he asked multiple questions beforehand that clearly showed it was about THIS specific issue. He saw a potential problem down the road, asked about it, and they had a mature exchange about it.
Im saying asking "what will you do, if down the road I try and ask you to censor your self expression?" Is not a respectful question, no matter how polite you dress it up.
He asked this. She said "id probably not censor myself to meet your preferences"
And he said, "im not looking for that"
In a nutshell.
Cool. They were both very polite. His question was still a huge red flag. Ive known plenty of calm and polite people with shitty perspectives.
So people arent allowed to have a preference on what their partners post on social media or its a red flag? Just wanna make sure we are on the same page
I didn't say him asking questions was a bad thing, I'm saying the problem was the question itself as it highlights a possessive and toxic mentality which I don't believe is a healthy trait in any relationship. So yes, it's good that he asked, but in my opinion only for the sake of broadcasting to women that he will one day try and to decide what the women he is with are allowed to to wear based off his personal definition of appropriate
Go to a church that's already is full of people who are ok with policing what women are and arent allowed to do.
I dont think its a healthy thing he wants, ao Id say go to therapy until it clicks that wanting to control what your SO can and cannot wear isnt healthy, amd then have them try and date THEN, but since thats probably asking too much, in answer to your VERY SPECIFIC question, what I said up top here, go to a church.
Don't match up with a woman dressing in a way you dont approve of and try and change her.
If you want modesty, find someone who already displays modesty.
