We all see other people that have qualities that we desire that our partner doesn't have, but in the end you can't pick and choose. You can't have one woman's wit and one woman's butt, and another woman's enjoyable hobbies. People are not mix and match that way. I think that it comes down to looking at your wife as a whole package. It may be, that you find that her not having a big butt is a deal-breaker. (which I am sure many people would find shallow, but we all have things that are deal-breakers.) In which case you should leave her (even though it is VERY awkward to break up with someone for reasons that are generally considered shallow) and find someone else. But I think that you will find that, taken as a complete package, with her strengths and her faults (in the sense things that you wish for), you will probably find that you would rather be with her than with some other person who has a big butt, but does not have the other qualities that you love about your wife.
Good luck.
