Husband uses my towel!!

Exactly that!

Am I being unreasonable to think DH should use his own towel when showering/bathing?

We hang our towels on the back on the back of our bedroom door, my towel is usually pink or purple as I bought them for me and my daughter when we lived together, just us two, a girls house. DH’s towel is usually blue or green, from his house when he lived by himself!

I’m suffering tonight with cramps and back pain and it may be because it’s TOTM but DH had a shower and then came downstairs with my pink towel around his waist and it really annoyed me!! I’ve told him so many times to use his own towel. Tonight he just said in his nonchalant male tone “sorry I just grabbed the first one I saw!!”. He just doesn’t seem to get it. I only changed the towels this weekend and now he has used both of ours, so I’m going to have to get another clean towel tomorrow morning!

YABU - get yourself some chocolate and get over it he is your husband!

YANBU - he should be more understanding, send him out to get you chocolate!

That would really annoy me too OP because it’s not hard just to reach for your own towel is it? My husband washes his hands in our bathroom and instead of using the provided hand towel uses my large bath towel that is hung on the bathroom door. When I use my towel it’s always got lots of wet patches!

Exactly this! His towel is next to mine! It really doesn’t take a lot to use his own towel, that’s all I ask!

If you washed your towels every ten minutes like a proper Mumsnetter you wouldn't have this problem.

Yuk. This would really piss me off.

He's just had a shower and wiped the water off him not had a shit and wiped his arse.

Don't see the issue.

Don't be ludicrous. You let him ejaculate inside you, I imagine you put your mouth on his genitals.. he's just come out of a shower and is clean. What on earth is the issue?

Actually I don’t put my mouth anywhere near his genitalia! Bad gag reflex!

Keep your towels somewhere else, where they're not so instantly grabbable.
