So I was telling my mom about something that happened with my boyfriend and now she’s starting to get a bad feeling about my boyfriend. What do I do with that intuition?

Sometimes parents know best. They’ve been in the dating game before and have likely been in your shoes. When you explain those situations she’s telling you bc she cares about you and can sense the red flags likely faster than you can to save you. I’m sure if you told a trusted friend the same thing they’d say the same thing out of pure love and honesty. But your bf sounds really manipulative and doesn’t truly like you for you in your scenario. I’d get a bad feeling too

So for the first incident that got her feeling iffy was that I was in the ER a few weeks ago and he refused to visit me Then it was that she noticed I’ve had to completely change my style for him because he said that I wasn’t really his type but that since I’ve been dressing more femininely and growing my hair out after having it short for almost five years Now it’s that him and I have been super distant lately and he’s been spending more time with his friends than with me

I think your mom is totally right. He sounds like a bad guy. You shouldn’t be changing your style for him. If you want to experiment that’s fine! But don’t change for him

And like, don’t get me wrong, I love some of these new outfits, but others make me feel like I’m not quite myself, but he also noticeably likes my original style significantly less and some things I bring up wanting to do with my appearance, he just tells me straight up “That wouldn’t look good on you, I don’t like that” and even said about one thing “If you start doing that, I will leave you”

Came here from your latest post and yeah, break up with him. I’m sure your og style is fire, and you can do better. He ain’t worth all that

Whether or not it was, was up for interpretation tbf My old style consisted exclusively of basketball shorts and baggy jeans, band tees and those wild ass tees from Spencer’s, ankle socks, ratted ass sneakers, short hair, and baseball caps Now I’ve been made hyperfeminine and some days it’s nice, others I look at myself and I don’t even recognize who I am anymore

Yeah no my opinion stands that’s fire. And you can switch back and forth with however you feel on a particular day. I have the button downs and maxi skirts next to the stained jeans and cut up band Tees Do whatever makes you happy, and screw his opinion.
