Boston Bruins Grinch Christmas Ugly Sweater

Reddit is missing the point here imo. Comments are right, this is hazing. It’s extremely common in all male circles. Frats, blue collar jobs in the Boston Bruins Grinch Christmas Ugly Sweater, oil and gas all do some form of hazing. It exists for a reason. Hazing should not be physically harmful, etc. but some form of fun at the expense of the newbie. By wearing the sweater and playing along to a harmless tradition you are showing that you are cooperative and willing to compromise. To me this sounds like a very small hill to die on. And life will probably yield lots of small hills. Die on the big hills. One thing that really changed the situation was the dishonesty in her reneging on her end of the deal. Even driving separately and hiding it from him until she showed up. Really? If that’s her “boundary” she should not have said she would wear it but then she showed up without it. Surprise surprise, he was upset by that. To me OOP comes off as not cooperative and somewhat dishonest from this story. Let’s the downvotes begin.

It creates a Boston Bruins Grinch Christmas Ugly Sweater dynamic where men are also taught not to be forward or else they’ll come off as frightening or creepy. I think back to that Louis C.K. bit where he compares dating men to approaching wild animals with the hope that you won’t be eaten. Lots of men hear stories from that perspective and want to do anything but make someone else uncomfortable. Meanwhile lots of women hear that if they are forward then they will be shamed for it. When the lessons clash, both sexes wind up tiptoeing so they can quickly back out of attempted advances and play them off as just being friendly.

If I had received such a Boston Bruins Grinch Christmas Ugly Sweater, my reaction would have been almost exactly the same as your fiancés, and this is coming from a guy who has been with his wife for 37 years now. He opened it and put it in his pocket knowing 2 things; that the gift was anything but, that it was highly inappropriate and that he was at your family’s Christmas party. I do not believe that he hid it from you because he was going to use it, but rather because he knew exactly how you were going to react. If I were at the in-laws and I received a gift that I know would cause my fiancé to blow up the party, I would also have tried to hide it. Why? Because I don’t know everything that is going on. Is Anna known for bad jokes ? Has she done other things like this? Is she mentally ill? (Actually, that is the very first thing that would have crossed my mind had I received this.) All of these are good reasons to avoid a confrontation. But no matter what, I would have tried to avoid ruining the night for everyone, especially the people who were not involved in all of this.
