Her Boyfriend Called Her Selfish Since She Wouldn’t Give Her Old Prom Dress To His Little Sister, Who Can’t Afford To Get A Designer Gown
This 18-year-old girl just graduated high school and is in a relationship with her boyfriend, who is 20. He recently attended her senior prom with her.
However, back when she was in eleventh grade, she also went to her junior prom. And now, her boyfriend wants her to give her old prom dress to his sister.
For some context, her boyfriend’s family is poor and dealing with a lot of financial struggles.
“But I try to be as supportive as I can,” she said.
So, her boyfriend’s sister, who’s 16, does not have a dress to wear to her junior prom.
The gown that she wore was apparently a designer dress, and at the time, her boyfriend’s sister watched her take prom pictures in it. Since then, his sister has always said how much she loved the gown.
“Anyway, even though I obviously didn’t plan to wear it again, I wanted to keep it as a keepsake,” she explained.
Her boyfriend, on the other hand, thought she should just gift the dress to his little sister for free.
She wasn’t okay with that idea and pointed out how stores would have gowns on sale at the start of the school year.

Nonetheless, her boyfriend kept pushing because he wanted his sister to have the experience of wearing a designer dress.
Still, even if she could just loan the gown to her boyfriend’s sister, she doesn’t think that would work. After all, his sister is much shorter than her, so some major alterations would need to be made.
“That’s why he wants me to give it for free because just doing the alterations would stretch them thin financially. But he wants it to be special for her,” she detailed.
To be clear, she is touched by how much her boyfriend cares for and looks out for his sister. Even so, she really wanted to keep her own junior prom dress.
She tried telling her boyfriend that, too, yet he actually just accused her of being selfish.
He claimed that his sister, who goes to a private school on a full-ride scholarship, is surrounded by rich kids, and he just wants her to fit in at prom.
Her boyfriend also argued that the dress would just sit in her closet since she wouldn’t wear it again.
“And he was insanely pushy about it, and now he won’t speak to me,” she vented.
This whole situation has left her wondering if refusing to give away her old prom dress is justified or makes her a real jerk.
Can you understand why she doesn’t want to part with her junior prom dress? Or should she help her boyfriend’s little sister out? What would you do?
