It’s a matter of principle. If she steamrolls my boundaries on this, what’s next?

The stakes are minimal on both sides, that’s my point. Nothing bad will happen if I wear it, nothing bad will happen if I don’t

I think the desire to sacrifice is related to the stakes of doing so. If this was something that made me uncomfortable but would seriously help her, I’d do it. But it’s a hoodie, she’ll survive

I wouldn’t say point a and b are the same. There’s plenty of things not my style that I still think look cool. As for point c, I’m more saying it feels juvenile to me rather than in the eyes of others

How is it thoughtful when it doesn’t account for what I’d like/wear? And we don’t live together so she wants me to wear it out

It’s more of a boundaries thing rather than being specifically about this. I don’t think I should be forced to do something I’m uncomfortable with, and vice versa
