I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.

I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

I wear makeup to hide ugly scars on my face. With my makeup on no one ever knows that I have them. Only my family has ever seen me without my makeup. My boyfriend of one year is getting fed up with me. He cant accept the fact that he cant see me as sporadically as he'd like. When he comes over unannounced I make him wait 10 or 20 mins while I fix myself up. He says that he loves me no matter what.. and yet he is always saying the best thing about me is my beauty. Should I reveal to him how I truly look and risk losing him? Or save face and let him be upset? (link)
If you really want to be loved for who you are, it might be time to take off the protective mask - your makeup.

Love isn't about flawless skin OR scars. It's about accepting someone for who they are, caring deeply for them, and helping them reach your true potential.

Maybe the beauty your boyfriend is referring to is your inner beauty. Maybe he'd think you were gorous no matter what.

Try. If he leaves you, then that's a fairly shallow relationship. If not, you'll know he really cares...and you'll probably also build your confidence up.

Best of luck.
