Hi all

I’m a married female in her early 30s with young children. I basically live in my pyjamas, never get dolled up and hardly get dressed either. Don’t get me wrong, I do take a shower and I’m clean, brush my hair and look put together but all the whilst wearing pyjamas or loungewear. Between maternity leave and working from home I’ve just never felt the need to get dressed up, even at weekends I don’t bother. It’s more so because I’m simply not into it anymore. If I get any spare time between general house chores and child related stuff then the last thing on my mind is putting on make up or a nice outfit.

Anyway, the question is… how do men feel about this? Am I being naive in thinking my partner doesn’t mind or should I be putting in more effort to impress him and keep the relationship alive. I know it depends on each individual and relationship but generally do men prefer their ladies to look nice?

I know my partner would definitely prefer me to put more of an effort in, I feel like I’ve become a lazy slob who’s just not investing in her relationship anymore. I get help around the house and with the kids so it’s not like I don’t get that little spare time to do it but I can’t bring myself to bother?

Sorry rambled a bit.

Hi all,
Many thanks to those MNers who reported their concerns about this thread. Unfortunately as you can see, several posters derailed it with trollhunting so we have made deletions. From our perspective, we can see that this poster has been with us a fair while and posted a good amount with no issues, so while we can never say 100% it does look like the trollhunters may have been barking up the wrong tree.
We would reiterate that the only way to avoid these situations is to report the thread (and hide it if you believe you will be tempted to troll hunt) as commenting on the thread so can make a bad situation much worse.
