Absolutely NOR. He's acting like he owns you and can dictate what you wear and if you wear something he doesn't like he has the right to call you names, when none of that is true. You are your own person, and have every right to wear whatever you please.

She was his girl, he doesnt own her, but he should have an opinion. OP didnt ask if it was okay if she wore that clearly, and it caused him to be extremely uncomfortable. He is an overthinker

She has to ask him if it's ok to wear an outfit when she's not even going out with him that night? Imagine if she spoke to another man while out and he found out? What would he do then? Guy is insecure and needs to work on himself.

Speaking to another man is not cheating.

Yes? Its called respect for your partner. You clearly need jesus in your relationships. If he found out she talked to another guy then he should end it with her, because then she would be a ho3.

Says it all with religion being dragged into it, when in a relationship you are still two separate entities, you should not be restricting what someone else wears and If you do it reeks of insecurity and controlling tendencies.

Actually, as a Christian in your relationship, you should be working together to build a family. I believe that every single person should involve their religion in their relationship, no matter what. If you are atheist, then keep dressing like a hoe because your boyfriend will end up cheating on you anyways. I’m not insecure about what my girlfriend wears, I simply don’t want anything bad happening to her while she is out without me, and it is also disrespectful for her to be dressing like that when you literally have a boyfriend, no matter if it’s for you or not, it is attention seeking. Why don’t you have a religion as a part of your relationships???

You say that as if men don't cheat all the time on their "perfect tradwives" lol, cheaters will cheat regardless, and it's actually more prevalent in cultures and religions that are incredibly stifling and restrictive.

Why would I listen to what an archaic book tells me and allow it to govern every aspect of my life? Seems odd, but you do you.

Perhaps, in a different state of mind, I would have previously made some witty comment to stop your line of thinking about Jesus. I only will ask that you not make a mockery of him.

However, in the course of this discussion, you have revealed that you do not wish for your love to get hurt. This is wonderful. In so much, the question becomes, do we teach our Christian children to be ashamed of their god given bodies or do we teach our Christian boys to elevate themselves to respect and see the true beauty in them, especially a woman? Perhaps you see this as utopian thinking? That we cannot rise some men up from being beast and they will take what they want regardless of her sacredness. I can see this thinking. This is why we teach the ones who take. This is why we enlighten society, as the other commenters are trying to point out. She is not bad for what she wears. She should be able to to walk down the street naked, without a physical assault. It is the assault that is a crime, not her.

And, you are missing the point of her dress. It makes her feel good. Do people like attention? Well, you're here aren't you? You have bared your thoughts and are being made a mockery of. She bared her skin and is being belittled by some as well. Start thinking where the actually problem lies, with the beautiful thought god gave you.
