She Refused To Share Sunscreen With Her Boyfriend When They Went To The Beach On Christmas, So Now He Has A Bad Sunburn And Will Not Forgive Her
This twenty-two-year-old woman and her boyfriend, who is twenty-four, went to the beach on Christmas– because, apparently, that is actually quite a typical tradition where they live.
Anyway, it ended up being a pretty sunny day on December 25. So, if beachgoers did not take self-care measures– for instance, applying sunscreen– then they would likely get a sunburn.
Now, both of her parents just so happen to be dermatologists. And growing up with two very skin-health-conscious physicians as parents resulted in both her and her siblings being really aware of how important it is to protect your skin from the sun and practice a proper skincare routine every day.
Her boyfriend, on the other hand, reportedly could not care less about his skin. And according to her, it does not matter how many times her parents have tried to convince him to throw on a layer of sunscreen. He simply will not do it.
So, once they actually arrived at the beach on Christmas day, she immediately began putting on sunscreen as usual.
It came as a total shock, though, when her boyfriend asked if he could use some of her sunscreens, too.
Rather than being happy that he finally cared about his skin and agreeing to share, though, she actually just told her boyfriend no.
“I refused to share since it would not make sense to take care of your skin just once because he is not doing it again,” she reasoned.
Plus, she claims that her sunscreen is the one she wears on a daily basis. In turn, she believed it was meant to remain “personal.”

Understandably, though, her boyfriend just did not get that and actually got pretty mad at her for refusing to help him out.
Still, she never caved and instead just told him to put on a hoodie in order to minimize the sunburns!
Well, her boyfriend just thought that was plain ridiculous and never put a sweatshirt on. So, if you could not have guessed, he ended up getting some really bad sunburns.
In fact, his skin was apparently bright red and very hot to the touch, and her boyfriend was in a lot of pain.
And after that happened, he ended up blaming her for being selfish on the beach. More specifically, her boyfriend called her a total jerk for not sharing with him.
Plus, even though it has been days since Christmas passed, he is still refusing to forgive her.
“He says that he has not forgiven me yet because it hurts, and the sunburn has not faded,” she revealed.
Her boyfriend has even had to see her dad for a dermatology consult, who gave her boyfriend some sunburn relief.
But, after learning about what happened on Christmas, her dad has since called her out for being a total jerk, too.
Apparently, her dad claims that sharing some of the sunscreens with her boyfriend would have cost her nothing.
Her mom, on the other hand, has actually taken her side, though– claiming that the incident was her boyfriend’s fault since he refuses to use his own sunscreen and that the whole experience will teach him a much-needed lesson.
Despite having her mom’s support, though, she is still dealing with her dad and boyfriend being pretty pissed off at her. So now, she has been left wondering if refusing to share some sunscreen with her boyfriend on Christmas was actually a really rude thing to do or not.
Do you think sunscreen needs to remain “personal,” even if you use it every day? She claimed that it wouldn’t have made sense for her boyfriend to take care of his skin “just once,” but wouldn’t that have prevented his sunburn on Christmas? If you were in her boyfriend’s shoes, how would you have felt? Is she the jerk in this situation?
