Dear Massi, My wife is obsessed with makeup.
I know a lot of women like makeup, but is it normal to put sellotape around her eyes when she does her eyeliner? It looks so weird.
And then she takes so many selfies when we're out.
I get really embarrassed and won't take pictures of her doing stupid poses. Last time we went out, she got a random stranger to take a picture of her in the toilets. Just because the lighting was better in there.
Then she posts all these pictures on Instagram using all these filters so she looks nothing like herself. And then she complains when men send her pervy messages.
I'm sick of her looking like someone else. If not's too much makeup it's the stupid filters that make her look flawless.
Massi says, It is perfectly reasonable for your wife to wear makeup to boost her self confidence and to make herself feel good.
Talk to your wife in a gentle manner not in an accusatory or judgmental way.
Explain to her that you prefer when she looks natural.
Also express to your wife how you value her company and that your time together should be spent talking to each other and communicating with each other rather than taking photos for social media.
