[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what kind of stupid question is this?  We don't live in a society or culture where arranged marriage is the norm.  Presumably, you both know your husband and he knows you before marriage.

In what scenario would your partner, whom you chose and knew you before marriage, would suddenly request you wear make up if you have never before been the kind of woman who wears makeup?

This is such a stupid, baiting question, I have to wonder about the person who asked it.  ARe you a teenager or something?  Do you have any idea how adult relationships work?

I’m 38 and this was the first my husband asked for this. Like I said above, he bought me makeup for my birthday and I asked him why did he get this knowing I don’t wear makeup. Then he said he wants me to start wearing it every day because he likes seeing women with makeup on. He never said this before.[/quote]

As a 40yo PP who never wears makeup I am trying to imagine my DH doing this (so I can imagine my reaction/response) and I just can’t imagine it.  I can’t imagine him doing this.  It’s weird.  And it makes me think the affair-suspicious posters may have a point.  It makes no sense, has to be hiding or covering for something, though not necessarily an affair.  Maybe someone he cares about said something (friend, relative)?  Maybe he always cared a little, but not enough to mention and now he’s decided to mention it, maybe it’s the affair explanation.  I don’t know, but it’s weird and I’d find it very unsettling.  I can imagine my DH having a secret preference for makeup, but not rolling it out the way you describe.  I don’t know how much help the internet who doesn’t know your DH can be in this.  Yeah, it’s weird.  If done respectfully, I’d definitely consider it, but I’m not sure I’d consider the way your DH did it respectful.  That’s really something only you can determine.[/quote]

I mean, I’m 39 and I’m starting to show some age. I haven’t had any skin issues whatsoever until maybe the last year or so. I could always get away with wearing no makeup and my skin still looking fresh. But now, I’m starting to get some hormonal melasma spots and I can definitely tell my skin is drier. Could it be that you’re starting to show wear and tear? I pretty much only wear makeup to work and to go out places (and it’s not a lot, but enough to even out and brighten my skin tone) and nothing most of the time I’m at home with my husband or running errands on the weekend. Perhaps he’s trying to tell you that you’re not really pulling off the no-makeup thing like you used to be able to get away with. I wouldn’t have a problem if my husband told me that; I’d appreciate his honesty. You should be able to be honest with your spouse. [/quote]
