The average boyfriend is far more thrilled by what’s under the clothes (whether it’s lingerie or your nekid body) than the clothes themselves, hon.
With my ex, anytime we planed a night out, meant that she HAD to go buy a new outfit.
Doing this in moderation; I could understand. But every freak’n time? Come on!
I don’t think it would have killed her to wear the same outfit more than once.
You want your girl looking good, up until you marry her. At that point, other considerations take precedence (see below). You didn’t say how old you are, but a year or two after marriage, he will realize that it is all down hill at that point. The new has worn off and he has to look at other things besides your hot bod.
Also, unless your husband is Justin Beaver, you probably spend too much. Most musicians don’t make that much.
You could be violating other men rules (see below), and that manefests itself as griping about clothes. Other men rule violations you may want to check are listed in order of importance:
- Talking too much.
- Supper not ready on time. (Lack of creativity in the kitchen)
- Spending too much money.
- Your mother/friends/relatives
Hahahahaha! That’s really funny! (only if you’re kidding) either way! Funny!
Touché
Sure. If you want to settle for average. 
I collect vintage advice books, and one from the thirties says that men know two things about women’s clothing: it is flimsy and expensive.
Having said that, I think men consciously or subconsciously appreciate it when a woman looks nice.
The trick is to look nice and still keep your own clothes in your own closet.
I hate to shop.
Probably why I don’t have a lot of clothes.
I grew up with women who love to shop, who live to shop.
Their idea of shopping for a dress would include going to no fewer than six stores, trying on at least a dozen dresses at each, checking out all the accessories, lunching at a trendy cafe, lots of gossip and then returning to the very first store and buying the first they tried on.
My idea of shopping for a dress means going to the most convenient store, picking out the first thing I see that is the right size, color and price, paying for it and getting out.
They can also make an entire day out of getting their hair done.
A woman’s definition of “looking good” is not necessarily the same thing as a man’s definition of “looking good.” So far as I’m concerned, my SO is “looking good” even when she doesn’t put much effort, time, or expense into it.
As for why it might matter – Her clothes and shoes are all over the place, taking up room everywhere, and they’re always in the way.
He married you. He already thinks you look good. He sees you every morning and thinks you look good enough to come home to every night. Are you trying to look good for him or for the next sucker you can find?
You don’t have to dress a certain way to promote his band. You could dress like Cher and it wouldn’t make a bit of difference if his band sucked. Nirvana did OK even though Courtney Love looked like crap. Does he have “all the seasons of clothes”? He probably has a T-shirt, a warm jacket and wears the same pants Winter & Summer.
Quit complaining. You want to live the rock star life and he isn’t a rock star. If you want to get the mansion in the divorce then you’re going to have to write him some hit songs.
This has nothing to do with his band. This has nothing to do with him. This thread was to see how many husbands or boyfriends get upset with your girls or wife’s for having lots of clothes or shoes. You people that come on these things and just spout out diarrhea of the mouth is “drama queens” I am 31 years old, I had my own house and car until recently a month ago we got married. Now we are trying to live with each other. If I want to buy clothes, I have my own money! Thank you! I am a confident girl that likes to look good and it doesn’t matter if his band is in the top 10 or nothing!
