Maybe OP couldn't ever get her attention, so now he's playing sour grapes.

Without saying exactly how it happened, I would compare it to a former nun getting married. Then, going on a photo shoot for a men's fashion and style magazine like Maxim wearing a bikini.

Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with what she is doing. I consider it a positive thing for someone like her to become less inhibited. But she probably married the first person who proposed to her. I think if she had been less prudish before she would have gotten a lot of proposals sooner. The only reason I'm asking is because I don't understand people who are that prudish. And I hope that this is a positive change for her.
Many people do wait until marriage until engaging any sexual activity. I'm guessing after she got married her world changed and now she can't get enough

Way back in the day, I knew of a couple that would often hang out at a local donut shop. I knew about this couple because my sister worked at the donut shop, and I would hang out there sometimes, or pick her up after her shift was over, or whatever.


Anyway, the guy was unremarkable, but his wife, or his girlfriend was always dressed kind of flashy, and to my younger perception...kind of trashy, cheap, and obvious, although she always seemed like a sweet person.


Me and my sisters would kind of laugh about her, and one day we were telling our mom about the couple. My mom said something that always stuck with me. "Maybe she dresses like this for "date night" because it makes her husband happy." And to me, it was like "Well, alright then. I can see that."


At the end of the day...it's just their business, not mine.

Maybe since getting married, she's no longer concerned about attracting men that are interested only for her looks. Who knows.

I have no idea why a woman would dress like a sister wife, maybe she is really bad at fashion but didn't want to dress provocatively to attract a man just for that.

Since she's married maybe her husband likes her to dress more current, so she does?
You're talking about people who are affiliated with an entirely different Church than The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Check my user profile if you want to see pictures of how we actually dress.

I was wondering the same. It comes across less like you are concerned for someone, and more like you're obsessed.

I think your seeming obsession should be more of a concern to you, than what she is wearing. Perhaps figure out what you are really motivated by...and get some help.

Now that she is married, she simply had her sexual awakening.

This I don’t get the issue at all, why does it matter to the op? It’s weird!

A thought not yet expressed...

I know it would seem really weird to many, especially those who have more jealous tendencies with their partners. But for some people, showing off their mate makes them happy. My boyfriend has wanted me to share pictures online that I'm not comfortable sharing online (once I told him that, he dropped it, he's not pressuring me or anything.) My point is, it was his idea. And I think there's a feeling of ego boost from "Isn't she amazing? And she's mine!"

I mean, what changed with her is, she got married...so maybe it's his idea, not hers? Or maybe she told him she always wanted to do whatever but was afraid of how she might be judged and he encouraged her to just do it, if she always wanted to. Maybe he is more secure about this sort of thing than she, on her own, ever was?

Or maybe she was super "prudish" or modest before, because someone had told her she had to be that way to get a decent mate, rather than a guy just trying to use you for sex...lots of women are raised with such messages, you know?...and now that she's got someone, she no longer has to keep up the "good girl" act if she doesn't want to.

You would never really know why she changed unless you asked her though. However, I advise if you do, you leave words like "prude" and "flaunting" at the door.
