His Girlfriend Said She Wanted Him To Learn How To Braid Her Hair So He Had His Sister Teach Him, And Then His Girlfriend Got Downright Mean About It
A 20-year-old guy has been dating his 21-year-old girlfriend for the last year, and 2 days ago, they celebrated their anniversary together.
He spent time coming up with a super thoughtful gift; learning how to braid his girlfriend’s hair.
His girlfriend has kept saying to him that she would love to date a guy who could braid her hair, so he figured it would be a nice surprise for him to actually learn how to do this.
“I have an older sister (26F) who gets along well with my girlfriend, so I asked my sister if she could help me learn to braid hair,” he explained.
“It took some practice, but after her teaching me for a couple of weeks, I learned how to braid simple braids.”
The day of their anniversary arrived, and he invited his girlfriend out on a date. As the evening wore on, he said to his girlfriend that he could braid her hair for her.
His girlfriend was puzzled by this but agreed to let him try. He braided her hair just like his sister had shown him, and when she saw his handiwork, she did appear to be dazzled by what he did.
His girlfriend ended up asking him how he learned to braid hair so well, and he replied that his older sister was the one who had been his teacher.
So, his girlfriend had been impressed up until he revealed this to her.

Her mood instantly changed, and she screamed at him that it was so wrong of him to ask his sister to show him how to braid hair since she couldn’t even do her own hair nicely.
“My sister was born disabled and only has the use of her right side of her body her left side barely works at all, and she is almost unable to use her left hand, but apart from that, she has a high motor ability and to people who are unaware doesn’t ‘look’ disabled at all, because of this my sister does a lot of things with only one hand including her hair,” he explained.
“I asked my girlfriend to explain what she meant by my sister not doing her hair properly, to which my girlfriend said that it looks weird when my sister does her hair as her left arm/hand doesn’t do anything I reminded my girlfriend of my sister’s disability…”
“I explained that doing her hair with one hand was the way that I had learned to do it as my sister is my only reference to doing braids as our mom died when we were young.”
“My girlfriend then proceed to call my sister weird and freaky, which caused an even bigger argument.”
All this has made him feel like he probably should stop dating his girlfriend, but he’s worried he’s blowing this out of proportion.
Do you think he should dump his girlfriend over being so mean?
