When my boyfriend and I started dating, I was head over heels for him.
I never felt so strongly for someone before and I was sure that he felt the same for me.
We had been together for about a year and a half when he started to hint that I should wear something different underneath my clothes instead of the usual.
I didn’t think much about it, assuming he was just trying to spice things up a bit by asking for a change in my lingerie choices so I continued wearing whatever I was wearing.
One day, he came out and said that he didn’t find me attractive anymore because I always wore granny-style lingerie.
I was shocked and hurt, and I couldn’t understand how he could think that way.
I had always been comfortable in my lingerie, and I thought that he did not have any comments as long as I was comfortable in what I was wearing.
To make matters worse, he also said that he thought my body was “unattractive” and that I should wear something “more revealing”.
I was devastated. I had never felt so rejected or ashamed of myself and my choice of lingerie.
I had always been comfortable with what I was wearing as from the age when I started growing, my mother and grandmother has been the one bringing me lingerie shopping.
Even when my bf offered me to bring me to buy better looking ones, I had always rejected it because of comfort.
This episode got me thinking if I should change for him though.
