There's really no other way that I can say this: Your boyfriend is a shallow douche-bag. I don't understand why you would bother to stay with him if he treats you this way and isn't supportive when it comes to your battle against acne.
I think it's time you found a new boyfriend...
I kind of agree with your boyfriend. Acne is understandable if theres good reason for it, almost everyone has had at least minor breakouts, but if you cant justify nor correct why youre getting breakouts then its just not sexy. For me acne is really simple; sure Ive had it often enough but Ive always either dealt with it/not cared/not complained.
Anyway as a kid I imagined Hawaii a tropical paradise and I always dreamt of living there. You say youre pretty, youve got work, youve got something going for you. Theres a lot of useful information on this website about how to deal with acne: Youre in the right place. Good luck.

Also, just for the record...this is probably the worst post/worst advice that I've ever seen on this website. I really don't think this online community is for you...
Well said on all aspects.
aw. i missed the big discussion. but yeah your boyfriend sucks. i say confront him, give him three strikes then hes out. just being fair, which i dont think he really deserves in the first place, but yeahp.
Yea I agree..give him another shot. But only because he may be that naive and not fully conscious of his actions yet.

yeah, thanks, i just think the OP should make get a clear message across about what hes doing that she doesnt like, just to be straight-forward so he'll know for sure why she would dump him if she ends up doing that

Have you not learned anything from this site? Acne is in no way easy to treat, and no one needs to "justify" why they have acne. There are countless complicated reasons why people get acne. If it were simple, no one would suffer from acne! Seriously, think before you post such an ignorant comment on a site where people are suffering and who often feel insecure.
My acne is only mild really, but if im ever in a relationship i kinda like it if the girl has a few spots or some acne. I feel like if she does she wont judge me, i actually hate it when their skin is like super perfect lol.
If a girl truly likes you then she shouldn't judge you on anything. She will like all aspects of you taking the good with the bad. As soon as someone tries to change you or tell you what to do then it is time to leave.
A relationship should enhances ones life not dominate it.
Im starting to think my boyfriend is only with me for my looks
Heres a little info:
Me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years. After the first year I suffered a moderate breakout that would leave red marks all over my face (I have light colored skin) and would have small annoying bumps all over all the time. Considering I live in Kauai, I never leave the house without make-up on because the sunlight will just show all my marks. During the time I would breakout badly I would always cake on make-up so no one can see my redness. But sometimes I would have my good days and go to my boyfriends house at night without make-up. He always stares at my face and says wow you look really different.. and its always awkward. Or he would say oh you must be really stressed out *proactive commercial comes on* He says, Maybe the dark spot corrector will erase your spots : P
He even has said to me that no guy will ever talk to me without make-up on. (Which is probably true) ugh. And my skin isnt even as bad as it was before Im about 96% clear with some minor fading red marks. And my boyfriends skin looks better than mine and he never eats fruit or vegetables and eats nothing but junk! DX He doesnt even know how much I do to keep my skin looking semi decent..
Anyways back to the issue. Im just afraid that he is only with me because of the way I look. When he met me I was completely clear had such perfect skin and didnt even wear face make-up on our first few dates. He would always tell me Im pretty, sexy, the most best looking person in the world, etc.. but sometimes we fight like any other couple and recently he has called me incredibly stupid. He says that I wont get far in life and will barely make any money compared to what he can do /: Which sadly might be true because Im a hairstylist who just got a part time job at the salon. And I spend a lot of money on quality/organic food for my skin issues shipping in Hawaii is hella expensive : P
So I asked him why are you with a stupid girl? He said, Its because your pretty. Most smart girls are fat and ugly. The smart and pretty ones are already married.. My reaction was wow okay So youre basically with me because of my looks? What if I start to look ugly in the future?
He obviously thinks im a idiot and never gives me youre pretty comments when Im not wearing make-up.
I guess another reason why he is also with me is because we made a commitment to always stay together and never cheat.. He likes the feeling of security.
But I dont want to move in with him / get married if he is going to not like me on my bad skin days He hasn't even seen me at my worst.. Last time he saw me without make-up I only had 3-4 bright red marks and he still said something.. *While staring at my face* "Oh you don't look THAT bad..."
I try to be as healthy as I can and be clear, but just the thought of him not wanting to be with me if I had severe acne is just kinda disappointing A lot of guys I have been with have such high standards its so crazy. A couple of my exes havent even found a new girlfriend yet even though they're pretty desperate because theyre looking for someone incredibly attractive. Most of those girls are already taken...
I need some advice from you guys... Why are so many guys like this? What the heck is a girl like me suppose to do? I just feel a little disturbed. Wish it wasnt all about looks, but it seems like it is. oh and btw I'm 19 and my bf is 22
Man, where do i start. First off, pick your self respect off the floor and dust it off. It is NOT ok for him to speak t you like this and it is NOT ok for you to keep validating what he says by constantly putting yourself down. Having been in a verbally abusive relationship, i have learned the hard way that if you can't love yourself as is, no one will love and accept you as is. Acne and Acne marks are a part of your life and it may get better or worse as time goes on.....you just don't know. With that said, you need to find someone who will love you no matter what. I have a friend who was severly burnt in a fire years ago and guess what, her husband still loves and respects her despite the changes (her face was flawless before). If you can't say that your boyfriend would do the same, it is time to get a new boyfriend or stay single and take the the time to get to know and love yourself in spite of your flaws
Good Luck

Your post is VERY immature and quite shallow. No one needs to anyone else about there looks. As my mama always says, if you can't handle the heat, get the hell outta the kitchen - so if someone elses acne bothers you, don't look or date someone with acne. Just remember in life that God don't like ugly (inside)
^ sometimes asking someone to change is part of compromising. some ppl don't realize how their actions can hurt someone that actually does care for them.
You're are right but i would argue it's unfair to ask anyone to be something they are not.
If there is anything fundamentally someone doesn't like about someone else then i say get out.
I consider myself to be easy going and tolerant but im not everyone's cup of tea. I can't help that and i never go out of my way to be nasty or offensive.
If you are with someone then you have chosen to be with them, that means taken them as they are. I am with my g/f because i like her for who she is, i would never ask her to change anything good or bad. If there was something i didn't like about her then i wouldn't be with her. For me it is that simple. Enhance each others life and never put each other in a position where the other is asking you to change.

What???? Are you for real? What's the secret to "correcting" acne? There are some people who have tried EVERYTHING and the damn things still come out. People don't have control over it. Believe me, if they did, nobody on this Earth would have acne.
What a shallow loser. Nobody should be treated like that. I would have dumped him a long time ago. Imagine spending the rest of your life being put down like that...every day -waking up to that crap. You're better than that and you deserve better.
He sounds like a toxic jerk. I hope to the gods that you break up with him, because it sounds like he's bringing you down emotionally. Partners shouldn't do that!
You can have acne and still be beautiful. If a few red marks make him say things like that, there is something wrong with him. There are plenty of guys that would treat you way better, so please take the advice of those in the forum here. Good luck. <3
