**Bruh, AITA for Refusing to "Pare Down" My 47-Step Skincare Routine Because My Boyfriend Said It's Giving "Chemical Waste Dump"?**
Bruh, AITA for refusing to “pare down” my 47-step skincare routine because my boyfriend said it’s giving “chemical waste dump”?
So I (26F) have been with my BF (28M) for 3 years. He’s all about “minimalism” and “sustainability,” which is cute until he starts side-eyeing my 12 different serums like I’m personally choking a dolphin.
Yesterday, he told me my skincare “pare” (his words, bud 🙄) is “excessive” and that I should just use water and coconut oil like his gran did in 1942. I told him if he wanted me to “pare down,” he could start by paring his collection of fedoras. He called me “materialistic.” I called him a “hat fish.”
Now his mom is texting me paragraphs about “consumerism and the male gaze.” AITA for refusing to simplify my shelfie?
TL;DR: BF wants me to ditch my sacred skincare tower, I said “no, you first,” and now his mom is fighting the patriarchy in my DMs.
