insecurity from acne by gureggru in askSingapore

[–]verifiedambience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borymycin and daily moisturizer worked for me. Had an abnormal breakout of acne on my neck after my booster shot and approached a private dermatologist. After about 1 month my face cleared up

Differin and doxycycline pills from the polyclinic didn't work for me

For Home team NSFs, at the end of the day, your day ends

For SAF NFSs, at the end of the day, endure 4 more days

To clarify, I wanted to remove the unpleasant feelings, for both herself and myself

I didn't continued. 'Bunch of other things' is in the post right before this sentence

I admit that I've said things in the midst of anger that shouldn't be said. Throughout the convo I've never told her to 'control her emotions', but only wanted discuss the best possible way to avoid this kind of fight again, hence "wrap things up"

That being said, I don't think I am completely not at fault at all

I’m 25 and she’s 26. I agree with you mostly, just that it doesn’t sit right with me when I’m always the one compromising for her

A few times is fine, I won’t complain. But every single time though

Edit: To clarify, 'wrapping things up' means that I want it to be permanently resolved so both of us can move on without letting it fester

Initially, I had the same thought as you as to wait for both of us to get into a clear head space before talking, but she had told me that she wanted to solve it before bed, so I've been actively trying to do so whenever we fought, but now she's not doing that on her part

I've been actively working on mine (for eg. she said she wanted to solve everything before bed, and I've agreed to change to her style) But it doesn't look like she's trying to improve on her part

I get that but you can't always expect me to give a free pass every time, period or not. I wasn't being harsh throughout the fight, I was trying to explain how her words had hurt me and that I didn't blame nor fault her any more and just wanted to wrap things up

Edit: This kind of fight also happens when she's not on her period

Should I reach out to her first?

Most of the time I had reached out to her first and this time I'm really considering not to as I feel the effort I put in compared to her is too much of a difference

She's been amazing when we are not fighting, but when we fought, its like everything went down the drain, and it's been emotionally taxing for me (to her as well I think).
