Husband experimenting with naturism

I feel like such a prude but wandering round the house making tea in the nude is so not my bag. I love him dearly, but have no desire to see his bits as he stacks the dishwasher. Is this a thing now? Or a sign of a midlife crisis? He says he doesn't want to make me feel uncomfortable, but either he stops doing it (only started today to be fair) and thinks of me as such restrictive prude or he carries on and I am faced with bits all the time

Can’t you just ignore him? I’d humour it - surely as winter kicks in he’ll give up?

MakeLemonade · 01/09/2018 22:06

Yes I’d be keeping the heating off and hoping he couldn’t handle the chill!

Do you have any DCs to be mortified on your behalf?

Fireworks91 · 01/09/2018 22:07

Pmsl, that's true...can't see him doing the logburner in the nud. He stripped for a little bit when sunbathing in the garden which the kids found funny, but then was clothes on until they were in bed.

Ask for a full English breakfast in the morning.Smile

Lol, I hope your D's aren't 13. That would be embarrassing.

KindergartenKop · 01/09/2018 22:10

DC's

Presumably you sleep with him? I struggle to see the issue with him being naked in front of you when you are having sex together on a regular basis. There are a lot of people I would feel a bit uncomfortable seeing naked all the time. Mt husband isn't one of them.

Sparklingbrook · 01/09/2018 22:22

It would have been more understandable when the weather was boiling hot.

Why has he decided to do this?

Lidlbutfierce · 01/09/2018 22:30

Can't say I would have a problem with this. What are his reasons? It will become normal to you soon!

starsandstuff · 01/09/2018 22:36

Why don't you want to see your own partner's bits? Hmm

RJnomore1 · 01/09/2018 22:38

Could be worse he could be Donald ducking about.

Aprilshowersinaugust · 01/09/2018 22:41

Suggest a bbq tomorrow.
At the very least he would have to wear an apron!!

MervynBunter · 01/09/2018 22:44

If you don't like looking at him naked why on earth did you marry him?

onetimeposter · 01/09/2018 22:46

Sounds a bloody weirdo. And inappropriate to be naked in front of your kids, bodies are private.

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 01/09/2018 22:48

Surely it’s not naturism in your own home? I wander round a fair bit naked in the morning, I would more if it were warmer. What’s the problem with naked bodies in the privacy of ones own home?

APermanentlyExhaustedPigeon · 01/09/2018 22:49

I think there’s a difference between seeing your DP wandering around the house naked (always happy to see that here!) and copping an eyeful first thing in the morning because you’ve walked into the kitchen at the exact moment he’s decided to bend over to unload the dishwasher!
I love my DH, but that’s a sight I’d happily miss!

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 01/09/2018 22:49

onetimeposter why? What’s wrong with naked bodies, that’s natural. The clothes aren’t. It’s in his home not out in the street.

MandalaYogaTapestry · 01/09/2018 23:05

No fecking way would I allow it in the house, in the presence of the children or myself. Bodies are private and no, I don't want to see DH's dangling bits anywhere unless we are about to have sex.

onetimeposter · 01/09/2018 23:06

If we are to teach young children to be modest and safeguard them then they need to know that in front of others you need to wear clothes.

RebelRogue · 01/09/2018 23:09

Why has he started doing it? What's the difference? Could he compromise? Like wear just boxers/shorts if food prepping or whatever?

Davros · 01/09/2018 23:12

Does he deploy your sex towel when he sits down?

loopylass13 · 01/09/2018 23:17

I wouldn't want it every day but wouldn't mind myself or OH wandering about nude - own home and its nice to be free, let the air fully circulate. I say let him be, but maybe request it for certainly days rather than all the time. Or even certain times.

AlexaAmbidextra · 02/09/2018 06:13

As long as you don’t have white sofas .............🤮
