Search Results: lifelong friends

I am 27 and currently rent a house with my lifelong best friend Kristen (who I've known since 2nd grade) and her boyfriend of 5 years, Dan. We lived together now for 3 years and everything is great. We have separate areas of the house and obviously separate bedrooms (I have my own and they share one together) Like anyone sharing a space, at night we watch TV together in the living room, have dinner together etc. Here is where the problem comes in. My boyfriend of 6 months thinks it's indecent that I wear sleepshirts and nighties when we are all in common areas of the house. He says I shouldn't be dressed the way I am in front of another guy. I like sleepshirts and nighties, it's what I find comfortable to lounge in. My lifelong friend and roommate has never made mention of me being indecent and neither has Dan her boyfriend/my other roommate. In 3 years time there has never been a complaint or issue. Kristen wears sleepshirts too! So girls, I need your opinion. Is my new boyfriend being controlling? Should I take a stand because it's my home and this is what I find comfy?

I found some images of a few sleepshirts and nighties I wear so you can see exact examples. What do you think?

My parents want me to pledge Delta but a part of me doesn’t want to for these reasons:

****Warning**** some of my reasons are shallow.

1) I don’t like being around only black people. I like to have a diverse group of friends.

2) I don’t like stepping anymore. I was on the step team for 3 years in HS and it wasn’t the best experience. I did enjoy stepping but I was often mistreated and overlooked because I didn’t act black enough.

3) I’m not really interested in black guys, I feel like if I join a predominantly black sorority it lowers my chances of meeting a guy I’m interested in. I like Asians :O

4) I'm interested in things other black people may not understand. For example, I like anime, rock music and speaking other languages, like German. My own mom thinks it's weird that I like music in Japanese and German.

I would like to be apart of a black sorority for these reasons:

1) I am black

2) It is a sisterhood

3) I’d experience a lot of different things

4) I could make great lifelong friends
