He Asked His Girlfriend Not To Say Anything Embarrassing In Front Of His CEO, And She Got Super Offended
This man’s girlfriend had to endure a pretty challenging childhood. But, she has since emerged from the rough period as a highly successful, self-confident, and self-assured person.
And even though he really admires these qualities about his girlfriend, he also believes that they push her to say things that are “socially uncomfortable.”
For example, one time, he and his girlfriend were traveling to dinner with a friend– and the friend kept apologizing for their messy car.
“My girlfriend said, ‘Girl, I grew up in a hoarder house, and I am in the middle of shoveling stuff out of that house. There is nothing on earth that could disgust me anymore!’ And while that’s true, it was kind of an uncomfortable overshare,” he recalled.
Another instance where he believes his girlfriend overshared was when she was talking to a coworker about their shy child.
The coworker did not know how to help get their kid come out of their shell, so his girlfriend tried to console them.
“But, my girlfriend was like, ‘Give her time, I’m sure she’ll grow into herself. I didn’t talk to anyone in school. Literally, like I had no friends if you’ll believe it!'” he said.
So now that he and his girlfriend are set to attend a big dinner party at his CEO’s home this weekend, he is seriously worried about her saying something out of pocket.
In turn, he sat her down and basically asked her to be a bit more reserved with his coworkers.

“I asked her not to share anything uncomfortable there, and when she asked what I meant, I told her that acting kind of shameless about stuff that most people find shameful is awkward,” he explained.
Still, his girlfriend did not understand. She claimed that her past is not shameful– and that she is proud of getting through her struggles and self-hatred.
Moreover, she does not believe why she should feel insecure about stuff that happened in the past.
He felt like his girlfriend was missing the point, though, and then told her to stop sharing things that most people would be embarrassed about.
Instead, he suggested sharing other things about her life– like how she just got a promotion, traveled to Europe, and purchased her dream car.
And, after that, she understandably got really offended.
“But I am also still shoveling cat pee and stinking garbage every day, so it sounds like you are just embarrassed by me. You suck for saying I should have more shame. I am damn proud of myself, and it sounds like you are the one who is ashamed,” she snapped at him.
And since the altercation, he has been increasingly nervous about the dinner with his CEO. Nonetheless, he is also now wondering if basically asking his girlfriend not to be herself was an insanely rude thing to do.
If you were his girlfriend, would you have gotten offended, too? Was asking his girlfriend to “tone it down” out of line?
