Well insaw the the dark dot pretty quickly but I had to stare at the pic for a looooong time to see the second on going up and down.
I dont thing they are a big deal.
Plus he's your boyfriend and this was a legit medical thing, I doubt he's going to care, if he does he's not a good boyfriend🤷♂️.
Not to be a dick but I think you are making a big deal out of nothing. I know you wish the scares weren't there but they are, they were necessary, they aren't your fault and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon so it's not worth being bummed about.
You could maybe try some of that lotion that's suppose to reduce stretch Mark's, that might lighten them up over time.
Don't try to hide it because he will more than likely see it at some point. It is a part of you and nothing you should be ashamed of, especially given that circumstance on why it is there. You had no control with that.
Put it this way, I got some scars on my body and so does my girlfriend. Every time I see them I always kiss them or rub them. She is still my girl, nothing has changed. Scars are just a reminder of things that happened in the past, both literally and metaphorically.
Think of it in a cool way. "Scars are just proof that I was stronger than whatever tried to kill me."
u How you handle things now sets the tone for how you will handle sensitive matters in the future. If he had something like this to reveal to you, how would you hope that he would proceed?
Just embrace it and explain it and look to the future ya could go so far as to point out that he's one of the things that is keeping you mentally and physically motivated to stay healthy and end the story with a sweet cutesy ending. Ending it with him being like a rock that helping you move forward past what has happened.
At worst he might question you about what it was like though. And maybe will trace the scar out of imagining what it must have been like but then go back if you are meeting like in person. To hugging you XD. I doubt he's going to think bad about it other than pushing you to continue to live healthy so you don't end up on the tube a second time.
Hannah you should not be embarrassed about your scars. You went down a tough road and you came back a fighter. You are a SURVIVOR. Instead of being embarrassed, you should be proud of them. You faught for your life at a young age. There is nothing wrong with having scars. My dad used to call them battle wounds. They are like a badge of honor. You had health issues so you went in to fight. You faught a tough battle and you came back a winner.
Hannah, show those scars to your boyfriend and be proud of them. You are a stronger woman because of those scars.
I would want to see all of you if your my girl, scars and all. Men don’t need perfect, we want ‘perfect for us’ and we love you with scars health problems and all. We don’t do ‘grocery lists’ like a lot of women do. Women don’t have to be afraid to be there true selves with the right guy.
Hey I, personally think that it looks Perfectly fine because believe it or not I too have the EXACT Same thing/scar as well because I was in a Terrible Car crash/Accident my Junior Year in High School and I had to end up getting a Feeding Tube as well and/so I have the SAME EXACT Scar from when I myself had a Feeding Tube BUT when I had a Feeding Tube I was in a Coma (for Only a Month, THANK GOD) and/so I, personally am Perfectly 100% Fine with having a Feeding Tube Scar on the side of my Stomach.
Girl, you're willing to post on social media but not show your boyfriend, that you should be sharing your most intimate details? Scars are life's way of telling others that you have lived life. Some of us have more scars externally than others, some of us have more internal, emotional scars. Either way, be proud you survived that which caused the scars and get on with living your life to the fullest.
A girl I know has a scar on her cheek, what she did was put pimple patches on the scar and then cover it up with makeup that blended into her skin tone. Hardly noticeable. This could help you feel less embarrassed. The patches might even help restore the scar and also bio oil helps with that too.
I had emergency open-hearth surgery and one scar is about 8" long and 1" wide in the middle of my chest and the other runs from my left wrist to my elbow where a vein was removed to repair the blocked arteries to my heart. I don't bother trying to cover them at the beach and such as they are a great conversation-starter. When I handed over my passport at the border, the guard saw the long nasty scar on my arm and thanked me for my service.
Embrace it. Most people won't care. We all have scars.
I have a few myself and if they are that shallow then that is their problem.
Now if it really bothers you then get a tattoo to cover it. But don't do it because you are afraid of what others might feel. Do it for you.
I don't think it's anything to worry about. It's part of who you are and a good guy will understand. You have no reason to feel embarrassed. If you forewarn him about it that should be sufficient. Let him know if it's okay for him to touch or if that would bother you.
