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

The OP hasn’t mentioned going back to the room multiple times. Why are you making stuff up?

And who are you to dictate what is sufficient for a ‘touch up’? I don’t carry a comb or deodorant and would much prefer to freshen up in my room rather than on the go.

You can’t be serious, she’s on holiday, why on earth should she be banned from going back to her room and walk about with deodorant in her bag, ? I mean that’s disgusting in the base case, putting deodorant on over sweat.

I suppose it would depend on why you are going back to the room? If you are just going back to grab a bag or jumper etc I would be annoyed but if you were going back to chill out for 30 minutes etc I can't see the problem.

Personally I would need 10 minutes from getting out the shower to leaving the room to be ready so can't see why anyone would need to go back and touch anything up but each to their own!

Because people are being rude.

Sure it's normal to do that in the evening, but that tends to be because you're showering off salt water, sand, chlorine, dirt from a day's sightseeing etc, and/or getting ready to go out for dinner and getting a bit more dressed up. That's not what OP is talking about.

Most people carry combs, which should be more than adequate for a touch-up. If you've got a bag with your sunglasses, book, suntan lotion etc in it's easy enough to include a small stick of deodorant.

Goodness, make-up proponents are incredibly aggressive. I wonder why?

You’re completely missing the point of the thread. It’s the OPs choice whether she wants to spend 10 minutes preparing herself in the morning. I’m sure we could pick apart whether each 10 minute slot of your holiday was optimally utilised based on our own preferences, but why would we?

The issue is that the OP’s DH is making what should be a relaxing holiday into an ordeal because he can’t let her spend 10 minutes doing something she wants to do at the start of the day… doesn’t really matter what it is.

It’s not even like he’s been up for hours waiting as he’s only been out kf bed for 10 minutes himself! It would be exhausting on a work day, but on holiday… it’s crazy! Don’t some people know how to relax?

It’s completely normal to go back to your room between a day out in the sun in hot weather and an evening on holiday. You would be very abnormal to never do this.

Why on earth would anyone lug a hairbrush and deodorant around to do it in a public bathroom rather than going home and actually freshening up after being in the sun/pool/beach?

it put me on edge every time we went back to the room. Bloody annoying

@cardibach

you seem to think you are superior to other women so yes you are a pick me girl…why can’t other women be like you and be happy and carefree and easy going without slapping on ‘paint’ on their faces?! Why can’t they just be content in themselves and not hold up their husband from what he wants to do?! Pesky women and their silly slap, such a nuisance.

I cant speak for other threads but im 99.9% certain no one has described styled hair and makeup as basic hygiene on here. That would be pretty wild.

There have however been multiple comments about make up wearers who want to have a 10 min touch up as being obsessive, lacking self esteem, different person, fake etc. But shhhh, we'll not talk about those.

Its also clear the "pick me" is nothing to do with not wearing makeup, I mean, if you wanna talk about out of context.....

But anyway, bye 👋 Maybe theres another make up thread where you can go and tell women they wear paint. Have fun!

You think? I find the opposite. Styled hair and makeup have been described as ‘basics’ here and people who don’t do that as lacking basic hygiene. Still don’t understand how not wearing make up is being pick me, but everything here seems a bit topsy turvy. Those quotations are out of context and not jibes by the way. But I’m out. Hiding the thread.

Huh? When we go back to the room, I collapse on the bed to get some zzz’s and DH is on at me to get up to go to dinner before places stop taking bookings/walk in’s. I do find it annoying, but on the other hand, ultimately, I’d probably be pissed to miss dinner. Fuck the lipliner, I’m more worried about the sleep dribble caked to my face as we race out the door.

I said similar on another thread recently - very rare you see women putting down other women who choose not to wear makeup or get tweakments etc. But plenty of snidey comments from women towards those that do. Weird.

You need me to tell you what you posted? Is there a back story here?

You can’t just brush your hair and put a nice dress on?

Do you wear make up? That’s changing your appearance. Do men do it?

It’s about being happy in your own skin without extra paint

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

anyway, just for clarity, yes your comments are judgemental little jibes. And you sound far from a woman comfortable in her own skin. Becaude women comfortable in their own skin don’t feel the need to make little jibes to other women over their appearance.

Can you indicate where? Because it would be odd if I judged someone for something I have no interest in. And I don’t have any notable hang ups abput my appearance thanks. Why would you think I do?
Both suggestions sound very much like projection to me. Maybe baggage for you to manage elsewhere?
