his part, he said that appearance is just a plus point, not everything.

In his eyes, his wife was a woman of character and deserved to be loved.

However, because of the numerous negative comments about his wife's appearance, and her declining health after giving birth to their second child at the age of 30, he enrolled her in a gym program to lose weight and improve her looks.

The wife changed her diet and combined it with exercise , including gym workouts and running.

Now, at 41, the wife looks younger, her face is slimmer, and her skin is brighter and smoother. She has also changed her hairstyle and fashion style to "match her husband." The woman further confided: "Now that my children are in middle school, and I don't work anymore, I have more time at home to take care of myself than before. My husband and I also often spend time traveling and enjoying life. You see, I look younger than before. But it's not because of any hardship; it's because my husband is naturally handsome. It's called having good genes."

"And I also want to advise everyone, don't think badly of handsome guys. Trust your own choices. To see if they truly love you, look at their actions, how they serve you food during meals, how they take care of you when you're sick, etc.," she added.

Currently, the couple lives happily with their two children in Guangzhou, China.
