(Marked NSFW just in case) Hi all! So in June myself (26F) will be going to Hawaii on vacation with my boyfriend (29F) & his family. I’ve met his family. They all adore me from what I have been told & have never felt otherwise.

A little bit of info to start, I’m short, with a larger than average chest. Also, this last year I have worked HARD on my body. Changed my entire diet, tracked all calories, focused on macros, stopped drinking anything but water & coffee, I go to the gym 5 days a week & walk 15k steps a day. So I’m very proud of how I look!

Here’s the thing; my boyfriend says I should buy new bikinis for the trip. Why? Because they don’t cover enough. He’s basing this all off the fact that when he was 15 he dated a girl (also 15) that wore a tiny swimsuit when she went on vacation with his family back in the day. His family never said anything to her but they talked about it often afterwards.

I’ve tried to explain that I’m almost twice that age & it’s much more appropriate for me than it was for her. I also don’t really care about being talked about either. I am doing nothing wrong by wearing a perfectly decent bikini out in a public area. He has decided this is the hill to die on & will not stop talking about new swimwear. (He’s showing me one piece & three piece options like he’s expecting me to be completely covered)

I say I should be able to wear what I want as I am a grown women & have no need for multiple new suits that I don’t even like/want. He says I should just buy them so that they have nothing to talk about.

So Reddit, WIBTH if I just packed the suits I already had instead of biting the bullet & getting new ones?
