In a thought-provoking Reddit post shared on r/OffMyChest, an individual known as OP opens up about a concerning issue within their relationship. OP, engaged to their partner Ryan for six years, finds themselves facing an unexpected challenge rooted in purity culture and misogyny.
The story unfolds as OP takes on the responsibility of wedding planning, with occasional input from Ryan. However, a month prior to the wedding, Ryan expresses a peculiar request: he believes OP should not wear a white dress. Confused by this sudden suggestion, OP assumes it might be related to artistic considerations, but their preference for a white dress remains unwavering.
As tensions rise, a significant argument ensues when OP finally selects and pays for their dress. Ryan, visibly annoyed, demands to see the dress or at least know its color. When OP reveals it to be white, Ryan becomes increasingly upset, insisting that brides only wear white if they are “pure.” This revelation exposes the deep-rooted insecurities surrounding OP’s sexual past, which had caused initial challenges in their relationship.
Ryan turns to his mother for support, hoping she will side with him. However, to his surprise, she empathizes with OP. In a dramatic confrontation, Ryan, his mother, and OP engage in a heated discussion about the symbolism of the white dress. His mother even suggests that if purity is the concern, Ryan should wear red as well, given his own sexual experiences.
