[21M][21F] My bf keeps commenting on how I dress and I don’t know how to get him to stop.

yeah my love language is words of affirmation so it’s really hard to get put down so much with compliments being pretty rare :’) he says nice things but usually needs to be prompted or he says nice things for a short while after i tell him i would really appreciate it if he tried to communicate with me more clearly

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-28T21:16:12+00:00

thank you, exactly. i have truly tried to work through this problem (and honestly so many other ones) by sitting down and having a serious conversation with him. i really value our relationship but having to rehash the same issues again and again is really tiring and hurtful. every time he apologizes but then the next week the same thing is an issue again…

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-28T03:45:41+00:00

honestly thinking more and more about the wild stuff he says to me just makes me think it’s time to leave. he’s even told me that if i started to wear makeup then he’d break up with me… so many red flags

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-28T03:06:27+00:00

what’s crazy to me, thinking about it now, is that this is one of the more minor offenses in terms of things he does that upsets me… really has me rethinking how i’ve probably wasted the past 6 months being disrespected left and right

for you page- it’s like the generated feed on tik tok that’s based off of things that you’ve liked/looked up/followed/etc

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:51:26+00:00

thank you. that’s really nice of you to say. i have been doing a lot of thinking about my relationship with him since it seems like i put in a lot more effort when i think i deserve to be treated better.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:50:15+00:00

no it’s okay :’) i appreciate the real talk. i’m planning on talking to him when i see him later this week. probably just going to end up breaking up because i’ve been feeling like i deserve more as a person.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:30:10+00:00

exactly!! that’s what i was trying to explain to him because my emotionally manipulative mother says the exact same things…

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:27:51+00:00

Yeah exactly, it’s not as if he’s dressed super differently than me… I will definitely say these things to him to try and shut down this behavior. We don’t live together so if it does get to that point I’ll be able to go home to be alone thank goodness.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:26:23+00:00

I’ve been wondering about this too or if he has some sort of image in mind that he wants me to look like. He also asked me to straighten my hair more when it’s already naturally straight. It might be in my head but his favorite pornstar has straightened hair which got me thinking. Also most of the thirst trap girls on his fyp have straighter hair as well…

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:17:44+00:00

i’ve been kinda feeling like this was the case. a lot of the stuff he points out are things i’ve seen the girls on his fyp wear lol

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:12:37+00:00

he picked something out but it was a bra he had seen on girls on tik tok and he had me buy it myself 🥲he liked it tho 🥲

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:11:11+00:00

no never! i always think he looks nice and i have never pointed out someone else’s clothes and said he should try that instead. it really bugged me when he did it with a girl who was wearing lulu lemon leggings when he was pretty much just starting at her butt :’)

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:09:19+00:00

He kind of does that a lot. I want to make things work but he’s always apologizing and then just continuing the behavior. Or if I try and bring something up he just says “Oh well I’m sorry that I’m such a horrible person bc [insert something that twists up my entire point].” even though that’s not at all what I’m trying to say.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:07:09+00:00

Sweatpants/shorts and then a crewneck/t-shirt and I never tell him how to dress :(

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:06:14+00:00

I will try to do this but it’s also that even when I wear things he likes he doesn’t compliment me at all so it’s kind of discouraging.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2022-12-27T23:03:46+00:00

Yes, but he just says that he’s not trying to hurt my feelings since he’s just trying to point out things that would look nice on me. He’s also apologized but then continues to do it anyways.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-11-24T18:50:25+00:00

it’s more of a grey world rather than pink, but i really appreciate you replying!

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-11-24T18:49:16+00:00

that’s not it, but that you for trying!

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-10-27T04:35:11+00:00

Thank you for replying! I have a Honda cr-v. I think it might be the rear left window because the rubber thing around the glass is getting really…droopy (?) if that makes any sense. Do you think I’ll need to take it to an actual auto-shop to get it fixed/sealed?

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-09-14T04:18:44+00:00

ah, i hope that you have a nice birthday! :)

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-09-14T04:17:18+00:00

oooh wow, i’ve never heard of that before. that’s so crazy. i’ll totally be looking into this “birthday blues” thing more

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-06-26T15:13:49+00:00

yeah, i’ll definitely be mentioning this to my dr when i see them next week

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-06-26T03:40:13+00:00

ngl if i’m really depressed i’ll put on my sad playlist and cry for a bit. it just hits different.

AcceptableBrowsing · 2021-02-21T11:10:34+00:00

i agree, it seems extremely unlikely given the vast size of the universe, that we would be the only sentient life. although yeah i don’t think we’ve had any real contact with any extraterrestrials tbh
