unsavoury question about dp's pants

DP wears his socks and pants for 2 days. he seems to think he needs to ration them, though there are stacks in his drawers. I've tried telling him it's inhygienic, don't want to find his pants lying on floor waiting for use next day. last night I chucked them in the laundry basket. He saw they were missing and whipped them out. He says it's none of my business. I say it is, I have to smell him, bacteria on floor etc. rank!!!

No, I see your point but is OP expected to run around after him like a 3yr old checking he has clean pants on?

Yes but his mother isn't expected to have relations with his member.

1. I don't pay that much attention to DH's dressing habits, he is a big boy now and I am not his mother!

2. Commando anyone?

Just make them mysteriously dissapear, problem solved and eventually he will get into the habbit of looking in a drawer and not on the floor for his pants

My DH will wear socks and boxers again. He takes off his socks and stuffs them in his boots to wear the next day. To be fair he doesn't ever put dirty clothes back on after a shower, so in the summer when he showers every day it's not a problem - but it is pretty horrid, and I too don't understand!

make sure that every time you have sex you tell him its only because he's on a 'clean pants' day that you are up for it.
He'll start changing them more often if he thinks it'll mean more sex!

Forgot to add, he also thinks that sheet changing is only necessary if they look like a double Turin shroud and that showers happen on work days hmm

Yucker, how old is he? Mine is ancient and thinks it's OK - a hangover from childhood in the olden days grin.

I remember only being allowed one pair of knickers a week and one hair wash a fortnight till I was twelve but my mother is insane eccentric.
