Listen to this boyfriend complain about the “embarrassing” outfits his girlfriend wears to work. Anyone who’s spent time in elementary school knows that teachers dealing with young children are generally a.) incredible and b.) often love to have fun with their attire. Why? Because kids adore it! Whimsical, themed outfits are a blast for both educators and students. However, one insecure guy took to Reddit’s “Am I The Asshole” subreddit to vent about how humiliating he finds his girlfriend’s “Miss Frizzle” style.
Let’s get one thing straight: Miss Frizzle, the queen of The Magic School Bus, is a fashion icon and deserves the utmost respect. Disagreeing with this is simply unacceptable. Most reasonable people share this sentiment, which is why the boyfriend who complained online has faced significant backlash for his controlling and intolerable behavior.
“My girlfriend is a preschool teacher, and for reasons I can’t comprehend, she dresses like Ms. Frizzle,” the guy writes. “She wears dresses featuring the themes they study, and she even makes matching masks. The kids love it, and the parents think it’s fantastic. But honestly, I don’t like the attention she gets. I wish she would change before running errands.”
Let’s address two facts right away: his girlfriend teaches toddlers, so of course they’re going to be drawn to her fun outfits, and the phrase “I don’t like the amount of attention she gets” is a huge red flag.
He shared that one day, while his girlfriend was with his mother in her work attire, he felt embarrassed by her cute outfit. To make matters worse, he threw his mom under the bus by claiming she was also embarrassed. “I didn’t expect her to call my mom and apologize,” he continues. “When my mom asked what she meant, my girlfriend explained what I said. My mom was furious and told me that she thinks it’s wonderful how my girlfriend engages her students. She then scolded me for lying and trying to shift the blame onto my girlfriend because I was being an insecure jerk.”
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MOM HAS IT FIGURED OUT, BUDDY. Raise your hand if you’d feel utterly embarrassed if your adult son acted this way. *Shudders*
To cut to the chase, the couple had a big argument, and he kept belittling her clothing choices. “I told her she should be embarrassed to be seen in public like that,” he lamented. “She responded that the only thing she was embarrassed about was me. Since then, she hasn’t spoken to me or done anything for me. My friend said I was terrible and called me trash. I shouldn’t have lied, but I think my girlfriend should consider my thoughts on her clothing, and I’m not sorry for wanting her to dress more suitably in public. Am I really such an asshole here?”
The AITA post gained traction on Twitter, so let’s see what the wise folks of the internet think about it.
The original poster further revealed his abusive attitude in comments on the post. And in case you’re curious about the outcome—many of these stories leave us hanging—buckle up because it’s a good one.
“EDIT: I’m sure you’ll be glad to know we broke up tonight. She said I’m too controlling and narrow-minded, so she ended things with me.”
