Relationships are complicated. Sometimes things get awkward, and you’ll have to decide where to draw the line.
What is considered “awkward” will vary from person to person and from relationship to relationship. But some general guidelines can help you decide where to draw the line.
A user shared on a popular forum, Am I wrong for not buying my girlfriend a skirt and wants to know if he is wrong. We want to see from you.
Backstory:
The Original Poster (OP) is a 32-year-old male. He would meet up with friends and his girlfriend (a 28-year-old female).
What Happened When They Met?
OP’s girlfriend sat on a bench at the bus stop and did not realize it was wet. Because of this, her skirt got wet. She thought it was pee, but OP didn’t know what it was as it was brown, not yellow.
What Did OP Suggest
OP suggested they go, and it would dry off anyway, but OP’s girlfriend didn’t want to as she had convinced herself it was pee.
What Did She Ask
She asked OP to go to a nearby store to buy her a pair of knickers and a new skirt, but OP did not want to.
What Does He Say
He says, “I did not want to be seen like a creep buying women’s clothing. I offered her some unisex pants, but she insisted and said she wanted a skirt.”
What Happened Next
She then went and got her skirt. They took the next bus, and OP thought that was the end of it.
But then, when they got back home, she got upset with OP and said OP should have bought it for her or at least come in the store with her as it was embarrassing to go in like that.
What Does OP Say
OP says, “…but it was embarrassing for me too, and I shop at that store and do not want to become known as the creep who buys women’s clothing. I had offered to buy her pants, but she declined.”
What Did Others Say?
We think he is wrong. Buying clothes for women isn’t perceived as creepy by anyone. We think is just humane to help someone in need. A lot of users agreed that he was wrong.
“You’re 32, not 13 – if you think your masculinity would be damaged by buying your girlfriend a skirt then you clearly don’t have much to be secure in. You are wrong.” said one.
That Is NOT Creepy
“You are the jerk. A man buying women’s clothing is not creepy, my god. You wouldn’t even go in the store with your girlfriend if she was shopping for women’s clothes when it would be obvious that the clothes were for her? Grow up.” said another.
Noone Would Think Of You That Way
“You would not be a creep for buying women’s clothing and no one would ever see you that way. She asked you for a favor since her skirt was wet and who knows what it was. I take it you wouldn’t go buy her sanitary products if she were out and couldn’t go get them herself?”said another.
