She Had Lip Injections Done Even Though Her Boyfriend Was Against It So He Ended Up Canceling The Plans He Had To Propose To Her Over It
A 26-year-old woman has been dating her 30-year-old boyfriend for around 2 and a half years now, and their relationship does have its issues.
Her boyfriend summarizes their relationship as “a roller coaster” though they both are in love and best friends.
Since before she even met her boyfriend, she has had problems with her confidence and self-esteem.
She has always planned on getting work done on her teeth, in addition to laser hair removal and lip injections.
Her boyfriend didn’t have a problem with fixing her teeth and getting the laser hair removal, but as soon as she said she wanted the lip injections he was completely against it.
“He always said no, and once he said he wouldn’t continue being with me if I went through with it,” she said.
“He thinks I am (was) already beautiful and didn’t need to change anything about myself. This month I knew he was supposed to propose to me.”
“He bought a beautiful ring with his mom and sister and he planned an intimate surprise proposal for me.”
“He had told my mom so that she would be in on it. He really did put in a lot of effort, despite us going through some rough patches. He got a photographer for the surprise proposal as well.”

So, her boyfriend had this amazing proposal all planned out as a surprise for her, and she thought that in order to look her best, she should go through with the lip injections.
She did just that, but she never realized how bad it would be. The numbing cream wore off as she got the injections done, which really hurt, and then afterward, things got worse.
In the 72 hours that followed her injections, her lips swelled up, began bleeding, and they also started tearing.
Nobody told her these could all be side effects, and she was concerned that her lips might permanently be damaged (luckily, that wasn’t the case, but she had no way of knowing at the time).
She never told her boyfriend that she was going through with the injections since he was so opposed to her having this done, but 24 hours after her injections, she told him what she did over text.
Her boyfriend was so beside himself that he wasted no time canceling the surprise proposal he had invested so much into.
She was crushed, and she had no idea he would react the way that he did.
“I apologized a lot but I also felt embarrassed,” she said. “He had the ring and everything was going so well in our relationship. I’m sure he felt embarrassed too as his family and friends knew about this plan.”
Since her boyfriend canceled the proposal, she’s been trying to speak to him and overcome all of this, but she’s not sure if he’s going to propose to her again…
…Especially since she thinks she’s going to want to get lip injections again, as she loves how they make her lips look now.

“For him, this is a dealbreaker as he understands there are physical side effects and psychological effects of doing fillers and botox, and he also doesn’t want his future children to be dabbling with this,” she continued.
She’s concerned about having to choose between her boyfriend and lip injections.
“He’s been good to me, always, and I broke his trust and his heart,” she admitted. She really isn’t sure how they can put this all behind them at this point.
She also isn’t sure how to convey to her boyfriend that wanting lip injections does not change the person that she is.
What do you think she should do?
