What do I do?

Question

Today I finally decided not to wear makeup with my boyfriend...I opened to door to him and the first thing he said to me was “wow Ella you look tired” and he tried to explain himself by saying “you just looked like you had just gotten out of bed” it’s really hurt me and make me self conscious. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

I think the best thing to do is explain it to him. Say you decided not to wear makeup around him and wanted to be comfortable like that, and the way he responded hurt your feelings. Don’t dump him, guys are stupid🤷🏼‍♀️ i usually don’t wear makeup around my boyfriend, but I know that sometimes i DO look more tired when not wearing it (: it’s all good! Just talk to him about it.

Answer

He might have not meant it like that, some guys are just blunt and say exactly what they think they don’t filter. Regardless though he shouldn’t have said that.

Answer

Maybe he just hasn't seen yet who you are outside of your appearance... maybe he needs to appreciate aspects of your personality. I'd say give him a chance but I'd bring up how it stung.

Answer

I mean makeup does cover up all imperfections.. 
I get told I look tired all the time when I don’t wear makeup I think it’s something not to be worried about

Answer

i just think hes not used to seeing you without it. Its okay hun it's not that big of a deal💙💙

Answer

my boyfriends dad tells me i look like hell when i wear no makeup or when i barley wake up. my boyfriend too sometimes 😂 it's honestly funny to me because it's true and im not going to deny it. i embrace it. i have self image issues but i dont let what other people say bother me. the only comments that bother me are my own. im my own worst enemy tbh. but i dont think you should let it bother you. embrace it. and dont dump him over it! thats silly.

Answer

Talk to him

Answer

if you looked like crap oh well boo hoo

Answer

Guys don’t understand stuff like that. I’m sure that’s what my boyfriend thinks when I open the door with no makeup on but he just doesn’t say anything. He may have just through you really did look tired. It’s not that big of a deal, especially if it’s the first time you didn’t wear makeup around him.

Answer

He said “wow you look Ill”
