Her Boyfriend Wants Her To Lie About Her Job To His Friends And Family Because She Works As A Party Princess, But She Is Refusing And Doesn’t Get Why He Finds Her Work So Embarrassing
This young woman from the UK is currently employed as a “party princess.” In other words, she dresses up as fictional characters– mainly princesses– and provides customers with a whole catalog.
So, people can select what character they want, and she will show up for any booked parties. Then, she will sing, play games with children, read books, take pictures, and more.
Now, she claims to love her job, and she actually makes really good money doing it. Plus, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was able to shift her operations to keep her business alive.
“I began to do Zoom calls, which were more one-on-one and lasted 40 minutes,” she recalled.
Anyway, she has been working this job for two years now. And honestly, she intends to continue doing it for as long as she can. After all, she finds her work very fulfilling.
But she has been dating her boyfriend for seven months now. And apparently, he is actually just embarrassed by what she does.
In fact, he does not even want her to be transparent about her job with his family or his friends. Instead, he thinks that if she is honest, it will make her appear childish or as though she lacks other work prospects.
And quite frankly, she finds that quite infuriating. After all, she reportedly makes more money than him through this job anyway.
“But I would never throw that up in an argument with him,” she admitted.

Instead, she ended up asking her boyfriend why it mattered what anyone else thought. Her boyfriend did not give her a straight answer, though, and just asked her to “do this for him.” In other words, he wanted her to lie and say that she worked “somewhere more normal.”
Now, she really does not like lying. More importantly, though, it is just really upsetting to her that her boyfriend expects her to lie about herself to his loved ones.
Her boyfriend did point out how she could not keep doing this job forever– which she acknowledged and agreed with.
“But, while I do it, I don’t see why I should be ashamed,” she vented.
So now, she has been left wondering whether she should “tell a little fib” to keep the peace or if she would be a jerk for refusing to lie about her job to her boyfriend’s friends and family.
Why do you think her boyfriend cares so much about what everyone else might think? Is it realistic for her to lie about a job and then have to keep up that lie for the duration of their relationship until she gets another gig? Does she have a right to feel hurt by her boyfriend’s request? If you were in her shoes, what would you do?
