Boyfriend threatens to break up with girlfriend over her skincare addiction: 'It's really hard not to feel grossed out any time we made physical contact'

Everyone is allowed to have their hobbies. Life is difficult, and we need the stuff that makes it feel like it's worth living. Maybe you're a compulsive puzzler who buys new 1000-piece puzzles every week. Is it convenient? No. Is it a little bit expensive? Yeah. But you're in charge of your own life, and you have to do the things that make you happy. Maybe you're obsessed with model trains. You spend all your free time browsing the internet for new parts and assembling your dream tracks in your basement. Is it convenient? No. Is it a little bit expensive? Yeah. But you get to do the things that make you happy.

But what happens when your hobby goes too far? Is there such a thing as a hobby that goes too far? What if it starts affecting your relationship? These questions might come up when the hobby becomes a little more than a hobby. It becomes a way of life that is affecting everyone around you. That's what came up in this story, when one woman's obsession with skincare got in the way of her relationship.

As her boyfriend saw it, her constantly messing with her skin was her constantly messing with their relationship. It halted intimacy and set some questionable boundaries in their relationship. He wasn't sure if he could take it any longer. So he turned to the internet to get other perspectives on this sticky situation, literally.
Am I in the wrong for wanting to break up with my girlfriend over her skincare/anti aging addiction?
