Am I right to be upset by my boyfriend saying this?

I've been with my boyfriend nearly 18 months now and have recently moved in with him. I haven't been well for the past week or so from ongoing health problems. My boyfriend last night said that he does not find me attractive unless I am feeling 100% ok and wearing make-up and dressed nicely. This really upset me. I know I look better when I'm made-up nicely etc but surely he should still fancy the natural 'me' without make up etc, even if I do get the occasional spot because I've been having period problems?! He thinks I am being over sensitive whereas I feel like dumping him at the moment!

    Oh my god. Thats not nice. He should not say that to you. He sounds very immature to me. You are a human being. He moved in with you but expects you to look amazing 24 hrs a day. Thats not the real world. He would never find anyone that fits that bill.

    Dont let him make you feel bad about yourself honey, get someone who loves you for you and not you with your best dress on and make up x

    Ugh! No! No one looks drop dead gorgeous all the time. Not even the likes of Angelina Jolie etc.

    Of course you should be offended and upset, I know I would be because it just proves he only likes the way I look, when I'm done up.

    Your not being oversensitive, if it hurt you tell him again and really try to get him to be serious about it, if he doesn't I would remind him that you could do so much better than him and possibly move on.

    The b**ch needs a slap! Yes ofc he should find you attractive for what you are, if anything, more so when you're natural because then you are YOU and not trying to be anything else. I'd ask him straight what he was getting at by that, because he may be trying to say he wants to break up in disguise... If he insists that he meant purely what he said and nothing else attached, i think u should tell him what you feel an that what he said really hurt you. If he continues to be an arrogant b****rd then dump him, coz someone who values his gf like that shoulnd't have one.

    Dump him right away. This guy does not care about you in the slightest. He should be making you chicken soup while you're sick, not making you feel insecure. He needs to grow up and look beyond the superficial. Trust me, if he really loved you or cared for you, he would think you were beautiful no matter what. Sure, you might not look your best when you're sick but who does? Dump him, dump him, dump him.

    Honestly if it was me I would dump his ***. Especially if he thinks your being over sensitive, like you do not say something like that to a girl. It would be different if he said like I like when your all done up and dressed nicely... but i mean saying he does not find you attractive unless your done up... wow, my advice... run fast from this insensitive loser.

    Ummm why get mad if he called you little girl? I don't understand that! Well I mean yes the pee part was disrespectful, but he apologized well it was a joke. We have to understand that guys are not as mature as us girls. But I do think you got a little upset. I think you made a mistake!

    You should thank him. Now you know he just likes you when your dressed up and you can see him for who he really is.

    Seems like a fake relationship to me, one of those guys will cheat on you the moment he feels your getting old or not as appealing as you once were.

    I would be upset too.

    If I was living with someone I would feel very insecure and under pressure if he said this. But he sounds quite shallow and unrealistic in his expectations, besides being inconsiderate and insensitive.
