She And Her Boyfriend Planned A Chill Day At Home Over Christmas, So She Decided To Wear Her Robe, But A Few Hours Later, He Asked Her To Take It Off, Claimed The Robe Made Her Look Lazy, And Said That He Hated It
This young woman and her boyfriend have been dating for about three months now. And over the course of their short relationship, they have primarily hung out at her boyfriend’s place for one reason or another.
But this year, for Christmas, neither of them ended up going to visit their families due to logistical reasons. So, she and her boyfriend decided to spend a cozy weekend holed up at her apartment.
For one of their days this past weekend, they even purposefully planned to stay in and just hang out for the entire day.
It soon became clear, though, that her choice of attire for their comfy day really ticked off her boyfriend.
For context, ever since she was a little girl, she has always absolutely loved wearing robes at home. So now, as an adult, she has a super soft and fluffy one that she usually layers over her at-home clothes.
“I basically treat my robe like a jacket. It’s also extra nice because it is freezing where I live,” she explained.
Also, just to be clear: she never wears this robe out in public or in front of guests. She simply uses it to be comfortable when she is just lounging around her own house.
So anyway, that particular day spent with her boyfriend did start out fine.
But then, after a couple of hours, her boyfriend apparently started to give her some weird looks.

Afterward, he finally opened up about what was bothering him. More specifically, he asked if she would take off the robe and put on some “normal clothes.”
Now, she was honestly pretty confused by that because, at the time, they were both practically matching.
Her boyfriend was wearing sweatpants and a sweater, and she was wearing the same thing– only she had her robe on over the get-up.
So, she asked him what he meant, and it ultimately came out that her boyfriend believed the robe made her look lazy. Moreover, he admitted to “kind of hating it.”
And as you can imagine, she was kind of offended. After all, she was wearing a brand-new robe. It wasn’t like she was wearing some shaggy old one.
So, she just told her boyfriend no.
“We were at home, alone, not expecting guests, and literally doing nothing except eating snacks and watching TV. I wanted to be comfortable,” she reasoned. Totally understandable, right?
Well, her boyfriend thought otherwise. They even ended up getting into a big argument about her robe, and it basically ruined the entire day for her.
Plus, later on, even after talking out the situation, she still got blamed for the whole fight. In fact, her boyfriend accused her of being a jerk for not being willing to compromise.
She pointed out, though, how her boyfriend’s reasoning simply made no sense. Moreover, it was unfair of him to ask her to change when she was just trying to be comfortable in her own home!
So, even though she believes this whole argument is ridiculous, she and her boyfriend are still stuck in a stalemate over her robe.
And now, she has been left wondering if wanting to wear her robe all day during a comfy hangout at home actually made her the jerk or not.
Why do you think her boyfriend cared about her “looking lazy” in her own home on a chill day? Didn’t they plan to have a “lazy day” together anyway? If your partner asked you to change in this scenario, how would you feel? Who is in the wrong here?
