Interesting way of looking at it! Well spotted ;) OP Is female, there is EVERY chance she has complained about her ance at least 4.5 times in their relationship! When women complain the end up forgetting what they have complained about (thus the continuous cycle of whinging and degrading themselves) so in all honesty he was sick of hearing it! Very unlucky it was on your birthday OP - but it seems as though ur pimples were getting in the way.

I doubt she would have forgotten; I should imagine acne would be one of the top three subjects to complain about via sufferers. I think it's more to do with the fact that she's looking at the situation in a different light. She's already paranoid about her appearance due to the acne, her self esteem would be low because of it, so she'll assume the worst when others also bring her dilemma to light; such as buying her acne cream, as opposed to looking at the positives. Low self esteem can do that to you.

I agree...just saying...

You could also try Head and Shoulders as a body soap (use a loofah) for body acne. Its active ingredient pyrithione zinc is useful in treating acne. It helped me when I was a teenager where my case was moderate to severe. It was coming back 5 months after I completed my course with Accutane. It's not for everyone (I heard someone got a bad rash from it and her acne got worse) but it's really cheap and can work great. I wouldn't recommend it for the face though, it just felt weird.
