AIBU to feel irritated by DH asking me to cover up when I don't want sex?

There are times of the month when I really don't want sex but my DH will still be really horny.

At these times he will tell me not to sit in a certain way that shows my curves, or he'll cover my legs with a blanket if I'm showing any part of them. When I seem irritated by this he says he finds it too hard to see me in any way he deems sexy as he knows he won't be having sex with me.

To be clear, I'm not attempting to 'tease' him in any way; I'm just going about my life.

AIBU to find this behaviour of his annoying and controlling? Or should I be more sensitive?

His sexual impulses are not your responsibility. He’s an adult who can control himself. You’re an adult who can sit however you like and wear whatever you like.

Oh this gives me the ick. I couldn't tolerate that in a relationship

He sounds like a chimp who can't control himself so wants to control you instead.

I genuinely have no words for this OP.
