Her Roommate Asked Her To Change Her Clothes, Because She Felt It Was Distracting Her Boyfriend
All too often, women are asked or ordered to change the clothes they’re wearing because they’re supposedly “distracting” the men around them. It happens often for teenagers in school or adults in their work environments. But have you ever been asked to change in your own home?
One woman was recently asked by her roommate to change what she was wearing to stop distracting her boyfriend.
She’s 29 years old and lives with a 26-year-old woman. She is currently on a weight loss journey and has done very well. She went from once weighing 250 pounds to 165 pounds.
Because of her drastic change in size, many of her clothes are too baggy on her. She’s ready to replace everything, but buying a new wardrobe is very expensive, and she doesn’t have the money for it yet.
So, she prioritized buying new pants, skirts, and other bottoms because she didn’t want them falling off.
Then, she bought a few nice tops in her new size for work. She kept many of her old, oversized teeshirts to wear around the house.
The other night, her roommate had her boyfriend over at their house. She was minding her own business while he was there and was in the kitchen checking their cabinets to see what groceries she needed to order.
She was wearing one of her old, oversized teeshirts and a pair of shorts in her current size. Since the teeshirt was so large on her, it made it look like she was only wearing the teeshirt with nothing underneath.
“My roommate came to me and asked me if I could please change either my shirt or my shorts because I was distracting her boyfriend,” she recalled.

Apparently, her roommate’s boyfriend had pointed out that it looked like she wasn’t wearing any pants. So her roommate asked if she’d put on larger shorts or a shorter shirt so her boyfriend would stop staring at her.
“I thought she was being ridiculous,” she said.
She told her roommate that she refused to change and that if anything, she should tell her boyfriend to stop staring at her.
Since then, her roommate has been angry and hasn’t spoken to her. It’s been very tense in their household, and she hates feeling awkward at home.
Should she have changed her clothes, or did she make the right decision by refusing to do it for her roommate’s boyfriend?
