She Repeatedly Told Her Boyfriend Not To Take A Picture Of Her When They Were Just Hanging Out At Home, And He Accused Her Of Needing To Take “A Class On Confidence”
A few days ago, this 26-year-old woman was just hanging out and watching a sports game at home with her boyfriend, who is 31.
At one point, though, her boyfriend wanted to take a picture of themselves together in order to text to one of his friends.
But she immediately said no and really did not want her picture taken. After all, she was just trying to relax at home and felt like her hair was a total mess.
So she wound up telling her boyfriend to just take a photo of the game on TV. Or, he could even just send a picture of himself alone.
Her boyfriend did not listen, though, and proceeded to take a picture of her while she covered up her face. Then, he sent it to his friend while she repeatedly told him not to.
And afterward, this ultimately sparked an argument.
First, her boyfriend asked why she didn’t want her picture taken so badly. And she tried to explain how she was just trying to chill at home.
“And I don’t necessarily look my best, and I wasn’t feeling it,” she recalled.
But, her boyfriend’s friend wound up responding with a picture of themselves and their girlfriend while they were out.

So, her boyfriend actually compared her to his friend’s girlfriend– telling her to look at how his friend’s girlfriend was smiling.
Now, she realized that the other girlfriend looked beautiful in the picture– especially because she was out at the time and obviously well put together.
On the other hand, though, she and her boyfriend were at home. He was drunk, she wasn’t, and she just was not expecting a photo of their hangout.
But, rather than accepting that, her boyfriend decided to bring up the whole incident a few hours later.
At that point, he once again asked why she did not just show her face in the picture. So, she was forced to explain for a second time that she simply did not want to. She did not feel or look her best at the time and didn’t think she would be required to be in a photo.
Her boyfriend just brought up his friend’s girlfriend again, though, and kept telling her to look at the other girlfriend.
“And I told him she looked great,” she said.
As the night went on, though, it appeared as though her boyfriend just could not drop the topic– because later, he brought it up again and apparently started lecturing her.
More specifically, her boyfriend claimed that she needed to get out of her shell more. But she responded by saying that she was not required to do anything that she felt uncomfortable doing.
Her boyfriend wound up just saying, “Well, okay,” to that. However, he still did not quit there.
Instead, he started telling her that she actually needed to take a class on confidence. Before her boyfriend could get any more words in, though, she claimed that she had stopped him in his tracks.
“And I told him again I don’t need a class. If I don’t want to be in a picture, I don’t have to be in one,” she vented.
“And he should respect that and stop being manipulative.”
Unfortunately, though, ever since she stood up for herself, it seems like her boyfriend’s feelings were hurt.
So now, she feels guilty for being harsh and has been left wondering whether she should apologize to her boyfriend or not.
Why do you think her boyfriend kept comparing her to his friend’s girlfriend? Is it understandable why she didn’t want to have her photo taken? Did she do the right thing by shutting down the “confidence class” comment? If you were in her shoes, would you apologize?
