This boyfriend is really pushing for his girlfriend to upgrade her work wardrobe, and he’s not holding back about it.
Anyone who’s ever been in a classroom knows that teachers, especially those working with young kids, often have a flair for fun outfits. They wear themed and whimsical clothes that make learning exciting—after all, kids adore it! However, one particularly insecure boyfriend took to Reddit’s ‘Am I The Asshole’ subreddit to complain about how he finds his girlfriend’s “Ms. Frizzle” style to be embarrassing.
Ms. Frizzle: A Fashion Icon
Let’s get one thing straight: Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus is a fashion icon, and anyone who disagrees clearly misses the point. Most reasonable people understand this, which is why the boyfriend’s outcry has resulted in a wave of backlash against his controlling attitude.
“My girlfriend is a preschool teacher, and for some reason I can’t explain, she dresses like Ms. Frizzle,” he laments. “She wears dresses that match whatever subject they’re covering, and she even makes matching masks. The kids love it, and the parents think it’s great. But honestly, I don’t like the amount of attention she gets. I wish she would change before we run errands.”
Red Flags and Awkward Moments
First off, it’s important to note that she’s teaching toddlers, so of course they’re going to love her outfits. Secondly, his discomfort with her attention is a huge red flag.
The boyfriend recounted an awkward moment when his girlfriend was out with his mother while wearing her work clothes. He felt embarrassed, not his mother, and he even blamed his mom when he told his girlfriend that she was embarrassed by her outfit. “I wasn’t expecting her to call my mom and apologize,” he shared. “When my mom learned what I said, she was furious and explained that she thinks it’s great how my girlfriend engages her students. My mom then reprimanded me for lying and trying to throw my girlfriend under the bus because I was being insecure.”
It’s clear that his mother is on the girlfriend’s side.
The Fallout
Fast forward to their argument: the boyfriend continued to criticize her outfit choices. “I told her she should be embarrassed to be seen in public like that,” he said. “She replied 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 called me trash for lying. I know I shouldn’t have lied, but I think she should consider my opinion on her clothes. Am I really the asshole here?”
This post blew up on Twitter, and the online community had plenty to say about it.
In further comments, he revealed himself to be quite the controlling partner. And as for the ending of this saga? Well, it gets better: “EDIT: I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know we broke up tonight. She said I’m too controlling and narrow-minded, so she ended things.”
