DH has a lot of acne scars on his cheeks. They're not really noticeable unless you look closely and unless he has that awkward length stubble you can't really tell at all. He is however, quite self conscious about his appearance and he really doesn't like them.
One of my friends brought them up today in conversation saying that she's heard you can get some sort of laser surgery to lessen them. I pointed out that they're really not that noticeable. She commented otherwise and went on to say that obviously it would be cheaper for DH to just grow a beard and cover them up. She then jokingly (I think) added "You don't want X(me) leaving you for someone with better skin!"
DH is not particularly sensitive but did ask me this evening if they were that bad and quizzed me on what I thought about treatment for them. I can tell he's upset although won't openly admit to that.
Am I being unreasonable to be annoyed about this? Were they just throwaay comments?
