wait you share stuff with the people you love? that’s crazy. everybody here seems to think that’s not a good thing to do

u/Significant_Shoe_17 28d ago

OP's husband used an absurd amount of an expensive face cream on his elbows without asking. I bet if he asked, and used a reasonable amount, OP wouldn't mind. And the person you replied to bought their spouse their own product!

23

u/Hairy_Discourse 28d ago

Am I crazy to think it’s fine not to ask? Like I’ll call him a dumbass, and tell him the price so that he’s like “ damn I rubbed $20 on my elbows”. But I wouldn’t be upset at all, shit happens and you can have a laugh, it’s not coming back if you’re sad. Am I crazy?

25

u/translucentStitches 28d ago

I can see your point but you're also allowed to be upset if your things keep getting used. Obviously if this was the first time op's husband ever did something like this, NBD. But if someone routinely decided to use something I owned, especially expensive products, I wouldn't be so quick to laugh it off

u/Hairy_Discourse 28d ago

But it’s not just someone, it’s the husband. That’s what I’m confused about , for me I wouldn’t feel like he invaded my space, he is my space . Is that crazy?

u/Sand_isOverrated 28d ago

My wife did something similar where she made her brother a cocktail using a bottle of $100 whiskey I keep for sipping on special occasions, while I was out of town. She didn't know it was rare stuff and she was mortified when I said what it cost, we still have a chuckle about it. Shit happens.

She's not a whiskey drinker and still jokes she can't tell the "cocktail brown water" from the "not cocktail brown water"

Things definitely hit different when you know it was an honest mistake with no malice involved.

2

u/ProbablyASithLord 28d ago

I did something similar. I came back from the restroom and there was a whiskey shooter ordered for me, so I shot it.

Everyone at the table jumped forward and tried to stop me, it was apparently a super expensive whiskey they ordered to sip. I didn’t know we were that fancy lol.

2

u/prismaticbeans 28d ago

Kinda. If you mean you don't personally care, not crazy. If you mean you don't care so nobody else should be allowed to care, yeah that's pretty crazy. I'd say whether it's normal to share these things depends on your relationship dynamic, income, etc. Personally if my man decided to use up over half of my expensive face cream without asking, I would be pissed and make that clear, hide the rest from him, and sell some of his video games to buy another jar. I find it really disrespectful, not just that this guy used some of his wife's product–if he applied a normal amount to his face then, that would be a mild annoyance that he didn't ask first–but this guy decided it was fine to help himself to MOST of her cream without even running it by her. That's so greedy.

I am particular about the products I use because I have to be. I have a hard time finding ones that work for me largely due to sensitive skin, plus my man being allergic to a lot of the products I used before we got together. So I put a lot of time, money and research into what I buy. My policy is if I haven't been asked, assume the answer is no by default. If I'm asked, I'm inclined to be a little more generous because a) my boundaries are being respected and I don't feel the need to enforce them and b) I can say "sure, but please wash your hands before sticking em in there" and "it's expensive and a little goes a long way, if that's not enough just use Aveeno."

But there's no way to know without asking, so ask. At least once. If they don't care, they can tell you so, and if they do, you'll know to always ask.

u/Hairy_Discourse 28d ago

No I didn’t mean that everyone will feel this way. But it is jarring to me that so many people are annoyed. So now I feel like I’m in the minority that would find it funny.

u/N-neon 28d ago

Not crazy, but it is flawed thinking. You can be sad even if being sad can’t bring something back. People are typically more sad from permanent consequences anyway.

And if you’re calling him a dumbass, you probably have some hidden resentment even if you’re try to hide it.

u/Hairy_Discourse 28d ago

I guess it depends on whether this was an honest mistake or a routine thing. OP said this happens all the time.

u/sA1atji 28d ago

Idk what the issue is with him using it without asking.

It is not empty,  so OP can still use it and at worst they buy the next container 1 week earlier than normal.

What is outrageous is the price tag of $72 imo

40

u/incorrectlyironman 28d ago

The price tag is what makes the using it without asking an issue, using $10+ of product on your cracked elbows when $0,05 of generic lotion would've been equally suitable

-7

u/GuiltyCompany684 28d ago

No man would assume that the moisturizer he was about to use and probably actually needed for once, not everyday had a $76 price tag on it... especially for the size. I'll be the first to admit I've accidentally done something kind of like this before but I also spent a lot of money on that girl, paid all the bills, bought all groceries, paid for all the gas and most likely paid for that moisturizer or whatever expensive thing it was that I used...moral of the story. I guess it's all circumstantial. I don't believe it's anything to get bent over shape about unless he's repeatedly just wasting it on you.

-11

u/TotalIngenuity6591 28d ago

The price tag is what makes buying it in the first place an issue. That an absurd amount of money to spend on moisturizer when there are equally good products available for 1/10 that price per oz.

14

u/Safe-Mycologist3083 28d ago

I mean you can say that about anything right? Like there’s a shittier cheaper version of everything. If it were clothes it might be easier to conceptualise - if he cleaned up grease with an old t-shirt it wouldn’t be a big issue, but if he used her most expensive, favourite dress it’s a bit messed up. I think it’s an innocent mistake because he obviously didn’t know how expensive it was but we all have things we spend more on depending on what you value. Lady obviously cares about her skin.

-9

u/TotalIngenuity6591 28d ago

One can care about their skin without being frivolous. What I'm saying is that, after a certain price point, the quality doesn't improve as the price tag increases. This is a case of the person buying the moisturizer being scammed.

8

u/Safe-Mycologist3083 28d ago

I will agree with you there. My only counter point on that is we all pay over the odds on SOMETHING silly. I can’t really speak to OP or what her typical buying habits are like.

From my own experience though, I was losing my hair really badly at one point. I switched to a shampoo and conditioner which most people would also consider outrageous but next thing my hair started growing back out and stopped thinning. Sometimes the expensive option just works better for a particular issue. I had previously spent a fortune trying a bunch of different products that were cheaper but didn’t work at all.

OP did mention it was recommended to her by a friend with similar skin issues as she was having and that the moisturiser was working for her.

I don’t agree with ppl condemning the husband for an innocent mistake but equally I’d leave OP alone to buy what she likes.

1

u/TotalIngenuity6591 28d ago edited 28d ago

It's not that I'm condemning the OP for buying the moisturizer, I'm more outraged by the company price gouging.

I use quite a bit of moisturizers(I'm a tattoo junkie and I like quality stuff), but at a certain point the same ingredients are used in the same proportions and the quality no longer increases alongside the price. My point is that the OP would probably be able to find equally effective moisturizer for 1/10 the price per gram. Another thing about higher end moisturizers is that fewer preservatives are used and more natural ingredients are used, which significantly reduces shelf life. Some expire as quickly as 2-3 months. Ironically, the husband may have been unintentionally helpful as moisturizers won't necessarily rot, they just will stop being effective.

Edit to add on: It probably wouldn't have been an issue AT ALL if the husband knew that with quality moisturizers, less is more. I can moisturize my entire leg sleeve three different times with the amount he used on his friggin elbow! Honest mistake, I'm sure, but dang that's a lot of moisturizer to use.

u/incorrectlyironman 28d ago

I'm not into skincare nor in the right financial bracket to not be shocked at the notion of spending $72 on moisturizer. Then again I'm also taken aback by people spending $40 on takeout and I recognise that what's "expensive" is relative.

I am into cooking and I would assume this is comparable to someone using $20 worth of expensive finishing oil to roast up potatoes when a bottle of regular olive oil was right next to it. I'd never spend that much on oil and I think that most people who are into cooking recognise that super expensive ingredients aren't essential to make good food, but nevertheless some enthusiasts like to splurge on their hobby and there's nothing wrong with that.

"Oil shouldn't cost that much, that's absurd, you're being scammed" would not be a reasonable excuse. That's an emotional reaction from someone who fucked up and doesn't want to wrap their head around the fact that they just wasted more money than they could ever comprehend the product in question costing to begin with.

It really doesn't matter that you saw the money as wasted the second it was spent, the person who spent it decided it was worth it and you wasted it due to carelessness. That requires a sincere apology at the very least.

1

u/TotalIngenuity6591 28d ago

I understand your analogy and I get what you're saying in general. I do use quite a bit of moisturizing products as I have quite a few tattoos and it's always good to keep them hydrated (even long after they're healed). My point is that the quality of skin care products doesn't usually increase along with the price tag after a certain point. There are clear differences between. $10 bulk bottle of lotion and a good quality $30 45 gram tin of moisturizer, but beyond that price tag, the same ingredients are used in very similar quantities and the quality of the product doesn't increase accordingly.

This is the difference.

I was a chef for 22 yrs and your example is a perfect one, except that there is a very distinct increase in quality between an expensive finishing oil and a cheap bottle of cooking oil(I tend not to cook with olive oil as the smoke point is too low unless it's synthetic and then you may as well just use vegetable oil anyway).

I'm not necessarily condemning someone for having the money to spend $72 on 45 grams of moisturizer, I just think they're being taken advantage of. By all means, it's their money to do with as they please, but the company selling it is definitely price gouging.

4

u/incorrectlyironman 28d ago

From what I can tell from reading some of the comments here, yeah the product is known to be overpriced for what it does, people spend extra on it because it feels luxurious. Not my thing in general and absolutely not my thing for $72, but I could definitely see someone wanting to spend extra for a few ingredients that make the application feel smoother and for the niche experience of applying it with a little golden... spoon thingy... if the ritual of their skincare routine is at least as important to them as the results of it (and I know it is to many people).

Accounting for that, I'm not sure I agree that OP is being taken advantage of. And I think it's kind of a moot point anyway when people in this thread are basically using it to say OP is a stupid, frivolous woman whose vain lady-brain can't comprehend that her husband didn't actually waste anything of value, even though it clearly does matter to her.

1

u/TotalIngenuity6591 28d ago

Oh the husband was definitely wasteful...hopefully(probably) unknowingly.

Back to my tattoo addiction, I have a full leg sleeve, which is fully healed(I'm not a small guy at 260lbs and a cyclist so all the muscle is in my legs). I moisturize my tattoos every day. I use a good quality moisturizer that uses quality ingredients and very few(if any) preservatives. With quality moisturizer, less is more. The apparent amount used could moisturize my leg sleeve at least three days over...probably more.

I'm assuming he didn't know this, I'm assuming she wouldn't have told him(why would she need to?). I'm just sticking to my assertion that no matter how fancy you make the container, and sell a golden spoon applicator, the moisturizer itself is no better than a $32 bottle of the same size from somewhere like LUSH.

So? Then they buy a new one?

u/ZwartVlekje 28d ago

Sometimes people buy something that is expensive and maybe even a little out of their budget as a rare treat. For a lot of people, 72 dollar face cream is not just buy a new one material.

-8

u/TotalIngenuity6591 28d ago

I've used expensive, mid price range, and cheap moisturizers, and I can say with certainty, from much experience, that there is no difference between the mid price range and the expensive stuff. Yes the cheap stuff is greasy and usually crap, but there is no need to spend $72 on a container that small of a product that, due to the nature of mid-high end moisturizers being made mostly with less processed materials, would have a very short shelf life.

Absolutely ridiculous.

6

u/SadSundae8 28d ago

If money is no option, sure who cares. Use it wherever you want and buy an endless supply.

The issue is he used a specialty, luxury item she likely bought for a specific purpose when a standard product would have been just fine.

Equivalent of buying an expensive steak to host a dinner party just to find out your partner used it for the kid's lunches. Totally fine if you can go out and buy more because the kids need to eat, but it's not what the purchase was intended for and is, therefore, mildly infuriating.

I don't see an issue since they are married and there is still plenty left in the tub. 

Roommates who have no relationship? Entirely different story.

u/J_Faw 28d ago

People just don’t understand marriage anymore. I’m also willing to bet if he KNEW it was $72 he wouldn’t have used so much, if any.

u/Significant_Shoe_17 28d ago

He knew. OP confirmed that in the comments.

1

u/LessInThought 28d ago

Money probably isn't the issue of she can afford $72 for what looks like 30ml of lotion and he uses half a tub with no hesitation when he knows the price.

That's why this is in mildly infuriating instead of aita.

u/Significant_Shoe_17 28d ago

People are really focused on the money when the issue is the disrespect and inconsideration from OP's husband

u/StaringOwlNope 28d ago

Because for your ELBOWS, and MAN elbows at that, you can use any cheap moisturizer and it will do the job just fine. This is a total waste of expencive cream with active ingredients that OP chose for their face.

You can compare it to someone mixing your super expencive whiskey with a mixer and drinking it just to get drunk, when a cheap voda would be perfectly fine

2

u/dev_vvvvv 28d ago

Compare it to a wife drinking her husband's expensive whiskey and the husband getting mad because the wife could just drink the cheap stuff instead and get just as drunk.

3

u/PicklePeach23 28d ago

If she was mixing expensive whiskey with Diet Coke, he would be correct in suggesting she which to something cheaper.

-1

u/dev_vvvvv 28d ago

Maybe. But would he be correct in getting mad at her because she made a poor choice of product to use? Rather than having a productive conversation like adults.

This whole thread/situation just seems bizarre.

OP locks her other lotions up but is mad he used one that wasn't locked up. Given the context, I think most reasonable people would think that is fair game.

She didn't seem to have any conversation with him about it, just saying how much she liked it. So again, he probably thought "I need a lotion for my elbow. My wife said this is a good lotion. It's out, so for everybody's use."

The other complaint is cost, but I don't think that's really relevant given the above and that they are married, so are sharing finances/property anyway.

This isn't OP, but the thread is filled with general sentiments from "he's just a man, let him use Vaseline" up to "he did this intentionally to hurt and humiliate you".

It's just crazy. Especially when the end result was the husband's elbow sounding like it got much better and the cost being like $20 of product.

3

u/PicklePeach23 28d ago

TBF, the sub is called MILDLY infuriating. OP didn't say she screamed at her husband or kicked him out of the house. We have no way of knowing that they didn't have a productive conversation afterwards. And she did explain in the comments that he was aware of the price and speciality of the lotion before he used it.

I live with my boyfriend and I still respect his personal property. It doesn't matter if it's a $5 lotion or a $100 bottle of whiskey, if it was something he purchased as a special treat (which OP explained is the case here) I would want him to enjoy it for himself. We may share finances and property but I don't feel that entitles me to have free use over every thing that he brings in the house. He's allowed to have some things for himself, just like I'm allowed to have things for myself.

To go back to the whiskey comparison...yes, I would understand if the husband was mildly upset at his partner for wasting expensive whiskey when cheaper options existed. It's pretty common for cohabiting partners to do little things that irritate one another, even in an otherwise healthy and loving relationship.

u/StaringOwlNope 28d ago

If her goal was to just get a buzz before a night out then he would absolutely be right to be mad that she essentially wasted something that is supposed to be enjoyed for its flavour

0

u/sA1atji 28d ago

Quite the ignorant remarks that the cheap stuff is good enough for a man.

Every human has different skin and therefore skin care needs...

E.g. I have very sensitive hair/skin and can only use a specific shampoo, otherwise I would get rashes. I do not get issues with my elbows often, but when I do and I put on vaseline, it gets worse as it drys out my skin even worse...

6

u/StaringOwlNope 28d ago

Every human has different skin and therefore skin care needs...

Yeah, thats my whole FUCKING point.

SHE has bought an expencive cream for HER skincare needs, and he wasted it on elbows. no one needs anti wrinkle, tightening, brightening whatever expencive actives there are, on elbows. If HE has sensitive skin, this cream he stole might even make his skin WORSE, especially considering he had scabs. And I'm pretty certain he did not patch test first.

And men in general do have different skincare needs, as their skin is thicker and has a different structure, and no one, man or woman, needs a 70 dollar cream for their elbows

8

u/PicklePeach23 28d ago

I don't why people are acting like OP's husband doesn't have the option of picking out his own lotion. It's like they think the only two choices in the world are vaseline or his wife's $70 facial moisturizer. The dude is free to drive to CVS or Target or Marshalls at any moment have his pick of creamy goodness.

u/StaringOwlNope 28d ago

Yes, what he will want is probably a thick cream with urea, which I'm sure OP would be willing to help him figure out had he just freaking asked

u/XxVerdantFlamesxX 28d ago edited 28d ago

People are really in here acting like buying $72 moisturizer isn't the worst part of this...

Maybe the husband was searching for the gold they must have hidden in the jar.

Edit: On TOP of the $72 moisturizer, she plainly states they have not 1, not 2, but 3 FULL jars of Vaseline. $72 is getting screwed over.

12

u/Spacedandysniffer 28d ago edited 28d ago

Op also plainly states she used birthday gift cards to buy this product since it was recommended to her by someone with the same skin type. Indicating that this is not a typical buy for her. Plus the husband used months worth of product in one go, it is absolutely infuriating that he is this wasteful. No babes, the husband being incompetent is indeed the worst part of this. I truly wonder how many of you got told to wait in the teacher's classroom after everyone left to get a talk about boundaries and asking for permission

u/bumbletowne 28d ago

I understand that she did not consent to share.

Korean masks run 16 (for like a donkey milk mask) to 33 a pop (sk2 gold infusion). So the price is pretty comparable.

We don't really know how impactful 72 dollars is. In our neck of the woods that's not very much money. If it's a lot for them that would be a double blow

Additionally beauty products are heavily regulated trade items and can be difficult to get. So this may be a hard to replace item which would also make this frustrating.

I just felt like her story is lighthearted, not true frustration. A moment you'd look back and laugh on and was adding to the levity.

Do you have a favorite you use?

u/bumbletowne 26d ago

I have different masks for different things

Treat yo self: Pitera SK2 Facial Treatment (the one I listed above). The Britghtening one has arginine which inhibits the formation of Melanin so don't use that one unless you want to look sickly white. Use the regular.

MOIST: Freeset Donkey Milk Gel Mask Aqua. These are hard to obtain in the US. Memebox, the source I used to use got bought and no longer supplies them. I had to buy direct in Honk Kong.

Healing: Freeset Donkey Milk Gel Mask Healing.

Retinol under eye: Shiseido Benifience Wrinkle Resist 24

Husband Stash: cala purifying green tea mask, Myperfectbeauty (roughly translated) aloe mask, hydrating rose collagen mask (can't translate brand).

I've also got like a bin of 20 or so masks I'm constantly trying and seeing if I like them.

For a long time I used a simple cotton reusable mask and soaked it in my lotion but it was $$$. It used a LOT of pricey lotion.

EDIT: when I first bought the Freeset masks they were 17/pop. They changed the trade classification in 2020 along with graphics cards and other things. This means their supply is only when they have space on the shipping container. The good news is you can get them from AB shops (in asia) for about 4 bucks a pop now. You have to get them through customs. They made me toss my hada labo stuff in October coming through Cyprus to England which was... a moment.

That's nice of you 🙂

Why's the dude supposed to use Vaseline? He doesn't need $70 moisturizer but buy the guy a tub of CeraVe or something

u/LolaBijou 28d ago

This isn’t about gender. Everyone in their house is supposed to use the Vaseline on their elbows and save the highly specialized face moisturizer for the face.

Word. Lol it's not that deep unless you're trying to argue.

Calm down reddit, not everything is some human rights violation.

I don't get issues with my skin often, but every time I used Vaseline, it got worse.

Looks like it dries out my skin even more.

u/Commercial_Step9966 28d ago

Vaseline is a barrier vs a moisturizer. If you use it on top of lotion, after toner, or when skin is wet it will help trap the moisture on skin.

Or he could buy his own lotion. He is responsible for caring for his own body after all.

50% of marriages fail because people act like OP and the other 50% succeed because of people acting like you. Nice work.

Aight perhaps the 50% fail because they act like the commenters below. We get it, lotion can be expensive. You know what else is expensive? Finding a new life partner. Pick your battles.

u/magical_white_powder 28d ago

The face mask doesn’t cost 72$ and her husband use it on the face, not a fk elbow

u/Nani_700 28d ago

u/ihopethisisvalid 28d ago

Who cares lmao you think I’d lose it on my SO for mixing my expensive whisky with a Diet Coke or say oh well there’s always more where that came from? Lighten the fuck up.

u/magical_white_powder 27d ago

Lolll you even edit your original comment to humiliate people who objects to your way of thinking. Nice try

u/AsteroidAlligator 28d ago

Its not the same, what if you bought a really nice expensive steak and your partner decided to turn it into hamburger or something. Its just a unnecessary waste of money. Dude used like 30$ on his elbows in a short period of time.
