A wife claims she was left 'devastated' after finding old messages on her husband's phone from when they first met telling his pal how UGLY he thought she was.
Jane Lewis, 40, checked husband Jack's* phone with his permission last month and was heartbroken when she found messages from the start of the relationship of him bragging to a friend about 'an ugly chick who wants me so bad'.
The 35-year-old appears to write how he hasn't had to 'f_ck her yet' even though she'll 'do anything' for him and even invited him to move into her home.
He goes on to describe how he just has to 'make out with her a little bit' to keep Jane, from New Jersey, US, happy.
The sprinkler technician sent the vile messages six years ago but the couple went on to marry in 2021, while Jane only found the texts last month.
Jack described how he'd met 'this ugly chick' at the supermarket where Jane worked at the time and says she'll 'do f_cking literally anything' for him including buy cigarettes.
He tells his friend that he's moved in with her but says he doesn't find Jane attractive like the 'hot girls he sees all the time'.
He goes to say that he believes he could get any girl but most 'hot chicks are stuck up anyway'.
The 40-year-old says she immediately confronted her husband who was mortified and said he was trying to make himself feel better at the time.
Mum-of-three Jane says her confidence has been shattered and if she'd found the messages earlier, she would have left him, meaning the pair would never have married.
Jane said: "I went through his messages to see who he was talking to. Him and his friend don't text that often so I only had to scroll back about ten messages.
"I got to one from when we first got together saying he was using me for my money, how ugly I am and he won't have sex with me.
"It was pretty bad. It was very shocking. I was devastated.
"He was mortified, he was pretty upset and he apologised. He said he felt bad about himself [at the time] and he wanted to make himself feel better.
"I don't know how I'll move on from it. I'm hurt by it. If he asks me a question, I say 'I'm not stupid, I'm just ugly'.
"He calls me beautiful but I don't believe him. It's knocked my confidence. I have ugly duckling syndrome. I'll always think I'm really bad looking.
"I would have left him if I found the messages in the beginning. I have to try to move past it, it's seven years later and we're married.
"If it was someone else who found the messages, I would tell them to leave because if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't be with him. I wouldn't have stuck through so many things."
The couple met when Jane was working at a supermarket where Jack was a regular customer.
She says that they moved in together almost immediately and she thought the relationship was going well at the time Jack sent the messages.
Other messages Jack sent describe Jane as a 'good chick' but he claims he's 'had plenty of other chicks' that are better looking than her.
Jane described him as 'kind, appreciative and flattering' at the start of the relationship making the way he described her to his friend even more shocking.
Jane said: "I thought we had a nice relationship. I don't understand any of it. He was so nice to me and appreciative of everything I did.
"He was all round pretty kind. I had to do a double take when I found the messages.
"It seemed like our relationship was based on a lie. He didn't treat me like that. It was out of character.
"He wasn't the person he was when we were together, he was sweet and flattering. He's clearly a different person to me than he is to his friends and that's messed up.
"Marriage means a lot to him and he said he was never going to get married unless it was someone really special but I don't believe anything he tells me now.
"He could be telling me one thing and other people another."
Jack didn't wish to comment.
