Should I wear gym shorts in front of my bfs family?

[Anonymous]

Hey GAG , it’s been a while.

I have re downloaded this app to ask a confrontational topic about whether I should wear shorts in front of my boyfriend’s family. Me and my boyfriend are going back home to visit his parents for their wedding and we will be staying with them, it’s his mom dad and two younger brothers. On a regular basis, I wear gym shorts as a daily wear. I have created outfits and ordered from SHEIN to avoid my daily habits of wearing shorts, but I will wear shorts when I work out for sure. My problem is, when me and my boyfriend go to the gym, his brothers may want to tag along OR i might workout in their garage and use their tread mill. Half my workout consist of me wearing an oversized sweater dress to do cardio and the other half is taking it off and doing weights. Should I do my best to avoid being in gym shorts at all times? If i workout out in their garage I would of course need to come back inside the house and shower. I will be doing my workouts as early as I can. I just don’t know if it’s crossing boundaries or I’m just over thinking it. I’m just doing my best to not make my bfs mom feel some type of way. But I will say, she is young spirited and wears gym shark herself so I just have no idea if would be ok if I did too. And if they’re any girls who would like to give some insight on what they wear around their bfs families would be great thanks all!!

How many years have you known them and how long are the shorts?

[Asker]

Me and my boyfriend are going on 5 years. And these are gym shorts like biker shorts. They are kind of gym shark style just another brand

Well, it’s five years later they should know you and trust you that you’re not that kind of a girl and they’re probably long shorts anyway

[Asker]

Yes but we live across the country and haven’t seen them in two years I believe. I’ve lost 50 lbs since and I’ve been slowly gaining muscle. The shorts are folded up and prolly land an inches under my bum. I don’t feel as connected to the family to know whether it’s ok or not

Well, you haven’t seen them in two years where something classy not shorts for the first visit. congratulations on your 50 pound weight loss

Yes I shopped on SHEIN recently and got outfits that are a bit more conservative but I want to feel beautiful at the same time. The mom is so cool and dresses young and I don’t want to be the one dressing like a dude. I had to find a balance. I also got a skirt that has shorts under as well, it’s like a tennis skirt. Is that ok?

[Iron_Man]

you’re gonna have to show me pictures because I don’t know how short the skirts are and how short the shorts are

[Asker]

Haha nice try buddy. But in all seriousness they are short, but I’m a short individual, 5’2 but nothing shows.

What the heck? I’m highly offended. Did I say send me pictures of you? No I didn’t it could be on a model or they can be on a mannequin from an online catalog. Any way you’re not supposed to wear short shorts in front of the guys parents. You highly offended me this conversation is over

[Asker]

Notice how i put “haha” because that’s how jokes work. But that’s fine, have a good one :)
