I started wearing clothing that made me feel empowered & but my mother-in-law to-be said I looked like a prostitute

03/30/2022

A WOMAN has revealed her mother-in-law described her fashion choices as that of a ''prostitute''.

Taking it to Reddit's AITA (Am I the A**hole) section, one user, who goes by the name u/Anxiety_bunni, shared the rather unpleasant encounter she had with the partner's mum.

According to the post, Anxiety Bunni has always suffered from low self-esteem and body issues.

Seeing his wife-to-be struggling with learning to love her appearance, the fiancé suggested exploring fashion and began encouraging to wear things that made his bride feel ''confident and empowered''.

However, the issues began to arise when she asked his ''very Christian'' mum to browse for wedding dresses together – an offer the mother-in-law declined, warning to buy ''something modest''.

''I assured her that I would take that into account, but she obviously didn’t think I took her seriously.

''She went behind my back to tell my partner that I had actually dressed inappropriately on multiple occasions, that they were too embarrassed to look at me, that I looked like a prostitute, and that he should police and control my clothing choices more.''

For context, she explained, her ''inappropriate'' outfits included strapless tops, long black boots, high heels and knee-length skirts.

''I ended up confronting her when he showed her messages to me, and tried to be civil and understanding of her beliefs and views, but that I wouldn’t be willing to choose a wedding dress completely based on her views.''

For Anxiety Bunni, it had always been ''my body, my choice'' – a view that her fiancé also supported.

However, it appears, that this conversation didn't go too well, as the mother-in-law repeated her opnion yet again, even going as far as claiming that her clothing choices made the rest ''uncomfortable''.

''She didn’t apologise for the hurt she caused, and was angry at my partner for sharing her messages about me, with me,'' the Redditor added, saying she had decided to go shopping with her ''much more supportive'' mum.

Someone else agreed, urging Anxiety Bunni to reflect on the current relationship: ''Decide if u want to marry into this family [sic]. This lady will end up being your enemy.''
