The Truth About Keeping Up Your Looks In A Committed Relationship
- By

Where does the resentment get you?
Look, I have gone through periods when I resented the societal standards of beauty I face. I’ve gone through times when I thought, “My partner should love me even if I look like crap all day!” So, to protest, I did look like crap all day, for several days. And…it wasn’t as gratifying as I thought it would be. In fact, looking in the mirror made me sad, and I felt insecure—worrying my partner didn’t find me attractive. Nothing good came of it. So, maybe I should, ya know, brush my hair sometimes. It’s a pretty simple fix.
