Sinead,
I know that what is on the outside is superficial and doesn't count, and I don't mind at all that he wears whatever during the week or just around the house or to the grocery store or whatnot. But, like you said, I like him to look nice if we go out somewhere. He trys to get away with the least possible that he can. Friday we went to a bar/dance club, and he was going to wear his sneakers!  I told him that there was probably a dress code like most places, so he said he would bring other shoes just in case.  Well, he wound up wearing the nice shoes, which was good becuase there WAS a dress code.
The main reason I am trying to get some nicer clothes in his wardrobe is that we are going to be at these places more often, now that I am twenty one. And I mentioned it would be nice if he dressed in clothes that weren't falling apart or that have the YEAR (when they are almost ten years old) printed on them really large times when we go out to dinner, even if it is not a nice place. I am not a high-fashion dressing girl myself, so I don't want him to be too dressy, that would be awkward, too!
I think he is upset with me about other things, and that is why he blurted it out. he also says I am trying to change the way he eats, and that is not true! I ask if he wants my healthy stuff, but never force it, and I could care less what he orders places! The only time when I input about it is when he mentions IBS-like symptoms and I suggest what he could eat til he is back to having his iron stomach.
Like I said, I guess this is just everything coming to a head, and I kinda feel like I am being a brat, because these views are actually opposite of how I usually am! I guess it just seems like he doesn't try at all on 'us', and that is what everythign is stemming from.
Thanks for your input.
