So suppose you have been with someone for say a year and you are pretty convinced they actually love you and they ask you to change something in your appearance that you consider fundamentally "you". For example they ask you to stop wearing sweats all the time and buy khaki pants instead or they ask you to stop wearing a padded bra or something like that. And you try to explain to them that you like the way you dress but they keep bringing it up and try to push you into buying new clothes. By "push you" I don't mean a statement like "if you don't stop wearing a padded bra, I will leave you" but they take you to stores and ask you to try bras on and try to talk you into buying them. It is important to note that they are asking you to stop wearing a padded bra because they really like your breasts the way they are or they want you to wear khakis because they think you have a hot butt and the sweats hide it. We are not talking about telling you to loose 10lb or do something else that shows that they don't like your body. They just don't like your clothes. What do you do
a) Eventually you buy khaki pants and start wearing them most of the time even though your sweat were much more comfy.
b) Continue wearing your sweats, if they don't like it they can go find someone else. You are not going to change for them.
c) You break up with them. You want them to love you just the way you are.
This is not really meant to be a multiple choice question, I am curious to hear people's thoughts. If my girlfriend asked me to start wearing skirts because she is attracted to women who look more femme, I have no idea what I would do.
