Do you think I am blowing this completely out of proportion?

I love my boyfriend. I know he loves me. And he has always appreciated me, and loved me for what I am. But recently, he keeps hinting, suggesting, pressuring me to dress different. See, I am a t-shirt, kind of girl, I usually throw on whatever comfortable, I don’t wear thongs, or yoga pants because they are uncomfortable for me. And so, my boyfriend, keeps seeing girls at our school wear yoga pants and skirts with thongs, and he constantly reminds me that he would love to see it on me, saying things like “well i wouldn’t mind if you did,” or “it just looks so much better shorter”. i have told him many times this is pissing me of and that he should just love me the way I am. And at the end of those fights, he always concludes sweetly that I am right that he should. But then a few days after, he just reverts back, and keeps suggesting and hinting. And is suggesting and hinting really feels like pressuring to me. So, right now we are fighting again. Am I blowing this out of proportion? should i just compromise and wear it sometimes just for him? What should I do about this, how do i stop his constant pressuring. I do not want to break up with him, and I will not, i love him too much, I am only looking to fix this problem.

Answer #1

Don’t change yourself, but mabey now and then you should do what he wants becuase if you guys truly love each other, if you TRULY LOVE him you should make sacrifice for one each other. Now i am not saying throw all your stuff away and dress like thoes girls. just now and then wear it for him. it dosent even have to be in school. you can do it on the weekends if you see him. and your not blowing it out of praportion becuase you have to be happy too.

Answer #6

First of all, you’re completely right. Do not change for someone else. You are definitely not blowing it out of proportion … this is really important.

Second, there’s no fixing him, it just cannot be done. Now that you’ve told him, he knows you don’t like it. He has a chance to listen to you or not. (Seems like he has chosen “not”) The “fix” is in you. Accept him the way that he is or leave him. It’s totally under your control.

Answer #7

you could make him something he likes ( try to butter him up a little) and say that you dont dress like that because its just not you. i’m the same i love my t shirts and jeans and have never owned a thong or yoga pants. they just dont seem confortable and thats just kinda not me to flaunt, in a way, my ass. tell him your reasons for not wearing these clothes. if that doesnt work…. idk. love is hard. you could buy a thong and wear it just occationally when you guys are together like on the weekends. just for him. to show him that you do want him to be happy to and you like doing things for him. but tell him that its just for him and that you decide when and where you are going to wear it.
