It’s clear that those extra pounds aren’t going unnoticed by people’s partners, either.

Many people aren’t born with straight, white teeth, and the means by which they might achieve them are often cost-prohibitive.

The rest of the face didn’t get off so easily, either—35 percent of those polled said their partner’s skin was saggier and 31 percent said their partner had developed more wrinkles since the beginning of the pandemic.
