My Boyfriend Has a Better Wardrobe Than I Do!

When borrowing a t-shirt becomes sharing a dress

Ladies, grab your lipsticks and brace yourselves for a story that’ll make your “he left the toilet seat up” arguments seem like small potatoes.

Picture this: You’re tidying up your boyfriend’s closet (because let’s face it, someone has to) and suddenly… Bam! A dress falls on your head. And we’re not talking about some awful Halloween costume. We’re talking about a little black number worthy of a red carpet event.

My first thought? “Dang, he’s got better taste than I do!” The second? “Wait a minute, is this my size?”

But seriously, what’s a girl to do in this situation? Call the fashion police? Stage an impromptu fashion show? Or just sit on the couch, eating ice cream, wondering if my relationship is actually a lost episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”?

I decided to be an adult (for the first time in my life, I might add) and talk to him. And you know what? Apparently, my boyfriend isn’t a full-time boyfriend. Sometimes, he’s a part-time girlfriend. Who would’ve thought?

He told me all about being gender-fluid. I was like, “Is that when you drink a lot of liquids, right?” Wrong. But hey, I’m learning!
