Interpersonal relationships can be tricky-especially when it comes to more subtle topics such as self-care. In a Redditor case, it involved a towel. In a post on Reddit's "I am A**hole (AITA)" forum, a man explained a scenario that was not good for him.

"I (31M) and my girlfriend (25F) have been dating for about 2 years," he wrote. "My GF has beautiful hair, which looks much lower than most women I know. She didn't use all a hundred different hair products, nor did she blow dry her hair. Honestly, her hair styling It doesn’t take long or anything. However, she always insists on drying her hair with this special towel."

He continued: "She insisted that she can't use any ordinary towel to wipe her hair. If I treat her hair towel as an ordinary towel, she will be angry. She said this towel can only be used to wipe her hair. She even I bought an extra towel and put it in my drawer. She will also bring this towel when she goes on vacation."

The man said that he usually "doesn't mind", but this is "very weird" because he "did not know that there are other people who have towels to wipe their hair." It happened when the two planned to travel to the man's parents' house for Thanksgiving. He said he asked her to leave the towel at home because he didn't want his family to “think her weird or make fun of her”.

The night before leaving, he saw that the towel in her suitcase was for travel, so he took it out. She didn't notice until they arrived at his parents' house.

"I think it's okay. My GF didn't seem to be angry at all during the whole trip. However, when we returned to my residence, my GF got in her car and drove away without saying goodbye," he Say. "She later texted me that she was angry with me for that stupid towel and she needed some space. I kept calling and texting her, but she didn't respond."

He said at the end of the post that his friend "thinks that she is too dramatic."

Cosmopolitan pointed out the best microfiber hair towels, which listed those that resist frizz, speed up drying time, repair split ends, and increase shine. Some of them are specifically used for curly hair. No matter what type of hair the Redditor's girlfriend has, the Internet has the final say, thinking that he is "A ** hole".

Wellbehavedmischief said, "If I realize that my SO deliberately steals some of my personal things from me, even though I explain why it is important, especially for such a small thing, I will feel degraded and disrespected. And worry-instead of talking through it, they just... carry me and think I'm too stupid to figure it out? Accept this treatment? It has nothing to do with the towel."

"It's not a towel issue. 100% is that he doesn't treat her as equal. Even if she has no real reason to need a special towel, except that she likes it, his behavior is worth it to me. If he' Do this with a towel he thinks she doesn't need, what else can he take from her?" Keboyd88 said.

jess32ica agreed, "I also don’t like'unlike most other women'... Just like the way OP talks about it, he just never respects the true face of the towel. The things she uses in her daily life make her feel good. .Uh, I just hate "unlike most other women"...the misogynistic atmosphere...who cares what or how many products people put on their hair? This is their hair!

"And the OP talked about how it is so good that she didn't spend a lot of time, energy or tools... Yes, because she found a simple and effective thing! You take away one thing that works, you The system you just admired has been destroyed," nyoprinces said.
