My partner keeps pushing me to get my hair and nails done and he doesn't understand why it makes me feel bad

Maybe he’s just trying way to spice up the relationship? Wish my boyfriend offered this 😩😩
My first thought is immediately "he's going to propose!!" But idk what your situation is so maybe that doesn't apply lol
I’m a sahm and my partner does this, mainly eyelashes and nails. I do accept the offer. I have declined so it’s not like I’m being ungrateful and always saying yes. I think it’s because I’ve always had them done. And he’s even said it’s really weird seeing you without eyelashes. I just think he’s just trying to be nice and make you feel better. Though like you said it’s doing the opposite. Just talk to him, is there anything else he can offer you with, that you would appreciate more than having hairstyles and nails shoved in your face all the time? It doesn’t have to cost money either x
I mean I get where your man is coming from. Being a sahm I was wearing my crappy clothes, stains from kids, hair in a bun, no makeup, no lashes, no nails done. I was looking ROUGH. And honestly not feeling the best. Even while staying home I started brushing my hair, straightening or curling or trying dif hairstyles. I wore comfy clothes still but showed more skin, tighter fitting tops, maybe some v neck t shirts. Shorts leggings. Jeans. And you can still get a basic mani-pedi without getting Polish or do a clear coat or neutral color on your natural nails. I think keeping up with appearance and hygiene is important to keep things spicy in relationship. I’d rather do basic up-keeping than having my man look elsewhere 🤷🏻♀️. I think these are all great first steps and non drastic.
Ok thanks ladies you've definitely given me the kick I needed 😂 I think I'm definitely being too sensitive and overthinking things and probably a bit lazy too. Im going to get my hair and nails done and start feeling like a woman again, not just a frumpy mum. I'm sure I'll feel better for it just as much as him and it might spice things up a bit more. Thanks all 🥰
That’s nice of him to allow you to do this! We need to take care of ourselves too. I always get my hair done every 2-3 months, facials every months and pedicures every few months. My husband doesn’t mind at all and encourages me to take care of myself too. Self care is important for us ladies. Plus it always feels so nice to have new hair!! 😊😊 enjoy!!
My husband offers sometimes but it’s more to give me a break or spoil myself every once in a while. I’m a cosmetologist so I do my own nails but I like the offer to do something for myself ☺️
I m not that sort of girl either...seems to me like a waste of time and money...but I think it's men..they like to have all done up women next ro them..
Awww my partner does this and I’m the same sometimes just feel so rubbish and insecure I don’t even want to spend the time on myself but he’s just really worried I’m losing myself in motherhood and it sounds similar. He wants you to still be you and feel confident and sexy because that’s how he sees you. Enjoy it and let him spoil you and make you feel good, he obvs really loves you and cares about you xx
Aww I wish I had this opportunity. However that's me. If that's not comfortable for you. Maybe only do it once in a great while? Maybe next time wait until a really special occasion like your wedding anniversary?
