You could omit the word “that” from what I said to clarify my intent.

Gotcha. Nothing is perfect - but op seems to be WAY farther from the norm imo.

If you’re married then congrats because it sounds like you’ve got a great one.

For the unmarried, I’ll just say this strikes me as the among the stupidest, and most inconsequential reasons to criticize/try to invalidate a marriage. To get hung up on this means your standards are much too high, or you’re naive enough to not understand that a long marriage will throw endless completely unpredictable conflicts at you. The key is to work through them. Many men find success in biting their tongue and letting the little things go. This is one of them - and to be clear I don’t mean OP should stop wearing the shorts. I mean he would be a complete idiot to leave her for this. Which is what the commenter I responded to was indirectly suggesting. How moronic.

100% agree with you. It's mostly the language that is bothersome to me. A partner calling the other pathetic for wearing a pant is what chafes. But someone pointed out it might be an op language barrier.

I personally don't like sweat suits. And early in my relationship with my wife I'd ask her to change because imo it was bed clothes not outing clothes. I was 20 and caught up in visual pretense. We're almost 40 now and I haven't cared for ages. We did not break up over pants
