My husband always makes fun of my dark complexion. Many times I tried to make him understand that’s I don’t like making fun of myself, but he continuously does it.What should I do to make him stop saying anything about my complexion, because I am really fed up of these things.

I am just here to thank @Shila Dave mam for helping my friend out from her toxic relationship! I was so afraid that she was going into depression, but thankfully she is a like a new person now. Of course she;s not ready to get into another relationship yet, but I am sure she will get there. Guys, therapies do work. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you feel a situation is causing you too much hurt. God bless you Shila mam
