If this applies to the OP, then she should work on this before getting involved in any relationship.

Boundaries need to set regarding her attention seeking behavior.

If the OP can follow the boundaries, good.

If not, then she should not be involved in a relationship.

I'm not attention seeking? what in the world...

I did nothing "for the attention". the photos were just me hanging out with friends. my shorts were just old coachella shorts I keep around for sentimental reasons. yes, they are falling apart but I'm not going to wear them anymore. I'm going to rip them and sew a patch into a t-shirt quilt.

i told my boyfriend i wouldn't do that stuff anymore. He doesn't believe I slept w/ anybody while i as out of town. He just felt disrespected and i apologized.

i actually AGREED w/ some of the stuff you said until you came out with this... I didn't "seek" anything.

I don't get the "attention-seeking" thing, either. Was that about putting the photos up on FB? Everyone does that these days.

Stay in touch, OP. Let us know how things go, down the line.

This is pretty much what I would have advised you to do/say. I can see how posting that photo is just a mistake. I got really mad at an ex of mine who posted photos of himself and a female friend looking close, so I understand why the boyfriend was upset. Just make sure not to do it again.

The first word in the reply of mine that you replied to is If.

This really should be the end of the thread. Sounds like everything is resolved. I'm not sure why people want to continue to tell her she doesn't belong in a relationship. That's not really our call.

OP, hopefully you learned something through this. Also, for goodness sake, be careful what you post on Facebook!! You never know who can see that, and that stuff could haunt you.

He is right, I would be concerned as well

This is rubbish and should be ignored.

While to each his own regarding clothing he may have infact felt the dressing style is disrespectful, each person has their own viewpoint as to what is conservative and what is not. Perhaps the couple just has an incompatibility on this issue.
