Partner making requests

My partner ‘requests’ that I wear certain underwear that he likes to see me in. He also ‘requests’ me to wear certain leggings etc. I have put up with it for so long but finally snapped and told him he was being controlling, to which he took offence and got upset about. When I ask him not to tell me what to wear he justifies it by saying he is not telling me he is simply ‘requesting’ because if he didn’t ‘request’ then I would just not wear them. AIBU?

This is all about context really. If he’s letting you know what he finds sexy for your sexy time then fine. If he’s telling you what to wear all the time then not fine.

Start requesting that he wear odd/mismatched combinations in response, everything down to socks and pants. Maybe even suggest jumpers throughout the summer until he stops.

Tell him to sod off, wear what you want when you want. End of

I don't see much wrong with asking your partner to wear something if you like it. As long as you're fine if they say no.
