My bf shamed me over having my hair removed

He recently asked me how l'm always completely hairless. I told him honestly that I did full body laser hair removal for nearly two years. I got this done when I was 15 to 17. He got weird and literally called me a 'sl*t' for it. I was shocked and I'm not sure how to feel or if I should be hearing him out on this? It felt really disrespectful. What even is this?

... Read moreNavigating the dating world comes with its own set of challenges, especially when personal choices are put under scrutiny. It's not uncommon for partners to have varying opinions on beauty standards and grooming practices. In this instance, body hair removal can be a deeply personal decision informed by cultural, social, or personal beliefs. The backlash from a partner may highlight a lack of understanding or respect for individual choices. It's crucial to communicate openly about such sensitive topics to build a healthy relationship. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, consider discussing your journey with hair removal openly. Explain the reasons behind your decision, whether it's for personal comfort, societal influences, or simply a preference. Healthy relationships thrive on respect, communication, and understanding, even when opinions differ. Remember, no one should feel ashamed of their choices regarding their body, and it's always important to set boundaries and expectations in a relationship. If behavior is disrespectful, it's essential to evaluate the dynamics and decide if the relationship aligns with your values.

I am going to suggest, without knowing either one of you, that he doesn't love you. He only wants sexual fulfillment for himself with this imaginary woman he has in his head. I predict your relationship won't last.
