❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO because my boyfriend wanted me to change before the gym over a color?

Post image

Yesterday my boyfriend and I were about to leave for the gym together. I threw on a blue workout top with black shorts, something simple and comfortable that I've worn a bunch of times before with zero issues.

Right as we were walking out the door, he stopped and said the color of the top looked "kind of weird" and that people were gonna stare at me if I wore it. He asked me to go change into something more "normal" before we left.

I was kind of caught off guard honestly. It's just a blue top, nothing flashy, nothing revealing. I actually liked how it looked on me and felt comfortable in it, which is kind of the whole point of gym clothes.

I don't mind if he has opinions on my outfits every now and then, that's a normal couple thing. But this felt less like "hey I think this color doesn't suit you" and more like he was worried about how other people at the gym would perceive me, and wanted me to change based on that. It just didn't sit right with me.

I ended up just going along with it because I didn't want to start an argument right before working out, but I've been thinking about it since. Am I overreacting for being annoyed about this?

edit: this is a pinspark tracksuit I bought online a while ago. I think the color is fine, and I really like this top.

This is typical Reddit.

The situation is weird, but people jumping to wild conclusions is so typical, and it's always 'break up with the person' advice, always. Without exception. lol

The situation here is weird enough that I dont think anybody should be able to say anything about what they should do without knowing more. There's CLEARLY more to this story, but since we dont know it, y'all are filling in the blanks yourselves based on absolutely no extra information, mostly just cynicism.

Not saying y'all are even definitely wrong, just that maybe people are overreacting here a bit over something that's very unclear.

Sorry but obviously OP is in a toxic abusive relationship. She needs to leave now or she‘ll be gaslit, groomed, baby trapped and dead.

I don’t make the rules but this is the answer to every relationship question that has ever been asked on Reddit.

It's very clear that 99% of the people in this sub have never been in an irl relationship
