I have been seeing this guy romantically for a couple of weeks and he has been kind of rude to me on two occasions now. The first instance was last week when I was out hanging with some friends. I stayed out later than intended and did not have time to call him like we originally planned and he sent me a passive aggressive text saying that I didn’t seem interested in him. I reassured him that was not the case and I did not call him because I was busy and wouldn’t have time to have an attentive conversation. I did not want to call just for the sake of calling if I can’t give someone my full attention. Plus, 2/3 times I have hung out with him I drove an hour to see him so it’s an unfair assumption to say I do not seem interested. He apologized shortly after for the text he sent which I found refreshing

These last couple of days have been rough for him. He got lost hiking in a national forest yesterday and then today he wrecked his car heading home (nothing serious, just cosmetic damage and a busted tire). He was texting me stating that he did not know what to do because his spare was dry rotted and all the tire shops near him were closed. I called him to offer some solutions but he got snippy with me saying I was “stating the obvious” and basically my ideas were no good because he “isn’t made of money”. My feelings were hurt so I cut our phone call short so he could focus on what do and so I could cool off. He sent me a video apologizing and saying he felt bad for how he spoke to me. I know these last 2 days gave been very stressful for him and I’m trying to give him grace but I’m worried this is a character flaw of his and now I’m reconsidering moving things forward. I would be more willing to forgive him for how he spoke to me today if he hadn’t already lashed out at me last week when he wasn’t in a high stress situation. On one hand I think it’s nice he has the self awareness to apologize, but on the other hand I don’t want to be with someone I have to tiptoe around in order to not set him off. I do not think it’s fair to be rude to someone just because you apologize for it later but I realize we all fall short sometimes. In the grand scheme I’m worried if he’s already this comfortable talking to me this way then it’s surely to go downhill from here. AIO?

My skin texture is so uneven. I have been seeing a dermatologist for a little less than a year. Per my dermatologist, I wash my face twice a day with CLN cleanser, apply retinol & clindamycin at night, & I moisturize my face with Vannicream moisturizer as well as Epicerum to help improve my skin barrier. I also take 100mg of Spironolactone everyday. While my big breakouts have improved, my overall skin texture has remained horrible. I have these deep oily bumps imbedded into my face at all times. I am trying to cut out as much sugar as I can from my diet (I am bad about drinking soda), actively trying to stop touching my face as much, and I wash my bedding frequently. I feel so hopeless with my skins overall appearance. I think the water in my city is hard because I never struggled with my skin until I moved 7 years ago. Any advice is much appreciated because it feels like I have the most stubborn skin on the planet
