Am I being disrespectful?

I’ve being in a relationship for almost 2 years and my boyfriend thinks I don’t respect him in the sense that, he says wearing jeans, applying makeup on, wearing wigs are all not good because the Bible speaks against it. I really tried to stop at first but this is so hard for me stop because I am young lady and I feel like I need to dress up nicely and all that. We’re at the edge of breaking up because of these things and I feel like sometimes he sounds very controlling too. Should I continue to listen to him to stop or I should just do what my heart pleases me to do.
Please HELP !!!

Um… I need him to point to the scriptures that speak about wearing make up, wigs, and denim jeans please :thinking: actually no I don’t… It doesn’t exist and he’s using religion as a shield to be abusive and controlling. Tell him to holy-roll his controlling ass out the door

You should feel free to be yourself. If you cannot then it is the wrong relationship

Bet 100% he watches porn and checks out other women. Ask him what the Bible says about that and then tell him to gouge his eye out. :rofl::rofl:

Run. Any man who uses religion to control his wife/partner is an abuser. And that’s coming from someone who believes in the word and believes in God.

He’s controlling you. Don’t let him

Don’t ever let a man or anyone dictate what you can or can’t no for your own self n your confidence.

Always follow your heart. He wants to own you!

It might not even be that he is controlling maybe he really is into religion. However if you don’t agree with his religion or his view of life beat thing is to date someone more compatible with you.

Its funny that the same women who say if a woman doesn’t like porn the man should respect her and stop are the same people saying run. Instead of doing what either of you want maybe tone down what you do a bit and compromise. Like maybe no wig but keep the make up or wear less makeup. Something that both of you can feel better about.

Guuuurl that man isn’t for you. That’s a :triangular_flag_on_post:. Absolutely no man has any right to control how you dress or wear make up. Let it break you up, then go find a man that will treat you right

If your not allowed to grow, your not allowed to be you? It’s not disrespectful. It’s him controlling you. You won’t be happy if you stay! Nothing will change except him becoming more controlling & you’ll fight more or you will give into him & cowered down to him.

Do you tell him how to dress? It works both ways. He is over the top!

This is not faith. These are rules of religion. And religion is what people use manipulate other people. His behavior is a reflection of his own insecurities. He’s using religious rules, disguised as faith, to manipulate you. Get out, my dear.

Bible freak! He literally has a psychological problem. You need to run now or risk being with a psycho who will end up hurting you if he can’t control you.

Pretty sure if he’s looking at it with a “Christian” standpoint, he’d know that God would want you to feel good and confident, dressing up encourages success and a healthy wellbeing. Sounds like he’s deflecting his own insecurities onto you…

If those were his beliefs he should of never got with you in the first place knowing you like those things. You can’t form someone into something you want. You love them for who they are or not at all!

He sounds religious which is fine. Did you know this before hand and that he thought this way? The Bible does say these things. My advice is if you don’t agree walk away now. I don’t see it as controlling. I am religious but this is one I don’t abide by at all. My husband doesn’t mind. But if his faith does you will never work through it. He believes what he believes. Asking someone to change that is disrespectful to me. Also him not understanding your points is also disrespectful. I say therapy . Maybe you can work through it.

No one should tell you how you can and cannot dress. Period.

Why be with someone that’s hell bent on telling you everything you enjoy or everything about you is bad, sinful and just wrong…leave and be happy…and yourself…dude I don’t even see why this is a question to ask yourself let alone fb…be the best and happiest you can to you and I don’t think that means being with someone that literally is telling you everything about you is wrong…or everything you like or enjoy for yourself is wrong…nah go find someone that loves and respects you for the beautiful all dressed up makeup wearing self that you deserve that tell you how freaking amazing you are and beautiful you are and is proud of the way you look and feel about the way you look not someone that’s embarrassed or shameful for you trying to look and feel your best… you deserve better…you know that…good luck girl…his beliefs is something that can’t be changed or will change over time it’s his beliefs and his mindset and it won’t change or get better…it’s always going to be an issue and will always be him telling you that the way you carry yourself isn’t right…and controlling what you wear and that’s just not what a relationship should have to go through…doesn’t sound like happiness…or even settling on small things cuz the good out weigh the bad…this is beyond bad to feel like a relationship can work when you know it’s his way or knowing how he thinks of you as a human and person if you choose to dress or do things your way…knowing he is ashamed or feels your sinful or whatever by dressing your way or wearing make up is something I couldn’t live with if I felt someone was supposed to love me but thought these things about me…

If this was an issue before dating him, why did he stick around? 2 years in and he wants you to change now?

If your religions don’t line up you can leave also he can believe in what he wants without projecting that onto others sounds like he needs to be with someone who is on the same page . Bible speaks against a lot of things I’m sure he does as well

Find someone who is okay with you being YOU! he also needs to find someone who has his mindset.
I’d get out now!

Nothing wrong with being religious but he needs to find someone that is a member of his church. He cant change you and shouldnt try to.

No no no, run. This is controlling. You are a thing woman and expressing yourself is not anything bad at all

Leave. I’m sorry, but it only gets worse.

We all have different religions practices. If that’s how he chooses to follow and believe then he needs to find someone who doesn’t mind and agrees. It’s very Old Testament, but obviously not your idea of worship.
Sit down and discuss your ideas. Maybe you are meant to be maybe you are not.

Omg do what makes u happy…it’s clear he’s being controlling u have make yourself happy before anyone esle can

He’s controlling- leave !!!

Girl one word: RUN. This guy is not the one.

If that’s his belief then you either need to not be with him because you don’t agree or learn to grow with it. Was he this way at the beginning or did it change over time?

The Bible also speaks against premarital sex. So is it safe to assume that y’all haven’t slept together yet?:thinking::face_with_raised_eyebrow:
IMO, you shouldn’t have to change who you are. There’s NOTHING wrong with you dolling yourself up. He sounds insecure and controlling. My advice is to move on and finds someone that’s happy with ALL of you. :woman_shrugging:t4:

Honey the Bible doesn’t say that… if I were I’d leave him now …he is trying to control you

I’m curious as to what Bible verses specifically name wigs, jeans, and make up on women as sinful? Also, he doesn’t sound controlling, he IS controlling, and it will only get worse. They’re on their good behavior when you’re just dating.

He sounds and is incredibly religious in a abusive controlling way! The Bible doesn’t say anything like that.
U will deeply regret it by staying he can physically force u to do what he claims is holy and it’s cult like attitude. Same happened to my sister and she hardly escaped when it got really bad.

The Bible also says sex B4 marriage!!! So is HE doing that or are Y’all having SEX??? If You are then that answers your question…. It’s ok for him but U can’t because the Bible says!!! GTFOOH

Okay so obviously you have different views so if neither of you are willing to compromise it is time to wash your hands of the relationship.

And this is why so many people have been pushed away from religion because too many people especially men use it to control women!
You are grown and no one should tell you how to live.

Lol :laughing: he may also he saying it because ur dressing un savory and ur a fucking mom and doesn’t wanna be rude so makes it about religion dress like a mom not a single mom problem solved show some respect for ur self and ur kids maybe the future Gen won’t be so willing to spread if u show them some fucken class
