Joshua Sullivan+FollowMy Roommate Destroyed My Makeup ‘As a Joke’—But It Revealed Something DeeperI never expected my roommate to be the one to shake my confidence. I'm 22, living with two friends while finishing my design degree. One of them—let’s call her M—has always made passive comments about my makeup. “You’d look better without all that stuff.” “Why not let your skin breathe?” I used to laugh it off. But one morning, while I was getting ready for a presentation, I found my makeup bag soaking in the bathroom sink. My foundation, concealer, and brushes—ruined. M stood behind me, smirking. “Now you can finally go natural,” she said, like it was some kind of intervention. I didn’t know what to feel. Was this supposed to be tough love? A prank? Or was it something more malicious? Later, I realized: it was never about makeup. It was about control. Someone who disrespects your autonomy—whether it’s a partner or a roommate—is not “helping.” They’re crossing a boundary. I’ve moved out. I’ve replaced my kit. And I’ll never let anyone dictate what makes me feel beautiful again. #NotAFunnyJoke #BeautyIsMyChoice #ControllingBehavior #ToxicRoommateAlert #RespectBoundaries #CosmeticControl #YourBodyYourRules 2511Share
joycelinda+Followhe said he'd burn the car seat if i buy oneSo apparently me buying a baby car seat for my own car with my own money is a massive betrayal. My husband says I don’t need one because his car will “always be available” and that I’d just be wasting money. When I brought up needing it in case of an emergency—like if our baby gets sick while he’s gone—he straight up said “that won’t happen.” Then he doubled down and told me if I go ahead and buy one, he’ll burn the car seat we already have?? He also won’t let me visit my parents without him (they live a few hours away), and he says wanting to go without him means I don’t love him. I don’t even know what to do anymore. Anyone been through something like this? #relationshipadvice #controllingbehavior #momlife44100Share
