Last week, I went to the mall with my boyfriend. I saw a skirt that was just my style. I tried it on and loved it, but when I came out of the fitting room, my boyfriend was looking at me strangely. Then he said, ‘Isn’t that skirt a bit too short?’ To avoid ending the shopping trip on a bad note, I didn’t buy it, but honestly, it stuck with me. Now, I keep wondering if I was being unreasonable. Or am I allowing too much on such things?
Well, I once lived the same thing in university. My girlfriend made a fuss because my shirt was low-cut. At that time, I was young and didn’t wear it directly. But if it happened now, there’s no way I’d compromise. Today she doesn’t like the skirt, tomorrow she won’t like her friend. If you allow these things from the start, it never ends.
How long have we been together? Is this also the first intervention for the clothes?
@kahvebitmeden It’s been over 2 years. But, the thing is, this is the first time they’ve said something like this about my clothes. Before, they didn’t intervene directly, but sometimes they would comment, like “this makes you look fat, don’t wear that” ![]()
@makarnaoncesi I mean, it’s everyone’s own relationship, buddy; it’s not just about giving or not giving in. The guy is uncomfortable, after all; they’re in a relationship, so such things can be talked about. I don’t think everything should just be dismissed by saying it’s freedom.
The topic of clothing is generally related to personal preferences. But if it restricts you, say it clearly. If it happens continuously, it could lead to bigger problems in the future. Try to talk it out and find a middle ground.
but this topic is just like copy-paste. “Isn’t it a bit too short?” cliché. Talk it over from the beginning, resolve it, move on. No need to get so worked up ![]()
it’s so boring. what’s the point of discussing it for so long, did your clothes get stuck to your waist or something?
