Besides being boring, those high-society parties can also hurt physically.

The people from so-called high society are all about maintaining a public image. And in their attempts to be “picture-perfect,” they can and often do go overboard.

They go into tiny details that are important only to them. No one else notices them, no one cares.

And their parties? They are ridiculous.

Such a concentration of stuck-ups is even life-threatening. It can hurt your eyes and ears so much that your brain will think the only way out is jumping from the penthouse balcony.

Besides being boring, those high-society parties can also hurt physically. Is maintaining public image so important that you should sacrifice your health?

A young Redditor going by the name u/wtfthesehighheels4 asked a question: “AITA for embarrassing my fiancé and taking my heels off at our engagement party?”

If the question sounds ridiculous, that’s because the whole story is ridiculous. She didn’t want to wear high heels at the posh engagement parties, so her fiancée begged her, promising she would be sitting down most of the time.

But things didn’t go that way, and she had to stand up through the entire party. Finally, she couldn’t stand the pain anymore and she had to sit down.

And that caused quite a commotion. Take a look at her story:

OP asks:

OP got engaged to a much taller man. And even though it wouldn't be a problem in most relationships, somehow it turned into a problem in hers.

OP’s fiancée asked her to wear high heels for the engagement party so the height difference won’t be so noticeable. She only said yes because he promised she will be sitting most of the time. But it turned out she had to spend a lot of time standing up, which really hurt her legs.

OP’s fiancée told her to “suck it up,” and her mother-in-law criticized her for being so soft.

When OP took off her heels and sat down, all hell broke loose and everyone started acting like it was some sort of a disaster.

And then the accusations start. OP’s fiancée even noted that someone short as her should wear heels more often…

OP’s fiancée told her she should wear high heels more often to get accustomed to the feeling

OP now asks if what she did was so wrong.

Redditors did not go easy on OP’s fiancée

Many of the commenters noted that the OP’s fiancée is displaying controlling behavior. And it will not go away with time. In fact, it will only get worse.

Many people suggested OP to get out of there

The height difference shouldn't be such an issue

Most women don't wear heels

The height difference comments can be cute

The bottom line is:

It is clear that OP is subjected to some really controlling behavior, but only from her fiancée but from his family too. She is young and probably inexperienced, and the family is taking advantage f that to literally mold her into a “perfect daughter-in-law.”

And it starts with high heels.
