Why do you think my husband gets upset when I put make up on?

It's not even a lot, just a little bit of foundation to add color to my face. Every day he comes home from work and asks me if I put make up on that day. He even arranges my make up to see if its been moved. He's a great guy but I don't understand what the problem is.Why do you think my husband gets upset when I put make up on?
I guess he doesn't like makeup. Maybe he thinks you look better without it. I don't think its controlling behavior on his part.Why do you think my husband gets upset when I put make up on?
Well it could just be that some guys just don't like makeup. Ask yourself this: when you two were dating did he like you wearing makeup? When you got extra dressed up for a night on the town with more makeup than normal did he say you looked hot? If he never liked you wearing makeup or didn't seem to care one way or the other then he probably just thinks makeup is unnatural and unnecessary.





However! If he used to like it when you wore makeup then maybe he's suffering from paranoia. Maybe he doesn't want you to be dolling yourself all up while he's at work for some other guy! Jealousy is an ugly thing and I don't think men realize that sometimes women like to wear makeup even if they're not going anywhere just so they can enjoy looking in the mirror! Some men simply think that you're doing it to impress random people at the grocery store and whatnot. Silly I know. Have you tried just asking him what his problem is?
Explain to him that you have been using make up since you were a teenager and it is part of your routine. Tell him it makes you feel more normal and less like you stick out. I've been doing my make up exactly the same since I was 14, I'm 35 now. If I go out without make up on I feel hideous and naked. He is most likely thinking you dress up for other men but the fact is, women wear make up for ourselves. Tell him if you were dressing trashy, changing your routine or wearing different kinds of perfume all the time then he might have cause to worry.





And tell him you are an adult and can wear and do as you please and that you aren't doing anything wrong. Have a freak out on him every time he shaves until he gets the point.
wow you've got a problem sweetie. being with someone controlling will not turn out good. maybe it's something that he was taught growing up and has a problem with woman especially his own wife wearing make up. why don't you just ask him but ask him very carefully, if things escalates to a fight then just drop it and i would consider other options with finding help about being in controlling relationships.
Sounds a wee bit controlling to me. What response did he provide when you asked why he cares why you wear makeup? I think you should stand up for yourself. You can be controlled only as much as you allow.





I didn't wear any makeup when I met my husband. I think I was married to him for a couple of years before I really started. He encouraged me to wear it if I wanted, but said I'm pretty without it.





Of course he probably says that because its $42 a bottle for foundation. Ever try to find a good mascara for under $12???
I think my wife is plenty beautiful without makeup.


She doesn't - because like many girls, she is not as beautiful as she wishes she was.





When I ask her not to wear make-up, it is not about insecurity or control. It is about intimacy. I am asking her to be the most beautiful person in the world to me: herself. It is a genuine and legitimate appeal.





When she can not bring herself to do it, I feel like her fear and insecurity are more important to her than our relationship and more important to her than me. She asks me to do plenty of things that my male baggage yells ';NO'; to, but I do them. When I do them, and she doesn't - I feel invalidated. I feel like maybe she does not love me as much as I love her, or is not as committed to me as I am to her. I feel alone and inappropriately undervalued. Even if she had no love at all, and only a little respect - she could do what I asked out of respect for me - and she doesn't even do that.





Asymmetric commitment, not being more important to her than serving her fear, and not being respected at all - those are bitter pills to swallow.
your man is insecure...obviously he thinks your putting on make up to look hot for another guy! my husband used to be that way but i'd put it in anyway eye liner, mascara, eye shadow, lipstick, lip gloss and from then when i started using sure he will throw a fit and acuse me that im trying to look hot for another man but i know i'd knew better and that was not my intentions so i put it on anyways and he had got over it :)
I am going to go with the little bit insecure and controlling theory. I put mine on because I want to look better for me and so as not to scare small children into therapy about seeing the boogyman. I save the ';hooker'; makeup for when my husband and I go out together.
One of three things possibly:





1. He thinks you're beautiful and feels makeup hides/ruins it





2. He thinks you are putting makeup on for someone else





3. He wants you to keep you looks toned down due to irrational jealousy.








You know your husband best. I'm sure you can pick one of these quite confidently and there is your answer.
um... that's just a little strange!





Tell him to leave your makeup alone and if you want to wear it, you can. He sounds like he's trying to control you.





My husband used to not like it when I wore makeup.. but now I wear it everyday and when I don't, he'll be like ';you should put on some makeup';
he is just a little bit more controlling then he should be and probably insecure ,prob you look amazing with make up so he is afraid someone else might see it too


just want to know did you meet him wearing make up ?


cause if thats the case i guess he just loves you for who you are
Evidentally you look good in it and instead of complimenting you and being proud of having a beautiful wife, he's insecure, he needs to control you by keeping you from wearing it or lowering your self esteem which will make him feel other men will find you less attractive.
Sounds like a control freak to me. Maybe he's insecure and he thinks that if you wear makeup you'll find another man and leave him. I'm willing to bet that this isn't the only thing in your life that he's trying to control tho. Potentially HUGE problem. Be careful.
He's using that as a way to attempt to control you. Why doesn't he just tape a hair over the ignition on your car, or count the mileage on the odometer? Sheesh.
maybe he feels you don't need it but he's also to uptight about it it's a beautiful thing when a woman looks good but it also attracts others so maybe he doesn't want someone hitting one you
he sounds very controlling and insecure like he may have a jealousy problem. I feel bad for you, that is no way to live...grow a back bone hun.
He is insecure and thinks you are hot..so everyone else will think you are hot and you will leave him!





Its a form of control.





Nip it in the bud now or it will just get worse.
';dunno'; had it right....he is insecure and controlling. He thinks if you put make up on and look nice someone else will want you and you will leave him. Doesn't sound very healthy to me.
He's controlling and insecure.
have you gone along time without it? maybe he thinks your putting on makeup for another guy? talk to him about it.
Maybe he can't deal with you looking HOT!
So, how else does he control you?
That's crap.....that is controlling and BS as far as this man is concerned
