Man Forced To Wear 'I Love My Girlfriend' T-Shirt

A man who is going on holiday to Ibiza – without his girlfriend – has been forced to wear a custom-made t-shirt by said girlfriend, declaring his love for her.

According to The Mirror, Abbie Bartlett, 20, who is said to be from Ballymoney in Northern Ireland, made the t-shirt for her 24-year-old boyfriend Leon Connolly.

The item of clothing is covered in images of the couple together and is accompanied by the message: "I love my girlfriend Abbie, I hate the girls in Ibiza, so please stay away from me."

Miss Bartlett said she had the t-shirt made as a joke and gave it to her partner as he packed his bag for the trip.

She is quoted as saying: "When I took it in to the printing shop and explained what I wanted, I swear they must have thought I was a psycho.

"Leon wasn't expecting it, I had mentioned that I would make him a t-shirt but didn't think I actually would. He saw the funny side of it because it is really just a joke.

"He and I have a really similar sense of humour. He ended up laughing about it and even posed for pictures wearing it," she insisted.

The pictures were then shared online and quickly went viral. Many found the joke to be amusing, but others have criticised the young mum for being "possessive", "insecure" and "desperate", as well as opening up the potential for other women to see it as a challenge.

"Leon said he definitely will wear it [t-shirt] in Ibiza now because he's practically famous, but I think it might have the opposite effect," she explained. "Now that everyone has seen it online I think it might just attract loads of girls... some girls like a challenge. I have absolutely no reason to be jealous or possessive because I know Leon would never cheat on me.

"We met when we were really young and have been together ever since. I trust him completely and we've been on separate holidays before, that's just how our relationship works, we do our own thing."

As for her boyfriend's thoughts on the matter, he admitted: "At first I thought is she serious? She wanted me to wear it to all the big clubs like Pacha etc. But now I get that it's a joke I'm happy enough to go along with it, that's just how our relationship is it's just silly.

"People have been saying that wearing the t-shirt might attract girls, some girls will definitely take it as some sort off challenge. I just have to laugh about it, Abbie is the only girl for me and we both know that."

The couple, who now live in Newcastle, have been in a relationship for six years and have a five-year-old daughter together.
