I am not a conventionally attractive person, but I don’t think I’m ugly. I take care of my face ( ~7 layers of skincare product every morning and night), hair (~5 haircare products every now and then), and body.

Few days ago it was my SO’s mum birthday. My SO and I decided to get her a gift. My SO mentioned it was from him and his SO, and basically he ended up showing my instagram.

In the afternoon, I also surprised her with a bouquet of flowers. SO said she was surprised &amp; was excited someone got her flowers (SO told me noone in their family had ever gotten her flowers before)

The next day during breakfast the SO’s mum had a talk with my SO and said along the lines of “a woman’s attractiveness matters &amp; you could do better. you shouldn’t get with an unattractive woman, look at your uncle, he cheated on his wife because she let herself go” in reference to me.

This bothered me, but my SO reassured that he liked me. I think. But not until tonight. I sent a selfie after I worked out and had a shower, literally barefaced. The first thing SO commented was my pimples. Right now I have few pimple scars on my face, but I never thought this bothered /anyone/. But I guess they’re that noticable to be the first thing my SO commented on.

Oh well, I basically feel like an ogre and that he deserves someone better looking who his mum will approve.
