Her Boyfriend Is Dumping Her Because She Wore A Dress To Her Company Holiday Party
A 31-year-old woman has been dating her 35-year-old boyfriend for 4 years, but he’s about to be her ex because he’s dumping her for a pretty absurd reason.
She started out by explaining that her boyfriend is very shy and not outgoing at all. He has told her in the past that he has zero interest in going with her to any events her company throws, and she’s completely fine with that.
Anyway, she recently attended her company holiday party this weekend, and even though she knew her boyfriend would not want to go with her, she did fill him in on when it was going to happen.
Obviously, she ended up going alone because her boyfriend didn’t want to go to the holiday party too.
Her company asked everyone to dress in cocktail attire for the holiday party, and so she decided to wear a dress to comply with that.
Her boyfriend dropped her off at the party so she could have some drinks without having to worry about getting home safely.
Her boyfriend was then supposed to pick her up from the party too, and it accidentally continued past the time she told him to get her.
She also was busy lending a hand at the holiday party and did not have her phone on her, so her boyfriend waited around for a whole hour without hearing from her.
When she did get in touch with him to ask that he get her at 11 instead of 10 that night, he did come to get her, however, the ride home was very uncomfortable.

Her boyfriend refused to say a single word to her on their drive back home together.
Since then, her boyfriend has continued to ignore her and he also has been leaving their home for multiple hours at a time without letting her know where he’s going.
She did send him a text yesterday to say sorry for dropping the ball on the pickup time from the holiday party, but he simply replied back “ok” alongside the shrugging emoji.
When she returned home from work on Monday, her boyfriend was already leaving their house. She is well aware her boyfriend doesn’t really deal with issues head-on, instead he ignores things and avoids confrontation, so she left him alone.
She knew he probably needed some time to himself, so she gave that to him.
Then, yesterday, she still had not spoken or texted with her boyfriend at all. Around 2 that afternoon, he sent her this text:
“It’s pretty safe to assume we’re not anything more than ‘friends’/roommates anymore.”
She was floored by that comment and was able to get him to admit why he was so mad at her, and it turns out, it’s because she chose to wear a dress to her holiday cocktail party.

Her boyfriend then texted her, “It’s weird to think about it. This is the first time I’ve ever seen you dressed up. And it’s for work. I got the message.”
She can’t believe this is what her boyfriend is so offended over, because her company did tell everyone to dress in cocktail attire for the holiday party, and that’s what she did.
“But apparently he thinks that because I’ve never dressed up for any outings/dates we’ve gone on, that means he’s not worth dressing up for and I don’t care about him???” she continued.
“I explained that I do not dress up for anything but special events, of which we’ve never attended together.”
“He keeps the conversation circling back to his main “point” that I must not care about him and have never really cared about him for that matter. Because I never made an effort to get dressed up for him. He even said dropping me off at the party felt like he was taking me to a date with someone else.”
When she got home yesterday evening, her boyfriend was nowhere to be found and this marks 3 straight evenings where she’s had to sleep at home alone because he’s MIA.
So, her boyfriend is breaking up with her over a dress of all things, and she’s lost about what to do right now.
It sounds like her boyfriend is manipulative and jealous, and she’s probably better off without him.
