Controlling behavior never gets better. It always gets worse. What's the one thing YOU have control over? YOUR body. Why should anyone else have a say in what you choose to do with YOUR body?
Hey Everyone!
So I've been dating my boyfriend for about 5 years now and were both 20 years old. We have always had an issue when it comes to me wearing a tank top in public or skirts that are a little above my knees. I'm not sure if I should just let this slide or not ( I haven't argued it yet but I feel like maybe I should). I don't ever show cleavage or anything just because I do like to be modest but it does get really hot in California during the summer time. I don't ever wear short shorts I never have, normally ill wear a skirt and try to make it look classy. Should I respect what he says and just wear pants or long skirts all summer or is this something that he is wrong for and should let go? Please be honest I respect all comments!!
Hi Jessica
Honestly wear what YOU want to wear and do what YOU want to do , don't let anyone influence or even tell you what to do my love
Myself if you were my girlfriend for example I may well suggest something or even have an opinion on what not to wear but obviously I'd respect you and your choices, and I'm sure most blokes would be the same
He sounds controlling and possibly jealous of others looking at you but honestly I'd tell him to mind his own .....
My husband fussed about me not being modest enough at times. He was possessive about, didn't want me to appeal to others, so I just stopped dressing up and then he was sad that I didn't make an effort. He also got angry with me if I didn't dress up enough, like I was wearing sweatpants because we had been skiing, and we went into Kmart to buy a greeting card and he was really pissed at me.
He was just plain controlling and suffers a great deal of social anxiety. He is very self conscious and always thinks people are paying attention to him when they couldn't care less. We crashed and burned for a lot of reasons, but his anxiety is something he's never dealt with. He always took it out on me.
OP, If your relationship is otherwise good, you could probably figure out a way to work with this.
