Pretty sure my partner's dad saw me naked

I'm staying at my partner's house. I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed naked. I opened the door to go back to the bedroom, and his dad was wandering around in the hall. I said Aaahhh and shut the door, and kind of laughed it off out of embarrassment.

We had said good night a couple of hours previously, but they live next door and do just pop round every now and again. We usually put a chain across the door after they leave, but we forgot this evening.

Hopefully he didn't pop in 30 minutes previously, or he might have heard noises.

Does this sort of thing happen to other people? Just feels a bit like a Bridget Jones moment.

Going to be nice and awkward tomorrow. How do I even navigate this socially? Cringe

Yeah this sounds really believable.

First response - What? Let me get this right. You were expecting to walk naked from the bathroom to the bedroom in your in-law's house? They aren't the ones without boundaries, lady, you are!

After update - Oh, well, if you were in a house belonging to your partner and thought you and he were alone, that's perfectly understandable. I'd want to know how the dad got into the house and why he thought he could do that.

Sorry, re-read the OP. Why are you wandering around naked in someone else's house?

It’s her partners house. She thought it was just the two of them in the house.

Why wouldn’t she walk around naked (at that particular time of night) at her partner’s house….?

happinessischocolate · 26/12/2022 07:09

  1. don't worry about what he saw, unless you stood there shaking your boobs at him he probably didn't see much.

  2. when you see him, don't say sorry you gave him a scare, say: you scared the living daylights out of me, I thought you'd gone home. Convince yourself he just caught you in you pjs and you were just startled he was there.

I know a couple who live next door to the blokes parents, and the parents are always popping round like this, they just see the house as an extension of their own.

It’s her dp’s house. The in-laws live next door.

Wincepies · 26/12/2022 07:11

I find it extremely weird that he would just let himself in at such a late hour. Imagine if you had already gone to sleep and heard a noise in the hallway, you'd have thought it was a burglar or something!

cantsing · 26/12/2022 07:12

Just ignore it there's nothing you can do really

Iwonder08 · 26/12/2022 07:15

Complete non-event. So you were naked going out of the bathroom. Bumped into the old man, who probably hasn't seen much anyway. I somehow doubt he was crawling in the dark on the odd chance of seeing his son's girlfriend naked. I can't see any point of bringing it up with him.

GoodVibesHere · 26/12/2022 07:24

When you say hallway, so is the bedroom on the ground floor? If it's upstairs that would be quite odd and I would really wonder why he came up the stairs.

All you can do is remember that he hopefully didn't really see you naked for more than a split second as he would've quickly turned away (I assume?). Did he say sorry or anything? Most people would, an immediate reaction would be 'oh sorry' said in a bit of a shocked/embarrased way.

ScrabbleRabbler · 26/12/2022 07:32

Sounds like a non event, your boyfriend and his parents live next door to each other and are probably in and out of each other’s properties all the time.

rwalker · 26/12/2022 07:43

Our friends live next door to her parents .they are always in and out of each others house .
they each think the other house is an extension of there own
i think it’s a stretch to think he deliberately crept in to catch OP naked

If you read the whole post...

lightlypoached · 26/12/2022 08:05

I walked in on my FIL, fully naked towelling himself down after a shower (he hadn't locked the door 🙄).

I just quietly crept out backwards and he didn't see me. Unfortunately the image is burned into my eyeballs 😂😂😂

My DH thinks it's hilarious as he walked in on my dad having a wee. 😂😂😂😂

Maybe it's just a FIL thing that happens?

LolaMoon · 26/12/2022 08:10

I'm sorry but I dont understand why your partners dad would let himself in to the house and be wandering round at midnight. I am not saying he is a perv but thats a really odd, intrusive thing to do- at the very least it could give you a massive fright/shock to bump into him when unexpected. Its great that they are close but I am not a fan of parents just letting themselves into their grown kids houses whenever they feel like it- its healthy to have boundaries and space for private time without worrying someone will pop in unexpectedly.

Fathercrossmas · 26/12/2022 08:14

I would laugh it off raise a glass "to the Christmas where I flashed you, bob"

Think you need to re read it again. The OP was staying at her partners house. The parents live next door

Fuckitydoodah · 26/12/2022 08:21

I bet he'd popped back in for something he'd left behind, like glasses for instance. Hopefully, he's not a raging perv who'd been lingering in the hope of seeing you in your birthday suit 😁.

Embarrassing for sure but I'd just act like nothing happened or make a joke out of it. He probably didn't see as much as you think.

I live next door to my DM and we treat our houses exactly like this - it's like an extension to our houses. However, we usually shout out when we enter the back door. My DM's mobility isn't so good now so she doesn't come ver as much but even when she was mobile there is no way she would have come back into ur house so late. There have to be some boundaries.

Mellymoon · 26/12/2022 09:22

You were going to walk from bathroom to bedroom naked? That’s weird and on you if someone sees.
not sure where the pervert comments are coming from tbh- I wouldn’t expect someone to walk through the hall naked. Doubt I’d wait around for hours just in case it occurred either..

It's a bungalow, so no upstairs here. I think that I'll probably just do the British thing and pretend nothing happened. But, at least I let my partner know so that he can have a word. I only dread to think if he just popped in the house whilst we were having sex, because things can get pretty loud when we think we're alone. It's a detached bungalow, so no chance of being heard through the walls or anything.

This is just an “I had sex on Christmas Day” weird brag post lol

Changechangychange · 26/12/2022 10:33

I’d be pissed off if I was your DP and my parent was letting themselves in at midnight without my knowledge, wandering about on my landing when I was in bed then leaving without saying anything - that to me is super-weird, and I’d wonder when else they were coming into my house in the middle of the night while I was asleep.

If this isn’t normal behaviour from your PIL, I’d be wondering about early cognitive impairment as well - it is such a strange thing to be doing.

Why wouldn't you be naked when you're alone with your boyfriend at night in his house?

Beercrispsandnuts · 26/12/2022 10:36

Such a weird thread and even odder responses. His the fucj is he a pervert and came in knowing they’d be shagging, on what planet is that a reality

bloody hell

mrsharrisgoestoparis · 26/12/2022 00:46

His dad sounds like a pervert prowling his sons hallway after midnight knowing what you two were going to be doing on Xmas night

That's his house, she should have some decency in someone else's house
