Choosing Makeup Over Quality Time

[Windmill]

So here is the issue. I have a wonderful, beautiful girlfriend, who for the most part, treats me exceptionally well. We have been dating for almost 6 months, in our early 20's, both Christians, and talking about marriage. However, I am deeply concerned with her priorities and the reasons behind her decisions. I rarely ask for advice, but I am truly stumped and need as many opinions on this matter as possible from both christian men and women. Below is the exact conversation over texting with my girlfriend. Please reply with your opinion on the matter and a piece of advice in how to handle this.

Me: “What do you choose at the end of the day... more time time with your man or ten extra mins on your make up…”

Her: “I choose make-up. I will wear make-up for the rest of my life. I will always be something I do. If that’s an issue for you, you either get used to it or be challenging me forever on it, which is annoying.”

Me: “WOW… well I have some thinking to do.”

Her: “I suppose you do. But you’ve always known I’m not giving up make-up.”

Me: “I never asked you to.”

Her: “Well then don’t ask me to give up my time doing it.”


Please respond. Thank you so much.

If you love her, you won't break up with her over her desire to apply makeup. If you don't love her, then you might choose to do so.

Simple. Love is so strong, that if presented with this apparent delemna, love would go, "well I want you to spend time with me, of course! I don't like this but OH WELL its your choice!" And go back to how things were.

People don't always do everything we want them to do. Sometimes, you'll want to do something over seeing your gf. We all have our own interests. So what? In the end, its a petty matter, and its insulting to her that you're even having some "thinking to do" over the relationship.

Especially over 10 minutes.
