When he first mentioned it, that was my thought. That it was a quick way to look less like my mom. But when I told him that I've tried it and not only do I not look less like my mom, but I look worse, he kept pushing. It's the pushing that bothers me and makes me think that I'm not acceptable to him looks wise. Well, everything he says confirms to me that I'm not acceptable to him looks wise. He can say all he wants about it being my saying that, but the truth is that he's mentioned it intermittently for years, and began ramming it down my throat when I said something about it.
But I don't need for him to approve of my looks. My husband *likes* the natural look, and that's more important than what my therapist thinks.
It's just that it's starting to make me feel bad, and I'd like him to back off. And I suppose I'll tell him so. Sigh.
