Today, my boyfriend said that no, I'm not allowed to get glasses and then accused me of wanting to see other men. No, I just want to see. FML

Today, my wife and I went shopping for new glasses at a local store, but we didn't really get to actually buying one. On our way back, she warned me that my glasses of choice should in no way be 'those big arty ones'. When I asked her why not, she told me that I 'look gay enough already'. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were cuddling in bed. After looking at me for a while he said, "you look better when I'm not wearing my contacts". FML

Today, I went with my boyfriend to the optometrist for him to buy contact lenses for the first time. He said the detail was much better than glasses. I excitedly asked him if he could see my freckles better now, and after a long and disappointed look at my face, he said "Nope, just more acne." FML

Today, my boyfriend bitched me out for being too controlling. Apparently, not only am I being unreasonable by not wanting him visiting strip clubs with his friends, I'm also just "looking for excuses to get mad" at him. FML

Today, my boyfriend spent an hour lecturing me on how I need to ask for what I want. So I asked him to delete a crappy picture he'd taken of me the night before. His response: "No, you don't always get what you want." FML

Today, I had an argument with my boyfriend who was accusing me of only being in a relationship with him because I'd fantasised about being with an Asian. When I told him he was wrong, he asked me what attracted me to him in the first place. "Your eyes" was definitely the wrong answer. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML

He sounds controlling. If I ever had a partner who told me i couldn't wear my glasses I would probably break up with them. Someone who is controlling and won't let you see properly isn't someone you would want in your life.

Any romantic relationship where "allowed" comes up like this, in earnest, you need to take a good, long look at what you're doing with that person.

Doesn’t he remember the old ditty: “Men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses???”

At least look into contacts! I’m really being serious! If my girl got geeky classes I probably wouldn’t stay around.

Wish I could marry my left hand! Be a lot cheaper and less annoying. Imagine the look on their faces when I take a $100,000 life insurance policy on it then three days later walking in with my hand cut off!

If this is a legit post, op, please get out. That's an extremely controlling and abusive move. This behavior will only continue to get worse if you stay. Today it's glasses. Tomorrow it's makeup. Then, certain clothing. Them, he'll be choosing ALL of your clothing. He may also decide that he's not sure he can trust you to be around your friends and family. After all, in his mind, they'll probably want to hook you up with other guys ALL THE TIME just to upset him. There are cases where even if there's no physical abuse, a controlling partner will decide what their victim is even allowed to eat, when to sleep, and even use the bathroom. I don't know you, but that's not a life I want for you.
