“If he apologizes for the comment, the marriage is salvageable.
If hes not willing to do that, the wedding is off, and probably the relationship.
Here’s thestory:
“I, a 26-year-old female, do not wear makeup.
My face is my face, and I think its a good one, as is.”
“We are currently deep in wedding planning.
Ive picked out a dress and am making arrangements for a hairstylist and such for the big day.
The most Im going to do is get a spa treatment, so my skin looks its best.”
“This upset my mother-in-law, so she got my fiance involved.
He asked if I would just wear makeup for the ceremony and pictures.
I told him I wanted to look at my pictures and see me.”
“He said it would still be me just ‘the best version of me.’
“I wear lipstick, he wears lipstick.
I wear foundation, he wears foundation.
My brother thinks my conditions were ‘emasculating’ to my fiance.”

“Stand your ground and take a stab at get an understanding of where your fiance is coming from.
Does he really want to see the makeup on you, or is he just trying to hey Mommy?
“Fuck the makeup.
You’re about to marry a dude who lets the opinions of his mother and sister affect his relationship!
Why do you should probably appease his mother on YOUR wedding day?
Why are the demands and wishes of his mother and sister more important than yours?
Be prepared for your opinions to be pushed aside for your future monster-in-law once you start having babies.
Good luck, original poster!”

I’m sorry about what I said.
BUT, he screwed it up showing his childishness!”
“Im considering the marriage.
If hes not willing to do that, the wedding is off, and probably the relationship.
At this point, I may be throwing a ‘Whew, that was close!’
