So, I asked my bf if he’s embarrassed by me as we never venture out of town for food or on day trips etc . This is his response. No one’s ever said anything like this to me so I don’t know what to make of it ?

Being embarrassed about you.
Well I didn’t want to say this but it is the elephant in the room so it’s being noticed so I suppose I’ll be honest. Imagine every time I came to see you I wore odd mismatching shoes would you sit there quietly? You probably would but you would notice and somewhere deep inside you would think ahh FFS!! In the same way I struggle with your make up application and choices. The amount of times I’ve seen squiggly lines or poor application of make up it’s pretty obvious it’s not your skill. The last time I saw you in my head I was thinking what the hell have you done to your eyes that’s probably the worse make up choice and application I’ve seen. It’s at a point I been searching for make up lessons as a gift! So I don’t need to tell you but now that you asked. It shouldn’t bother me but it’s been getting under my skin to a point where I think you look better without it but no you choose bizarre lipstick colours which don’t match you complexion etc. i can categorically say that some of the artwork you done on your face especially around the eyes is the worst I’ve ever seen. I’m sorry if that’s not what you want to hear but I didn’t want to wake to read this crap aswell.

Do you wear bizarre make up?

Tsuni · 20/03/2022 14:18

He's a weirdo. Bin him.

NotaCoolMum · 20/03/2022 14:19

Oh my god!!!! GET RID OF HIM NOW!!!

Fritilleries · 20/03/2022 14:19

This has to be a wind-up. He sounds like an absolute bell-end.

LizDoingTheCanCan · 20/03/2022 14:19

What is 'this crap' that he refers to, have you sent him an unpleasant message that this is the response to?

Is he right about your make up? It's blunt, but does he have a point?

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 20/03/2022 14:19

If that's real, please dump the twat!!

thebellsesmereldathebells · 20/03/2022 14:19

I can't comment on your make-up as I haven't seen it, but who bloody cares about that anyway.

Your boyfriend is an obnoxious weirdo. Get rid.

Kirstos1 · 20/03/2022 14:20

I have never a fella be such a make up expert. There were much better ways he could have told you too.

AlisonDonut · 20/03/2022 14:20

If anyone said that to me I'd tell them to fuck right off and would ditch them completely. And I'd wear crazy make up to do it. And I don't even wear fucking make up.

Is your make up weird? Ether way , find someone who loves your make up.! There is no future with someone who is embarrassed about you now . What about when you are older and may gain weight etc 🤷‍♀️🙄

Tsuni · 20/03/2022 14:21

Maybe your make up is terrible but his po faced and pious reply is just strange.

Yorkshiregurl1 · 20/03/2022 14:21

No I don’t wear bizarre makeup . I like my winged eyeliner Etc but I wouldn’t say it’s bizarre .

FriedaKleinsCat · 20/03/2022 14:21

Wow. What a charmer. I can’t think of any reason to be in a relationship with someone who speaks to you like that. Would be the end of the relationship for me. How do you feel about it, OP?

SparklingLime · 20/03/2022 14:21

Jesus Christ! Deeply unpleasant. Bin!

Redcrayons · 20/03/2022 14:21

Wow that’s blunt.

What’s your makeup style?

Byeeefornow · 20/03/2022 14:21

Is it just your make up he’s got a problem with? Weird in itself but wondering if that’s all.

HollowTalk · 20/03/2022 14:22

I’m sorry if that’s not what you want to hear but I didn’t want to wake to read this crap aswell.

What does this mean?

Be honest, is your make up really bad? Has anyone ever told you that? I think his response does depend on your make up, though the way he's phrased it is really cruel.

Yorkshiregurl1 · 20/03/2022 14:23

@Fritilleries unfortunately it’s not a wind up . I’m too embarrassed to speak to my friends hence I’m posting here

He's saying it looks a mess. Could you ask a trusted friend if they agree?
Cocolapew · 20/03/2022 14:24

Fuck him he needs dumped.

Orchidsonthetable · 20/03/2022 14:25

Is your make up poorly applied, you say you like it winged etc,not sure what etc is, but he seems to think you apply it crookedly. Did you text him and that’s what he means waking up to this crap?

Bushkin · 20/03/2022 14:25

Yeah, get rid

Hugasauras · 20/03/2022 14:25

ShockShock What an awful message!

FairyCakeWings · 20/03/2022 14:25

Winged eyeliner is hard to get right and it often doesn’t look good. But it’s your face and if you like your make up then that’s all that matters.

You asked him a question and he answered honestly. I don’t think that makes him a bad person, but it does mean that he doesn’t adore you the way he should if this relationship is going to be any good for you. Get rid, and carry on wearing your make up the way you like it.
