Is it okay if I ask my boyfriend not to get gauges?
Why don't you want him to get gauges?
I think they really lower men's self-esteem.
If he wants to spend his money on that you should allow him. You can't be too controlling like that or he might not want to be with you.
Whatever. I'm going to tell him my thoughts.
You're allowed to tell him how you feel, but if he wants to get gauges then you shouldn't try to stop him. What your boyfriend spends his money on is his choice.
