There’s one camp here that would say it’s your house and you should be able to wear what you want, but there’s another side that says making others uncomfortable is a d*%k move.
OP is “a practical nudist” and prefers to wear as few clothes as possible when hanging out at home.
Or at her boyfriend’s “sweet” apartment, even if his roommate is there. The roommate, however, says this is ok with him.
Ahem.
I’m pretty much a practical nudist, meaning that I love to wear as few clothes as practical. Naturally in social settings I try to be more careful. My bf and his roommate have a pretty sweet apartment downtown so we spend most of the time there.
He’s a really nice and chill guy and on days my bf and I don’t wanna get intimate, we just hang out in the living room drinking, smoking, and watching movies.
Sometimes I end up just hanging out in a towel after a shower. I explicitly checked with the roommate that this was ok and he didn’t mind.
The issue is that the roommate’s girlfriend does not think it’s ok, leaving OP to assume that the other girl is “just jealous” because most people would agree OP is “hotter.”
Unfortunately now, he has a new jealous girlfriend who DOESN’T hang out with us sometimes but she still feels like she needs to police what I’m wearing in the apartment of my boyfriend.
We got into a bit of a stupid text message exchange when she found out and she’s clearly jealous and insecure. It doesn’t help her self-esteem I guess that nine times out of 10 people are gonna say I’m the hotter person (beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that).
OP claims to not be self-centered and to not intent to make anyone uncomfortable, saying that she’s more than happy to cover up when the gf is around – so is she wrong?
I’m not self-centered, it’s purely a comfort thing. It’s not remotely sexual for me, so I think I’m in the right holding my stance. AITA here?
edit: I would cover up if she was around, for sure. I don’t intend to make any one uncomfortable, that was said in the beginning.
Reddit is about to let her know what they think!
The top commenter thinks OP needs to take a good, long, hard look in the mirror.
The wording in her post seems to have rubbed many commenters the wrong way.
I’m sure many people agree with this commenter.
More than a few folks out that as neither of them live there, perhaps they aren’t the ones who should be discussing this?
They say maybe OP should put herself in the roommate’s shoes.
I’m split on this one. OP could have not said some of the quiet part out loud, but if the owners of the apartment are fine with it, then maybe she’s not technically in the wrong?
Let us know in the comments whether or not you agree!
