Spencer Pratt says he didn’t question Heidi Montag‘s decision to have 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day because, “I’m not in charge of what she does with any part of her body. I’m her husband – not her owner.”
Spencer claims he didn’t want Heidi to get the surgeries but, “Anytime I hinted that it might be a little much or if I just asked if she was sure, I even felt like I was crossing lines.” Respecting your partner’s decisions is great, but it’s probably best to voice your concerns if they’re about to undergo a risky and unnecessary medical procedure.
