Re: Between a rock and a hard place
With all due respect, why are you surprised? Princesses aren’t supposed to have stretch marks? Should she have named herself the Ugly Duckling?
As for the OP,
Men generally don’t care about things like that. If he chose to make you his significant other and spend the rest of his life with you, then he must’ve seen traits that are more important than something as minor as stretch marks. You need to boost your confidence and know that these marks don’t take away from your beauty and doesn’t change who you are.
I would still suggest you tell him beforehand, bring it up in a casual conversation so you’re not worried about it all this time until you’re married and he knows you had nothing to hide. I’m not saying this because the stretch marks itself are a big deal but to give you a peace of mind. If he likes you genuinely and really wants to spend his life with you, then inshallah he will stick by and will help in building your confidence back, and if (very low chance) he turns out to be one of those rareeee few douchebags who makes a big deal out of it, then I’d say it’s a good thing you figured him out before it was too late and were married to him already.
I was going to write a personal issue I had, but I think this should do.
