Funny, I read this whole thing thinking, "Man I'm glad I'm married and don't have to deal with any of that. It sounds stressful and frustrating." 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person that NEEDS to be in a relationship and I am pretty **** independent. So I do enjoy my life when I'm single very much (since my relationship is never my whole life it's not like I'm dying when I don't have one)
that said, honestly, and this is TOTALLY PERSONAL, but the only time I felt I was "missing out" or "missing my single life" was when I was with the wrong person.
I was with the wrong guy and I would see my friends hooking up and having **** buddies and multiple partners and dating and I would be like
aww I miss that. With the right guy. I seriously miss none of it.
There are awkward moments at girls nights when the whole group gets hit on and I have to make it clear I'm not interested or pushing guys off me while I'm trying to dance but other than that..
I look back, and as much as I enjoyed it all, I don't miss it and I certainly don't wish to relive it.
To me, what I have right now, in a relationship, trumps how much I enjoyed the "single party scene"
(this is NOT to say that is true for everyone. One is not "better" than the other, just for me.. being in THIS relationship brings me more joy personally)

aww I miss that.
First boyfriend for 4 years, then met my husband and immediately started dating him/broke up with ex. I'm also my husband's first ever relationship. I like it this way--no baggage/drama/uncomfortable stories to hide or have to "get through".
Dare I say I think these Nature's Cure pills are actually working? My cystic acne is getting better and other types of acne are almost non-existent...
But I just ran out of my Epiduo.
I don't think it's really the Epiduo because I've been using that for much longer and not had this much luck before.
Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a combination of the two, because I just canceled my dermatology appointment... I can't afford it on top of the surprise bill from my annual.
And of course now that I've posted this I expect tomorrow I will be ALL broke out and be like NO WHY I WANT THE ACCUTANE COME BACK DERMATOLOGY APPOINTMENT
I wish I were married. Or at least dating somebody worth marrying... boo.

Oooh, this is intriguing. I have terrible acne all over my chest and often on my face (especially preceding that time of the month, ugh). How did you find this? Did the dermatologist recommend it, or was it something you found on your own? I was prescribed epiduo a couple years ago, but it was $200/prescription and I couldn't afford that at the time. I should really go back, but ugh, I hate dealing with it.
I am 27 years old. I should not have acne at this point.

I found it while desperately Googling around - I read reviews on Makeup Alley and some people said it definitely worked for them. I'm 29 and I feel like I shouldn't have acne at this point either... it was never cystic acne when I was younger. It was cheap enough on Amazon I thought it was worth giving it a shot!
Some people buy it locally at Walgreens and stuff but I tried every store in town and couldn't find it. It's a little pill and you chew it up, once in the morning and once at night. It comes with a 5% benzoyl peroxide cream too, but I haven't used it yet. 5% is pretty strong. But now that I'm out of Epiduo I might give it a try, maybe only every other day since it's so strong.

I regularly use the 10% benzoyl peroxide creams, so 5% doesn't scare me much. They've done studies that show 5 and 10% creams are equally effective, i just can never find 5% stuff--it's always 1 or 10.
And WHOA, it's cheap! I just ordered it from drugstore.com for $12.25. If that really cleans up my acne for a month, I will be THRILLED.

Yeah the cheap aspect is nice haha! I figured even if it didn't work, I've paid more money to try other things in the past that didn't work... at least this wouldn't put me out very much money. It was toward the end of the first month I was kind of like "Hmm, is this really working?" It seemed like it was potentially working enough that I ordered a second month's worth. I'm 10 days into the second month now and I really do think it's making a difference... normally I have those "Hey, is my acne clearing up?" days and then BAM, two days later it's like NOPE JUST KIDDING. But it's lasted over a week that I really do think it's getting better, so I think there might actually be something to it this time!
I have issues with my concealer breaking down and it'll make my eyeliner smudge. As far as concealer suggestions though, I wouldn't use it unless you need it. I have deep set eyes so they tend to be dark. I use Maybelline's under eye brightening concealer these days. I used a few others in the past, but that is the main one I am stuck on. Also Urban Decay's 24/7.
