Guy Flips Out Over Pajamas, Girlfriend Responds By Plotting A Quiet Escape: “It’s Been Eye-Opening”

Who doesn’t like to have a pajama day every now and then? The whole point of sleepwear is comfort and coziness. And if you’re just chilling at home, then who cares what you wear, right? Wrong apparently. At least according to one guy who believes his girlfriend should dress up for him 24/7.

The girlfriend has told how her clothing choices have been an issue for her boyfriend since they started dating. But things really came to a head when he came home recently to find her half asleep in a stained tank top. The guy completely lost it, accusing her of being “disgusting and disrespectful.” She’s now wondering if it’s really worth sacrificing comfort for the sake of keeping the peace in her relationship. Netizens are urging her to wake up.

    Critical partners love to do these things…

    Many of us dream of finding a partner who accepts us as we are. Proverbial warts and all. But too often, people enter into relationships hoping they can change the person they’re with. Purely to suit their own wants and needs.

    Marriage.com defines a critical partner as someone who consistently engages in a pattern of behavior where they express disapproval, fault-finding, blame, and negative judgments toward their partner. “This behavior is marked by a tendency to focus on the partner’s perceived flaws, mistakes, or shortcomings in a hurtful, condescending, or dismissive manner,” reads the site.

    The person being criticized can end up with feelings of inadequacy, frustration, stress, anxiety  and of course, a strained relationship. There are a few telltale signs of a critical spouse, but if you feel deep down inside that you have one, there’s a good chance you’re right. 

    One of the major red flags is frequent nitpicking. They’re constantly pointing out small flaws, like how you dress, how you eat or drink, how you hang the laundry. Nothing you do is good enough. 

    And it isn’t confined to private. Sometimes they might call you out or shame you in public. This, warns the marriage.com team, is a demeaning behavior that can severely impact your self-esteem. “It can also isolate you socially and make you hesitant to engage in social activities,” reads the site. “If your partner constantly criticizes you, this behavior can damage not only your self-image but also your social relationships.”

    Another (similar) sign is constant disapproval. “If your partner frequently expresses dissatisfaction with your actions, decisions, or even personal characteristics, it can lead to a cycle of seeking their elusive approval, eroding your self-confidence,” warn the Marriage.com experts, adding that you having to constantly seek validation can hinder your personal growth and create a power imbalance in the relationship. No matter how hard you try to live up to their expectations, your partner rarely, or never, acknowledges your efforts.

    A critical partner will keep raising the bar. Their standards get higher and higher, and the unreasonable expectations can leave you feeling exhausted and never quite good enough.

    They also love to blow things out of proportion. Even your smallest mistakes can trigger massive emotional responses from them. And you might feel like you’re walking on eggshells. “The constant fear of their reactions can lead to heightened anxiety and emotional exhaustion,” warn the experts.

    Many netizens warned the woman to leave immediately

    She's still young. You see, the thing about getting older is that you no longer try and justify this kind of behavior, you just say bye, and it doesn't take two years to do it.
