Over The Past Few Months Her Boyfriend Started Criticizing Her Appearance And Putting Her Down Over Everything From Her Clothes To Her Hair
A 22-year-old woman has dated her 23-year-old boyfriend for the past 5 years now, but over the last few months, he began criticizing her appearance and putting her down from everything from her clothes to her hair.
She has called her boyfriend out on his criticisms, and every time she does, he apologizes to her and claims he does not mean to criticize her…but he hasn’t stopped doing it.
She started doing things she never did before she met her boyfriend; for example, she gets french tip manicured acrylic nails, she highlights her hair, she gets eyelash extensions, and she gets her eyebrows done.
By all means, she is doing a lot of things to keep up with her appearance.
“He’s constantly telling me I don’t dress sexy enough,” she explained. “The thing is that is true – I don’t dress sexy.”
“I am quite into fashion and I love wearing wide-leg jeans and other modest clothing. But I feel sexy in it regardless. He asked me to wear more mini skirts and things, I have been more so lately even though it’s December.”
“But I don’t feel good in it. I went to buy a top today and I asked his opinion but he said “you shouldn’t dress for me! Where what you want” but then I have that thing where I know he doesn’t find me attractive in it.”
Her boyfriend also has been accusing her of not being sexy enough around their house, which she is blown away by because she spends a ton of money on pretty lingerie.
She did bring up the fact that she bought all of this lingerie, and her boyfriend said that isn’t attractive and he wants her to wear crop tops and short shorts.

“There is obviously not anything wrong with him finding that attractive but I simply don’t wear that,” she said about the crop tops and short shorts.
“I have never worn that, I don’t want to wear that. And most importantly I won’t feel attractive In that.”
Clothing is hardly the only thing her boyfriend is constantly putting her down over though.
“It’s the same with everything – I’m getting ready and he can never say I look nice even if we’re going on a date,” she continued.
“He always has constructive criticism on me – my hair should be up or down. I should wear a different skirt.”
“Or my hair is brassy and I need to tone it or get it re-dyed. I should shave, I should buy some more flattering jeans. I should get a pedicure. Why don’t I do my makeup differently?”
He also picks apart activities they do or don’t do together and she feels like nothing is good enough for him anymore.
She’s left feeling like she has no clue why her boyfriend is even with her if he doesn’t appreciate her for who she is.
“It’s like he makes out I’m insecure so offers suggestions but I’m not and it’s clearly just what he thinks is wrong with me,” she concluded.
She’s concerned that she might be reading too much into this, but it honestly sounds like her boyfriend is a complete jerk.
