A 20-year-old woman recently faced an unexpected breakup. She was accused of “catfishing” her boyfriend when she went makeup-free. Her story highlights the unrealistic expectations some individuals have regarding appearance.
A woman revealed the breakdown of her relationship after going makeup-free.
The woman, believed to be from the US, shared her experience on Reddit. She suffers from hormonal acne and usually covers it with makeup. During six dates, she concealed her breakouts. However, on a weekend trip with friends, she decided to go bare-faced.
When her boyfriend first saw her without makeup, he reacted strangely. “He just looked at me a bit weird,” she recalled. Later, he expressed his shock, stating he didn’t know she had acne. Throughout the trip, he became distant and withdrawn.
A woman revealed that she broke up and is being accused of catfishing by her boyfriend.
Upon returning home, he ended their relationship. He claimed it would be best for both of them. He said, “I don’t like you anymore.” His final remark was that she shouldn’t lead people on.
‘When we got home that night, he said that it would be for the best to stop seeing each other because he doesn’t like me anymore. As the very last thing, he said that I shouldn’t lead people on like that.
‘At first, he didn’t say anything, just looked at me a bit weird. When we were alone, he just told me that he didn’t know I had acne like that. After that, he’s been acting distant the whole trip,’ she explained.
The woman felt devastated but also relieved. “I feel like I dodged a bullet here,” she said. However, his words haunted her, making her question if she truly misled him.
She shared her personal reflections on makeup
The woman admitted she uses makeup to cover her acne because it boosts her confidence. “I usually cover up my acne with makeup,” she explained. “It’s the only thing I do on my face.”
She mentioned that this was the first time her boyfriend had seen her without makeup. Unfortunately, her natural appearance shocked him throughout their trip.
Interestingly, she revealed that her ex-boyfriend had also broken up with his previous partner for changing her hairstyle. “He broke up with his ex because she cut her hair short,” she shared. This pattern raised questions about his standards and expectations.
Social media reactions to opinions on catfishing
The woman created a thread to seek opinions about her situation. She felt misunderstood and wanted feedback from a more diverse audience. Many Reddit users defended her, stating that wearing makeup does not equate to catfishing.
Additionally, many also criticized her ex-boyfriend for his shallow views. Others expressed how they value their partners despite their skin issues.
One commenter said: I was so disappointed when the girl I met on snap chat didn’t really have Dog ears and nose when I met her in real life. We only lasted one date…
A second wrote: Lmao. I asked my boyfriend if he would break up with me like this. His response, “idk but would you have like cream for it or something?”
While a third commented: I dont personally wear make up .. but it’s funny how people say it’s false advertising, but what about these guys with beards and then shave them.. it’s a pretty big difference.
Another added: I would not be that shallow. I would think she is beautiful no matter what
Someone else said: I wear makeup and I go without makeup it doesn’t change who I am and my fella loves me either way. U have to find the right guy who loves you with or without makeup
This woman’s experience underscores the importance of acceptance in relationships. Makeup can boost confidence, but it shouldn’t define someone’s worth.
