Ok, so... Here’s the background story:

I have been struggling for the past several months with severe acne. I am in my mid-30s and it kind of hit me out of nowhere. Every single day I would wake up to another giant cyst acne and my chin, neck and cheeks were covered. I admittedly care WAY too much about how I look and am ALWAYS “put together”. When I don’t feel good about myself, I tend to get super moody and needless to say, this massive breakout had me spiraling! I’ve felt so ugly and bad about myself not knowing why the heck this was happening. My husband has seen how this has affected me over the last few months and I haven’t been myself (acne really does spark depression, I swear).anyways, I finally went to the dermatologist and got a topical medication, which I started 2 weeks ago...

And now to the story prompting this poll....

As my husband and I were heading out to lunch today, I was finally feeling a little bit back to normal, my skin has STARTED to clear, and with makeup, i felt my confidence creeping back into me. My lovely husband said “you look really pretty” as we were leaving the house and I said “thanks, I feel so much better my skin is starting to clear up” and his reply... wait for it...

‘“I know, thank goodness, you were 1 pimple away from receiving divorce papers” ....

SAY WHAT?! I was instantly aggravated and mad. He was laughing saying “I;m kidding, omg you can’t actually be mad at that?”... but I was 😞 for 2 reasons:

1. Don’t EVER joke about divorce.... even as dumb a joke as that was, just don’t... and

2. I honestly have struggled with this terrible feeling the past few months and have been so down on myself and finally today i really truly felt a little better, but that just set me back. He complimented me...yes... but followed by such a stupidly unnecessary joke.

Ok, so yes... I do know he was joking and not LITERALLY ready to issue me divorce papers over my acne and moodiness it has caused... but still... it upset me!

And finally, the big poll question!!??:

Do I have reason to be upset? Or am I being WAYYYYY too sensitive to a silly joke (as my husband said)? WHO’S SIDE ARE YOU ON?!?
