She Tried To Step Outside Of Her Comfort Zone With The Halloween Costume That She Just Ordered, But Her Fiancé Saw It And Said She Really Needs To Cover Up More
A 23-year-old girl has been in a relationship with her 25-year-old fiancé for the last 4 years, and she would describe their relationship overall as really “healthy.”
She has always struggled with her self-esteem and how she views herself, so she never dresses in a way that shows herself off. She usually puts on sweatpants and t-shirts that are too big for her.
She has started to go to therapy, which has really helped her view herself in a better way.
“Therapy has helped me through a lot of barriers regarding getting over not liking my body,” she explained.
“This year, for Halloween, we are going on a bar crawl, so I decided to step out of my contort zone and buy something that I normally wouldn’t wear.”
“The costume is Renaissance based, so I have a long cream dress and a bodice that wraps around my waist, enhancing my chest area. I have never worn anything like this, so it’s a huge step!”
She ordered her costume on Amazon, and it showed up at her house a couple of days ago.
As soon as it arrived, she opened up the box and went to go see if her costume fit her well. When she put it on, she was surprised to find that she felt gorgeous in her costume, and she then made her way upstairs to show her fiancé.
Although she thought he would love her costume just like she did, he really wasn’t supportive of it at all.

“The look on his face was devastating to my self-esteem, and what he said after completely caught me off guard,” she said.
“He told me that I looked like I was trying too hard and that I needed to cover up more if he was going to go out in public with me.”
She left the room in tears, and she ran to go take her costume off. She couldn’t figure out why he had responded to her costume like that, and she was so upset.
Her fiancé had never once commented on her outfits or style, so she felt so hurt that he picked the one thing she felt confident in to pick apart. Right after she had taken her costume off, her fiancé came down the stairs of their home and said to her that she really needed to get a different costume.
She refused right then and there and insisted that she would wear her Renaissance costume when Halloween arrived.
“After a couple of minutes of arguing, I put my foot down and told him I was sticking with this costume; if he didn’t like it, then he didn’t have to join me on Halloween,” she continued.
Her fiancé was still angry when he walked away from their conversation, and he has not said much to her since their disagreement. She’s left wondering if she should get a new Halloween costume. Do you think she should?
