There’s a fine line between taking care of your loved ones and controlling their life by limiting what they can, or can’t do. No one likes to get “bossed” around but in a relationship, how do you feel about your partner who has a say in how you dress up?
In an anonymous confession shared on Zuvio, a Taiwanese woman shared her disbelief about her boyfriend after an ordeal she had with him.

She wrote,
“Due to the long weekend holidays, I decided to go to Kenting beachside and bought my very first bikini.
“I actually have a good body figure, but I’ve never been daring enough to wear one, because I was so paranoid that people may sneak a peak at my chest while I wasn’t looking.

Finally the year has comeĀ
She continues,
“I finally made a breakthrough mentally that year that I was finally going to wear a bikini, even my boyfriend agreed I should wear it when I’m in Kenting!
“When we’re there, I finally put it on and took some photos of my outfit in the women’s locker room. I felt proud of myself for finally wearing one and so I took a bunch of photos to document this moment in history for me.
“However, once my boyfriend found out that I took photos, he was furious on the spot. I was so scared.
He told me I didn’t respect him
“I thought about it again and again. I agreed with him, but I didn’t think it would conjure such a big reaction from him.
“It’s so big, that he wanted to break up.”
“He told me when men sees women wearing bikinis, they’d create their own fantasies. He isn’t able to accept other men daydreaming about his girlfriend in a bikini.
“Till today, I still apologise to him. But he never changed his mind about the breakup and he feels that my body has been seen by other men, and he can no longer accept me. I’m dumbfounded.”

The recent argument about her attire took place when both visited the beach where the man was not happy that her GF appeared half-naked, with half of her body exposed to the public.
“What are you supposed to wear then?”
Netizens who read her confession believed that it was time for the woman to dodge the bullet, given his controlling nature.
“My BF would be happy knowing that I got the attention for wearing a bikini. He’s fine as long as my private parts are not revealed. What are you supposed to wear? A long pants?”
“What are you waiting for? Dump him.”
“I would allow my GF to wear if she wants but with safety measurements, of course.”
“If you’re here ranting about your partner, you have the answer yourself. Break up.”
“You’re describing my ex. Break up, and you’ll feel a huge relief.”
“It depends on you. If you can’t accept then don’t force it. Do what’s right before you get married.”
Gentlemen, do you have issues with your partner wearing a bikini on the beach? Do you think the guy was being protective, or taking control of her life?
