[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ladies, if your significant other worked in a typically Brooks Brothers/Allen Edmonds work environment, and one day he is leaving for the office in a highly tailored suit like a Miami Beach clubgoer, loafers without socks, a bright shirt with three shirt buttons undone and smelling of typically-unused musky cologne, would you honestly think nothing of it?

Why does everything need to be "controlling"?[/quote]

There’s a difference between “think nothing of it” and “whine”.

OP could have said “hey you look great in that dress, what’s the occasion”  and instead went with “I don’t think you should wear that dress to work.”

Now he looks immature and controlling and has missed the opportunity to pay a compliment and get some information.[/quote]

OP here. I did not say "I don't think you should wear that dress to work".[/quote]

From your OP

“that that type of attire made me a little uncomfortable and that [b]it didn't really seem work appropriate[/b]”

So you wanted to tell her it wasn’t appropriate to wear to work, but you thought that she should totally wear it to work?[/quote]

I don't remember the exact conversation verbatim, but that was a paraphrase.

It's more like this.

OP: (Quizzically) You're wearing [i]that[/i] to work?

GF: Yup.

OP: (Making a side-eyed, smirking sarcastic face) [i]Interesting[/I]

GF: Is there a problem?

OP: You don't think that's a bit...much?

GF: Nope, don't be insecure.

This is not verbatim; I don't remember exactly. I admit making that smirky face probably didn't help, but that was my reaction in the moment. I didn't really "demand" anything. It was a quick thing before work, not some drawn out back and forth.[/quote]

Yeah it sounds like you were an insecure jerk tbh. “You’re wearing [b]that[/b]?” Is rude. Always.

Apologize and do better. Your girlfriend obviously has her life sorted out and wasn’t soliciting your input. Be profoundly grateful, and if you can’t be, let her be with someone who is.[/quote]
