My boyfriend shamed me as a ‘w****’ for having laser hair removal – he thinks I did it to ‘show off’ but he’s so wrong
A MAN has come under fire after brutally dubbing his girlfriend a ''w****'' for having laser hair removal.
The outraged girlfriend took to Reddit where she explained that her partner had an issue with her ''hairless'' body, which he reckons she only wants to ''show off''.
According to the anonymous social media user, 18, the 20-year-old fella - whom she's been dating for three months - recently sent her a rather bizarre text message.
The shocking text exchange sees the boyfriend asking how his girlfriend is always ''so hairless'' - to which she replied and explained that she did laser hair removal for nearly two years.
She also added that while getting it done everywhere apart from her face was ''a lot'', it's been totally ''worth it'' - something the man deemed ''wild''.
Despite the teenager adding it was ''convenient'', the partner didn't stop there, insisting that having a hair-free body was ''some w**** behaviour''.

''You don't spend that much money and time lasering everywhere unless you plan on showing it off,'' he said, the horrified woman shared the screenshots of their shocking texts on the forum.
Baffled, she replied: ''It makes me a w**** because I got my hair removed?''
While the young boyfriend said he was ''just being honest'', the girlfriend dubbed his words and opinion ''disrespectful''.
Not sure how to move forward with the bizarre events, she sought advice on Reddit.
''I told him honestly that I did full body laser hair removal for nearly two years.
''I got this done when I was 15 to 17. He got weird and literally called me a 'w****' for it.
''I was shocked and I'm not sure how to feel or if I should be hearing him out on this?
''Was I overreacting? It felt really disrespectful.''
'That was a terrible response from him. Abusive actually'
The Reddit post has since taken the popular platform by storm, leaving many just as gobsmacked as the poor woman.
Domestic abuse - how to get help
DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence.
Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:
- Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to
- Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you
- Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.
- Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.
If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:
- The Freephone National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge on 0808 2000 247 for free at any time, day or night
- Men who are being abused can call Respect Men's Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or ManKind on 0182 3334 244
- Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring Galop on 0800 999 5428
- If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999
Remember, you are not alone.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.
Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.
As many urged the young woman to put an end to the relationship, one said: ''So got hair removal…,BFORE YOU MET HIM, but You are disrespectful?
''FFS, ditch this loser. He’s a full blown CREEP! Gross!''
Another was just as baffled, writing: ''Where the f**k yall finding these people.
''No like seriously, where the f**k are yall finding these people?''
Some also warned the teenager of what's to potentially come if he's already showing signs of overreacting.
''If you stay with him…expect much more of this. A new outfit? “Who you wearing that for?” A haircut? “Why you trying so hard?”''
''He called you a w****. He called you a w****. He called you a w****,'' someone else reminded.

''Maybe it needs to sink in for you more so you don’t even question if that was disrespectful. What else could it be?''
''You are not overreacting. That was a terrible response from him. Abusive actually,'' another reader said.
