Her Boyfriend Got Insecure When She Wanted To Wear Heels To A Wedding And Was Taller Than Him, So She Said She’d Only Wear Heels When He Wasn’t Around
Last weekend, this 31-year-old woman and her boyfriend, who is 30, attended a friend’s wedding.
But even though they have been together for four years, she and her boyfriend had never really seen each other super dressed up.
That’s why she was very excited to get dolled up and even bought a new dress and a nice pair of heels and put some extra effort into her hair and makeup.
She hoped that, after seeing her, her boyfriend would stop and think, ‘Wow, she looks amazing.”
Anyway, when it came time to go to the wedding, she slid on her heels and actually felt really hot for the first time in a long time. Yet, after she walked down the stairs to meet her boyfriend, he did not have quite the same reaction.
Instead, he just looked her up and down, went all quiet, and mumbled, “Oh, you’re quite a bit taller than me now.”
As you can probably imagine, she was seriously disappointed by her boyfriend’s reaction.
“He told me that I looked nice and the issue was his, not mine, but that being totally honest, he felt a bit self-conscious standing next to me,” she recalled.
“He said I should wear whatever makes me feel good but that he would prefer not being in pictures together with me towering over him.”

That hurt her feelings, too. Apparently, she is five foot seven, and her boyfriend is five foot eight. So they are close in height, but she had never seen him so insecure before.
That’s why, at the drop of a hat, she went from feeling super confident to feeling, well, awful. And in the end, she wound up just changing into some flats for the wedding. Then, she decided to return the brand-new high heels as soon as she could. Now, her boyfriend did insist that she should wear whatever she wanted.
“But I no longer felt confident in what I was wearing,” she admitted.
However, the wedding was just over a week ago. So, the other day, her boyfriend noticed that the new high heels were still under the bed and had the tag on.
Apparently, she had ultimately decided not to return the shoes after all since she remembered how great she felt when she first tried them on. Her boyfriend didn’t know that, though, so once he saw the shoes, he reminded her to return them before the deadline passed, and she couldn’t get her money back.
At that point, she was forced to reveal how she decided to keep the shoes. She also explained how she would just wear them whenever she went to work parties or went out with her friends. Still, her boyfriend just looked super disappointed. Then, he even said that she “didn’t need to be like that.”
So, ever since then, she’s been left wondering whether telling her boyfriend she’ll only wear high heels whenever he’s not around was the wrong way to handle the situation.
Did she have a right to keep the shoes? Should her boyfriend’s insecurity dictate what she can and cannot wear? Could she have handled this situation better or not? What would you have done?
