When the woman confronted her partner, he refused to apologize and got mad when she asked that he replace all of the pairs

Since the poster was a phlebotomist and had to interact with patients in her laboratory on a daily basis, she used to wear cheerful socks to make them feel happy. She also enjoyed wearing the creative patterns and had built up a massive collection of 30 pairs of socks that she wore whenever she got the chance.

Although it might seem like a minor thing or a silly hobby, research has found that people who are willing to sport funky socks often tend to be creative and confident. This is because they tend not to shy away from doing something that others might feel embarrassed about, and are comfortable flaunting their wacky patterns and designs.

Unfortunately for the poster, her older boyfriend didn’t like her cute socks and felt that she was being childish by wearing them. Since they made him so uncomfortable, she had also taken to only wearing them in her workplace and had promised him never to put them on while on dates or around his loved ones.

When a person dislikes their partner’s sense of style like this, fashion experts state that it can be a difficult hurdle to get over. This is mainly if one individual is always trying to control what the other person wears or expects them to stop being creative with the things that they put on their body.

Since the poster was always trying to be on her best behavior around her boyfriend, she didn’t think it would be a problem when she accidentally forgot his rule and wore her colorful socks in front of his parents. Unfortunately, he didn’t find the situation amusing and secretly got rid of her collection.

When she found out that he had thrown away 30 pairs of her socks and only left the plain black ones for her, she was furious. She confronted him about going through her personal possessions and getting rid of them without even talking to her about it, but despite all that, he didn’t show any remorse.

According to experts, loved ones aren’t supposed to throw away things that are precious to you without your permission. When such a thing happens, it shows that one person doesn’t respect their significant other, and it can signal that there are a lot of underlying problems in the relationship.

It’s clear that the man only wanted the poster to follow his rules and didn’t care about her self-expression or passion for crazy socks. That’s why he took such drastic measures, but it only ended up showing the OP exactly how he was trying to control her. Hopefully, this situation and the advice from netizens opened her eyes and made her rethink being with such a partner.
