What is your opinion about waking up before your SO so he can't see you barefaced?

I used to sleep in my makeup to avoid being barefaced around my then boyfriend. I was an insecure teenager and I was in the peak of my love for makeup. He never made me feel bad about myself when he did see me without makeup. But more importantly, he never made me feel bad for being self conscious enough to do something that dumb. I grew out of it the more comfortable I became in my own skin. Now I barely wear makeup at all.

I think it's a horrible thing to be so self conscious of the way you are in your natural state. But I also understand. I hope people that feel this way and do that are able to overcome it and I hope other people can empathise and not judge them for it.
