Husband having a go when I touch up make up on holiday

Does he get impatient about other things you do, too (how long you spend in the loo, shops, coming home from work, etc)?

Could he perhaps feel insecure about how much time you put into making yourself look good? Does he ever comment on you getting or wanting attention?

Is he put off by makeup? Does he find it pointless, unattractive or just unneccessary on you?

Whatever it is, he's being completely unreasonable to be so rude and impatient with you. It's not acceptable behaviour from a husband so you need to tell him he's on a warning to work out what his problem is, get over it and stop.

You cannot be serious.Tell him to foxtrot oscar. Tell him you will do as you please .

He sounds like an insufferable arse who’s probably like this at home aswell as on holiday.
I go makeup free on holiday (and at home, cba faffing about primping and preening and babysitting makeup on my face) and scrape my hair up in a bun during the day so I can swim and take it down in the evening. My routine can be achieved in about 15 seconds - because it’s my preference. Dh can take all the time he wants getting ready, I could read, sit on the balcony with a drink, go ahead and meet him at the bar, watch a bit of telly, whatever the fuck I wanted to do if he needed more time than me.
why the rush on holiday ffs?

My ex husband used to do shit like this ....yet when he was on the loo for half hour we had to all wait 🙄. When I met my now husband, I used to rush my make up and hair and apologise and he would look at me like I was mad...that's when I realised just the extent of the bullshit I had put up with in my "old life". What's ten minutes on holiday? As my husband puts it " we rush enough in life...why on holiday?"

What does he say when you tell him to shut up?

Possibly. I only read the first couple of lines. 😬

Wow. Make up isn’t a necessary part of self respect. Not being able to go anywhere without it is a bit worrying.

Forbid?
this is domestic abuse.
LTB

That makes no sense. She's actually described what she does.

He should be pleased you take pride in your appearance. I NEVER even do the school run without make up and if he isn't noticing the effort you make I'm sure others will

For some reason, I’m imaging the OP applying her lipstick using her compact mirror, powdering her nose with a powder puff and using a tail comb to tease her perm.

Nope. Dont put the light on and make someone wake up just so you can do some make up. There doesn’t need to be a ‘forbids’, that all kinds of wrong, but the OP isn’t entirely reasonable either.

Because there’s no sensible middle ground? You can’t just brush your hair and put a nice dress on?

I wonder if it's more a case of - they go back to the room for a break. They then both decide to go out, and at that point OP announces they can't go out just yet as she needs to "freshen up", so leaving him waiting around when he was ready to go. Which is incredibly annoying for DH but also easily fixed from OP's perspective by just "freshening" up earlier so that she's also ready to go when DH is. Leaving someone waiting about constantly is pretty inconsiderate.

Where is he is a big rush to get to? Can you just suggest you’ll meet him there or are you a couple who always do everything together?

People are getting hung up on ‘forbid’. But I think the op just means that he’s still asleep so she doesn’t switch the bedroom light on but rather the bathroom light to get ready. All normal and polite when someone is still asleep.

I wouldn’t enjoy going on holiday with this man I’d rather go alone or with friends

Either he’s an arsehole or you just aren’t compatible. My DH would kick up a fuss if I suddenly spent a lot of time doing my hair and makeup (which I never would as I’m a total scruff bag like him).

Surely you do the same at home so it can’t be a great big shock to him. It would piss me right off if we were on holiday and he was rolling out of bed and out the door tbh, but I wouldn’t say anything just as I wouldn’t except my husband to verbalise everything I did was annoying him when we’re on holiday and should be relaxing. If your idea of that is feeling good about yourself then that’s all that’s important. 10 mins is hardly a long time is it. Fuck off is a complete sentence.

“cleaning up lip liner/mascara or brushing my hair and reapplying deodorant. 10 mins at most”

In what way is doing this before going out an obsession?

I don't really understand the issue.

Are you insisting you must go back to the room to "freshen up" when you're not really anywhere near your room so the issue is really about having to break off whatever you were both doing and coming back at all? If so, I'm with your husband that this is ridiculous.

Or have you gone back to the room for a break, but only starting redoing your makeup at the point where he's ready to go out - in which case, just do it as soon as you get back so you're not keeping him waiting?

DH and discovered a long time ago that the way to avoid arguments was to agree what time we were going out and anything that happened up to that point was irrelevant to the other person as long as we were both ready at the agreed time.

Your on holiday and should be able to take as long as you need to freshen up etc. Maybe ask him to wait outside or at the bar or lobby or similar if at all hotel. Sounds very controlling.

Why can't he just wait for you at the bar, by the pool, in the foyer, at a place outside you've agreed to go to? He doesn't have to come up to the room and sit there waiting for you while you do your makeup and hair surely?

And I'd just touch up my mascara or lipliner using a compact or in the toilets of wherever we were.
I guess I don't wear makeup on holiday so I'm the wrong person to advocate for it?

But he's no right to forbid you from doing anything and sounds like a twat.

Can he not entertain himself? Does he need to follow you around everywhere unnecessarily, only to criticise your every move? Yeah that is what a twat would do.

Mascara? That's not much.
