JANA HOCKING: This is the unlikely sign that means your relationship is about to end – and even doctors agree with me

Breasts. We all have them. But oh, how these two hills on our chest have caused drama over the centuries.

For me, one of those dramas happened last week. You know, in a moment of weakness I went to a cosmetic surgeon for a consultation about breast enlargement.

Despite being blessed with C-Cup (occasionally D-Cup when I’ve enjoyed too many cheeseburgers), I wanted an expert’s opinion on whether they could sit a little higher, and perhaps maintain a consistent D-Cup despite my yo-yo weight.

I have to admit that I don’t mind those old breasts in a bra, but as soon as I lie flat on my bed they turn into pancakes. I’ve mentioned before that my man of the moment once stopped me during a nudie rudie session to tell me to stop holding my boobs up (cringe!) Seriously, I’m so worried about it.

Blame it on porn, where all women’s breasts seem to be erect no matter the angle. Blame it on Insta, where every influencer’s tatas are in gravity-defying bikinis. Blame it on the lame guy who made fun of me by saying my boobs looked saggy.

I’m ashamed to say that all these things added up, and so I found myself in a surgeon’s office, shouting into my top, ‘Help me, doctor!’.

Bless his cotton socks, he took one look at them and told me I was ridiculous and quickly put my concerns to bed.

However, he did share some very interesting information with me that left me shocked. He revealed that almost half of his married patients who get their breasts done leave their husbands within about a year.

His theory, and now mine, is that women come to him feeling grumpy, saggy, and unsexy, like they’ve lost their spark. They want their breasts to stay where they did pre-kids. They want to feel attractive again.

He said they are usually overlooked by husbands who once longed for them. Most complain that they are now seen as mothers and cleaners. Grim, grim, grim.

“I see many of them who are about to leave their husbands,” said one surgeon

I contacted another surgeon to clarify that this really happens and yes, he confirmed it.

‘I see women in consultations who have reached their lowest point. They want to feel wanted again. They want curves and a feminine figure. They come back a month after the operation and I look at a completely different person,” said the surgeon, who wished to remain anonymous.

‘They have their zest for life back. They feel sexy and alive. Yes, I see many of them who are about to leave their spouses. Many of my patients also get breast enlargement after divorce. They’re getting ready to start dating again and want to feel confident and sexy.”

Veronica Lamarche, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex, recently spoke about why married women chose to get breast implants, saying: ‘They might seek changes they can easily control, such as appearance.’

‘When people are rejected, they are motivated to fit in with others, for example to become more attractive – we like positive enforcement. If change makes an ex-partner jealous, it can soften the rejection; if it opens up sexual opportunities with others, that can be valid,” she added.

“Another friend has been secretly fucking her boss since she got a boob job,” Jana said

When they talked about it with married friends this week, none of them were surprised. One friend admitted that she has hardly had sex with her husband since the children arrived. Not because of a lack of commitment to her. She said he simply stopped viewing her as a sexual partner and more as a roommate.

Another friend has been secretly fucking her boss since she got a boob job.

‘After a two-week break I walked back into the office to get my boobs done and it was like I was a whole new person. The boss treated me differently. In fact, men started noticing me in general,” she told me.

Her husband didn’t care about her new breast, but other men did. Suddenly she felt desirable again. Men wanted her, and to her surprise, she immediately wanted them back.

One of my divorced male friends has told me no fewer than three times about the time he paid for his (now ex) wife’s boob job, only to have her run off and let someone else play with them.

But here’s a question…did the breast enlargement lead to the divorce or was it done in preparation for it?

Everyone knows how shallow the dating pool is right now. Does a small tweak to someone’s appearance give them the boost of confidence needed to make the terrifying leap back in?

Oh well, we’ve seen men do it. Suddenly they’re going to the gym, eating better, and god forbid they put that terribly obvious hair dye in their grays to look younger. (Don’t do it guys, it’s much clearer than you think).

As superficial as it sounds, a good old-fashioned boob job can do wonders for a girl’s self-confidence. Heck, some women are now even taking part in the all-out ‘mummy makeover’ packages offered by many surgeons.

A surgeon who wished to remain anonymous told me that he could buy his second house with that package alone.

There’s no denying that better self-esteem leads to better attitude. Maybe these women just recognize that they deserve someone who makes them feel special and strive for more. I don’t hate that concept.

So beware, husbands. If your wife is going under the knife, you may want to take it a step further. You’re about to get your hands on competition. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
