When it comes to relationships, it’s important to be honest and open with your partner. However, when it came to my own relationship, I found myself feeling embarrassed by the scars my boyfriend had.
It wasn’t that I didn’t love him with all of his imperfections, it was more that I was worried about how others would react when they saw him.
After all, I was ashamed of the fact that he had been through so much and I wanted to protect him.
One day, I finally decided to confront the issue head-on. I asked my boyfriend if he had ever thought of covering up his scars with makeup. At first, he was taken aback by my request. He didn’t understand why I was asking him to do something like that, but I explained that I wanted him to feel more confident and comfortable in his own skin.
He was hesitant at first, but eventually agreed to my request. He started experimenting with different products and eventually found a foundation that he liked. He would use it to cover up his scars and I could see the difference it made. He looked more confident and his self-esteem was boosted.
However, I soon realized that wearing makeup was not enough to make me feel comfortable. I could still see the scars, even when they were covered up, and it made me feel even more embarrassed. I knew that I needed to find a way to make him feel good about himself without having to rely on makeup.
That’s when I decided to start complimenting him more. I would tell him how handsome he was and how much I appreciated him and his courage. I also made sure to tell him how strong he was for overcoming all of the obstacles in his life. I wanted to make sure he knew that I loved him just the way he was, scars and all.
It took some time, but eventually, my compliments started to make a difference. He began to feel more confident and his self-esteem was boosted. He was also more open to trying out different makeup products, which made me even more proud of him.
My relationship with my boyfriend has changed so much since I asked him to put on makeup. Not only has he become more confident, but I have also learned to accept him as he is. I know that no matter what he looks like, I will always love him and be proud of him.
