Boyfriend doesn’t want me to wear makeup “hates it”

Please OP dump him NOW!! If you don't, you will go on to live a miserable life with this controlling arsehole, and in another couple of years will be a shell of your former self, scared to look at a man for fear of being accused of wanting to shag him. Scared to offer an opinion. You will be walking on eggshells, and find it so much harder to break away from him, because he will literally have robbed you of every tiny bit of confidence that you ever had. Get rid of him, and be YOURSELF! If he doesn't like you as you are, why doesn't he go and look elsewhere.

THIS!

He's either deeply insecure or hugely arrogant enough to need to put you down to feel superior. These kind of men chip away at your self esteem until you feel a husk of yourself and second guess every decision you make.

I bet he a) doesn't take even mild criticism from you well b) would do exactly what he wanted in a given situation even if it put you out and c) would get annoyed if you said no to him about anything.

Angry much

Can you imagine how awful it would be to raise kids with this soulsucker?

Op, this is abuse. Constantly criticising you to wear you down. Implying you are weak, stupid, crazy or overreacting. Constantly finding something else to nag you about. You end up frightened to do anything incase it sets him off.

He's doing this deliberately FYI. It's not unintentional. Next it'll be 'you're dolling yourself up for other men!' accusations. And little digs about your body. Or how he doesn't like your friends/family. Comments about women on TV or exs and how they look better in xyz/behave better than you etc...

Telling you you can't 'take a joke'.
Ruining every special occasion and holiday by being generally shit...

It all spirals.

Get out now.

I really think you should leave him

he is showing you the thin edge of control you will be miserable in the long term - never doing anything right

this sounds ever so daily mail ad revenue.
Clicky clicky.

OP, wear make up like a terrible tart.
Slap that shit on with a spade.
Don't stop until you have a very obvious neckline where the foundation peters off.
Lips huge and succulent.
Man scared of/aroused by face.
Job done.

Control often starts with something simple like makeup.

Everything you’ve said about him suggests he is a nasty, controlling piece of shit.

I would dump. Sorry x

Tell him you don't like it when he tells you what to do and it's a massive turn off.

you aren’t a decoration existing purely for his enjoyment. You’re allowed to look however you want and if he doesn’t like it, or it isn’t his preferred way, he can shut the fuck up. Tell him you prefer a man who doesn’t talk shit and isn’t controlling.

I’d tell my husband if his T-shirt was back to front or inside out, even if it’s just nightwear.

Uts impossible to tell fro. Your posts whether he is being overly controlling or whether he just thinks you are naturally beautiful and spoiling your appearance with the wrong colour tinted moisturiser etc. Either way, you are not enjoying the criticism, so you need to tell him to stop.

You are not over sensitive, he’s a dick. Personally I think the answer is bin him, but if you won’t- don’t take any more criticism. Ask him when he’s cooking dinner and say you’re done cooking until he’s done some meals for a change with you telling him everything he’s done wrong and you know he won’t be oversensitive about it. If he comments about makeup say I think you’re confused here- this is MY face, that one over there is yours, and I’ll put whatever I want on mine. Clear? So we don’t have to have this conversation again?? I’ll think you’re a bit dim if we do, someone your age should have worked out where your own face is.

And there we go …. More controlling behaviour.

OP this isn’t right. You must know he’s being horrible. Don’t put up with this!!

First post nails it as usual.

He needs to STFU. It’s your face, not his.

Watch for any further signs of controlling behaviour very carefully OP.

He's abusing you. (Coercive control. ) Leave him. He'll not improve or change.

I posted and when I did I didn’t realize how critical of you he was. so I take back about the makeup. He’s a louse, you know you can do better and I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. Lose him and get your confidence back. I just meant you might actually not need makeup but it doesn’t matter. It only matters what you think , no one else

Do not have a child with this man.
Please ensure you are using proper contraception.

I'd have told him to get to fuck. No man comes between me and make up/nail polish. You should see my stash. 😅 One of my friends said I should sell it. No one wants used make up from ten years ago, except for some very niche collectors. (Lisa Eldridge and Erin Parsons spring to mind.) I'm not selling my nail polish either. That's newer but absolutely not! Took me ages to hunt down some of them.

Exactly this OP ..
I hope you listen to what women on here are telling you ..
He is controlling & you are doubting yourself, saying you’re too sensitive & can’t take criticism, you’re not too sensitive , pp is right ..
He’s getting in your head ..
Trust me when I say , these guys don’t change & believe me I know , I was with one for years , father of my children, thankfully my Ex for 9/10 years ..
Don’t waste years of your life with this guy .. He has shown you who he is , it will only get worse ..

Find your voice, use it. Tell him No! And get the fuck away from him
If you know you have tendency for passivity you need to work to find your confidence
Dont share finances, Don’t give up work and don’t get pg by him

I’m actually saying she might be absolutely stunning and it has nothing to do with him. Just for herself

Bin the boyfriend and keep your make up bag. No contest really.

Fuck that. He's a controlling ass hole.

You can do better than this bellend.
