She Wants To Break Up With Her Boyfriend Because He Has Zero Style And Showed Up To Her Fancy Birthday Dinner In A Bright Green Football Shirt
Recently, this 23-year-old almost dumped her boyfriend, 24, during her birthday dinner at an upscale restaurant.
While she acknowledged that everyone has unique fashion senses and has the freedom to wear whatever they want, her boyfriend often crosses the line with his style. It was almost too much for her to handle during her birthday dinner.
She’s often seen couples out and about where the girlfriend is wearing a fancy outfit while the boyfriend is wearing something casual like a tracksuit.
This has often happened when she and her boyfriend have gone on dates, and it’s always bothered her. Once in a while, he chooses to wear his favorite jeans, but she thinks they’re hideous.
“They’re ripped, blue denim, but not proper denim. You know what denim I’m talking about. He’ll wear it with a top of any color. The jeans get tight to the bottom, and it looks horrible. And when he zips up his big coat, he looks like a minion,” she said.
Her boyfriend owns these same jeans in several different colors. Every time he plans a date and asks her to dress nicely, he shows up wearing these jeans. She’s grown tired of it and has repeatedly expressed her frustration to him.
To try to help him gain a better sense of fashion, she’s taken him out shopping for new clothes. She thinks he’d look fantastic in straight-leg pants and minimalistic patterned shirts.
In her view, her boyfriend’s clothes are unflattering on him. She was secretly thrilled when a pair of his ugly jeans ripped, and he couldn’t wear them anymore.
Several days ago, her boyfriend planned to take her out to a nice restaurant to celebrate her birthday, and he asked her to dress up.

“I put on a nice dress and high heels. He came to pick me up and was wearing THE JEANS with a BRIGHT GREEN FOOTBALL TOP. I wanted to collapse,” she explained.
After they arrived at the restaurant, she immediately took note of all the men who wore dressy shirts, pants, and jackets, and her boyfriend stood out like a sore thumb since he was so underdressed.
This annoyed her, especially because he had asked her to dress nicely when he hadn’t taken his own advice.
Even though she feels like a jerk for hating her boyfriend’s style so much, she pointed out that there are certain places or occasions where it’s appropriate to dress up, adding that if she wanted to, she could have worn a sweatshirt to dinner, but she knew to dress nicely.
During dinner, she ate as quickly as she could, and afterward, her boyfriend asked if she was up for doing anything else to celebrate her birthday, but she declined, telling him she’d rather just call it a night. Her boyfriend humiliates her when he underdresses for fancy dates, and she feels guilty and awful for feeling that way.
“I’m sure I have clothes that he doesn’t like either, but that’s not the point. The point is that he simply cannot dress for an occasion. He looks horrible in the stuff he picks,” she shared.
It’s upsetting that her boyfriend buys unflattering clothes that aren’t appropriate for nice dates, but he owns some outfits she thinks look great.
But she hates the awful jeans he wears so much that she wishes she could burn them. However, it may not come to that because she’s debating on dumping her boyfriend due to his awful wardrobe.
Do you think she should break up with her boyfriend?
