Today, I woke up next to my boyfriend. He gazed at me, stroked my cheek, and said, "Christ, you really need something for this acne." FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me acne cream for my birthday. FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and I said that I was self-conscious of my acne. He told me that only one of my zits was noticeable and that it wasn't so bad. In fact he said it looked cool, like a bullet wound or something "awesome" like that. FML
Today, I was romantically cuddling with my boyfriend. He looked deep into my eyes, stared lovingly at me, and said, "I never noticed, but you have the most adorable freckles on your face..." Blushing, I tilted my head to the side. He then said, "Oh, never mind, those are just your blackheads." FML
Today, I woke up to a text from my boyfriend asking if I'd Skype with him. Thinking he'd find my tousled bed hair and big t-shirt sexy, I went on. The first thing he noticed was the massive booger on my face that stretched from my nose to the other side of my cheek. FML
Today, while lying next to me, my boyfriend smiled and told me, "I really like your eyes. They're pretty." He paused and then finished with, "They really help your face." FML
Today, I woke up to my boyfriend trying to pick my nose. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were snuggling and telling eachother nice things. The nicest thing he could think of to say to me was "Well, I see you shaved your mustache." FML
Today, my boyfriend called me into the bathroom after he had been in there a while. I found him with his pants down, looking at a pimple on his butt in the mirror. He asked me for, "Help." FML
Today, I went with my boyfriend to the optometrist for him to buy contact lenses for the first time. He said the detail was much better than glasses. I excitedly asked him if he could see my freckles better now, and after a long and disappointed look at my face, he said "Nope, just more acne." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I'm beautiful. Before I could thank him, he continued, "Too bad it takes a shit-load of makeup." FML

That's actually my worst fear.. To be in a vulnerable state and have the guy I woke up next to say something about my appearance. I'm sorry, OP. That must have hurt.

Every woman wants to feel beautiful so I feel your pain but I don't think there's anything wrong here. It shows he cares about you and feels open enough to discuss things like this with you. He's worried about your skin health. Also you woke up next to him so he obviously isn't bothered by it or think less of you. During and after my pregnancy I started getting acne and when I started weaning my son it got pretty bad. I complained about it all the time to my boyfriend and we regularly talked about it. I felt bad sometimes when HE brought it up but he was concerned for me and he knew I was unhappy so he wanted to help me fix it. We bought some acne washes and creams and pads and I just got on it and cleared my skin back up. I don't know how bad yours is but you might want to see a dermatologist. Also just talk to him and tell him that it's a sensitive subject and to be a bit more sensitive when discussing it. Sorry for the novel I may have projected a bit. Good Luck OP

I disagree 37. It wasn't like he was trying to help by bringing up a new medication or product for her to try. He was only pointing out what she is already aware of, and hurting her feelings. If he was trying to help by recommending something she could do, then that would be different, but he wasn't doing anything but saying what she already knows. Your situation sounds a bit different because it sounds like your boyfriend was genuinely trying to help and offering new ideas of things to try; but her boyfriend wasn't.

At least he was honest. He was probably trying to help you out.

If the person can't alter their appearance in 2 minutes (smudged makeup, lipstick on their teeth etc.) just don't mention it! I swear people's parents don't teach their kids manners sometimes.

maybe he ment it in a good way and was concerned because of how much acne sucks?

Acne has a lot to do with lifestyle so ur diet, stress levels, and amount of sleep u get affects it too. But that was kinda rude of him.

Actually, acne more often than not, has to do with hormones and skin issues (dermatological issues) than anything else. Things that you can't help on your own.

No it doesn't, there's literally nothing you can do about hormonal acne, which is most kinds, besides take crazy medications that **** up your body or creams that burn your skin off.

Wow what a douche. It's a not so subtle put down and probably not the first or last. it's a pattern that will develop as he makes you feel worse and worse about yourself until he convinces you that he is the only one who will ever tolerate your imperfections. I'm sure his face is ******* spotless, not.

He is a douche bag for putting it like that but would you have been told by him while y'all are at home or have a random person say it out loud in public so people can stare. I'm sorry if this bothers people but I want the truth when it is about me

In all seriousness, this guy sounds quite nice in his own way. He cares way more about you, and his comment was made constructively. Like while it's totally FML worthy, this one little quip is a positive for you.
