  Is my boyfriend right to complain about the way I dress

I dont see what the problem is as I have never been unfaithful, but my boyfriend is constantly complaining about what I wear. I consider myself to be a girlie girl and love looking at my best which is part of the problem. The majority of my wardrobe consists of skirts and dresses that are what you would call short and my bf thinks that some of the skirts I wear are so short they are a come on for other men to chat me up. I have told him it is not and its just feel more comfortable wearing skirts instead of trousers

Your answers should be answers, not additional questions.

As to your question, if you dressed that way when he became your boyfriend then wanting you to change now seems ridiculous.

Maybe you should think about if you are attention seeking or not. But, it's mostly his problem.

Continue to wear what you want and feel comfortable in. Your boyfriend is not your parent, and shouldn't be trying to control what you wear. It's a stupid thing to complain about. Do not change something so superficial and unimportant to "keep your bf happy" If he can't be happy unless his girlfriend is dressed how HE wants her to dress, then he's not selfless enough to have a girlfriend. If he's feeling threatened by other guys 'chatting you up' then he has TRUST issues. If he trusts you, he wouldn't care that other guys talk to you. I'd never stay with a guy who had a problem with me talking to other guys. Your guy needs to be enlightened.

I dont know how old you are but I would say your boy friend is immature and is insecure. He has a right to make suggestions but not to 'tell' you what to wear.

Sounds like this could lead to future trouble if he's gonna be worried about other guys looking at you. If it were me I'd continue to wear what I want and feel comfortable in.

Keep your wardrobe, bin your boyfriend. He sounds like a control freak.

I don't really think it's a boyfriends place to tell their girlfriend what they can and can't wear. I think that's for you to decide. I think he can voice his opinion about it, but ultimately if you still want to dress the way you do, than he should respect that or break up with you if it's that much of a problem for him. Actually, I think that guys should flaunt there girlfriends...he should just be like, "Yeah, isn't she hot? Haha yep, that's my girlfriend." *smile*

You should wear what you want as long as you ain't naked in public or wearing something illegal to me he soudns like he's trying to control you, don't cave in cause them he'd think he'd he able to tell you what you to do next and then controlling your life.

Men that do this are usually the bad ones.

Ditch him, and find a good one -- One that makes you feel good about the way you look and dress.

This is his problem, not yours.

Your boyfriend doesn't have a right to tell you what to wear, but he does have a right to tell you how he feels and you have an obligation to protect his feelings, at least within certain parameters. What I really think is that you should think about why you like wearing such short skirts. As someone who wears skirts, I know that the really short ones are usually less comfortable because they require constant attention so as not to flash the entire world. I suspect you like the feeling of sexiness you have in these clothes, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's understandable that your boyfriend feels like it's not solely for his benefit. Maybe you can tell him you like to feel sexy for him. (Assuming you do.)

Yes, he certainly has a right to complain, likewise you have a right to keep wearing what you like to wear; just like both of you have the right to break up with the other one (hint hint).

Complaining is pretty much a god-given right that everyone has if you can make a legitimate case for it. Not wanting others to check out your bf/gf is a valid one.

Hey continue to wear what you want to wear.. the shorter skirt or dress and the tinier the cut offs or shorts the better...show those goodies off... the rest of us guys love the Hooker tramp look...and enjoy looking at girls showing their goodies when they bend over or go up stairs (by the way, don't wear underwear, that is an even hotter look)...

I wish I had your bf's problem. I can only get my wife to wear a skirt or dress if we are attending a formal occasion and as soon as it is over she is back in pants or shorts. If I knew your guy I'd slap him on the back of his head and caution him to count his blessings.

this has about 7 surveys in one! this shouldn't have gotten out of qual...... that being said: your being faithful or not has nothing to do with whether or not he complains about what you wear. and he has the right to complain about what ever he wants and you need to decide whether to continue to listen to the complaints and comply. so you and he either have trust or not!

You should be careful about what you wear not because of what your boyfriend says, but for yourself. Women will wear all kinds of revealing clothing, and yes, of course, they have full right to wear whatever the hell they want, but it can sometimes draw unwanted attention. Unless attention is what you want, in which case disregard what I just said.

Your boyfriend does have a right to express his discomfort with what you are wearing, and if you love him you will work with him to come to agreement on a solution that has both of you comfortable. Certainly there are skirts and dresses available that are longer than what you are wearing. Would you be comfortable wearing those?

How the hell did this pass????

You should wear mini skirts, no panties, high heels and see-through blouses with no bra.

I think you should wear what you want. It sounds like your boyfriend has some jealousy/control issues that he needs to get a handle on. I think it should be a warning sign when your boyfriend starts commenting on your weight, what you wear, where you've been, etc.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you feel more comfortable in short skirts rather than more modest clothing? Is it because you link your worth as a person to your ability to appear sexually attractive? If that's the case then maybe your boyfriend has a point, but it certainly doesn't give him any right to dictate what you choose to wear.

This is a planet of free will. You can wear and do what you want. He can complain aobut what ever he wants to.

I think you consider his input, while he understands your comfort level. I don't see a black and white response to this.

Personally, I think women, or girls should dress with modesty. If a girl or woman dresses seductively, there is nothing left to the imagination. Creating lust is not a good thing.

Hey cerealkiller. They found a woman dead in my town last week. She was totally naked in a bath tub full of milk. She had a banana in her mouth, and a spoon in her butt. The police think it was a cereal killer. Have you been around here ?
