AIBU husband w*nking

What are people's views on this? I know my husband does it and he says he needs to orgasm daily so if we don't have sex for a few days then I understand he gets frustrated. I turn a blind eye but know it goes on discretely - fine. For context we have had issues with our sex live since DC was born but have been trying to get back on track and this week have been having regular sex. Today I walked into the bedroom and he was having a wank whilst watching something on his phone. I was annoyed as it was morning and I was in the kitchen getting child's breakfast. I came looking for husband to see where he was. Child could have easily walked in. I was livid.

He is now annoyed with me as I "shamed" him and overreacted. I have apologised for storming out but not for being angry and said I don't take responsibility for his actions. He's saying it's all about how I make him feel and connected to our sex life problems.

Agree. He was somewhere private: the bedroom. He should have locked the door, but otherwise I don't see the issue.

He was having a wank in an unlocked bedroom while his wife was caring for their child. I mean having a wank is fine but there's a time and a place...

You are unreasonable to want to dictate what he does with his own body. If the roles were reversed this thread would be filled with very different responses.

Rubbish

Wanking = not an issue.

Wanking in the middle of the kitchen at breakfast time = the issue.

I mean, I agree that wanking in the middle of the kitchen IS an issue when everyone is eating their breakfast 😂however OP's husband was in the bedroom.

Ubugly · 12/07/2024 14:15

He is literally an absolute wanker. Your running round after kids and he can't leave his own dick alone. Gross.

Julyshouldbesunny · 12/07/2024 13:53

If your dc has caught him presumably he would be now packing his stuff? Remind him wanking is a private hobby. Done in bloody private.

Um he was in private. He was in his bedroom. Not sat at the dining room table whilst everyone is eating their cornflakes.

Also to the OP and others for saying the child could have walked in, well yeah, but kids can also walk into the bedroom whilst you're having sex - that's life. Sometimes you take the risk if you need a quickie and just cover up / stop if you hear them coming!

OP is he taking steps to make sure any adult content on his phone is not accessible to the kids? I've seen plenty threads where men haven't cleared the browsing history or deleted inappropriate content on their devices before handing their it to their kids to play a game or something and the kids end up exposed to things they shouldn't.

I know someone who attached their Apple ID to their child's phone when setting it up and the photos ended up on the child's device and she was very upset at what she saw.

The fact he didn't take steps to make sure he wouldn't be walked in on maybe he isn't taking steps to make sure the adult things he's accessing on his phone can't be accessed easily too.

Men are w*nkers 🤷🏻‍♀️

JuiceBoxJuggler · 12/07/2024 14:21

This is hilarious. If it were the other way around, everyone here would be supporting it!

However, he can have a good time with himself - at appropriate times. I do agree, wrong time.

showersandflowers · 12/07/2024 14:21

I once asked to borrow DH's phone to google something and he didn't realise he'd left his porn search history unerased so when I went to google it came us with the title of the porn he'd been googling as a suggestion based on the last google. I was livid because he always says he doesn't need porn because he has me (he volunteered that!) so felt a bit betrayed. If he'd never said that I wouldn't have cared as much.

He makes sure his history is wiped now.

sugarbyebye · 12/07/2024 14:22

Just get a lock for your bedroom door.

Agreed, could be painful if you’re trying to fry bacon and get a bit of splatter on your bits and pieces.

BlackStrayCat · 12/07/2024 13:57

I just winked about 5 times in a minute.

I don’t want to brag, but I can wink with both eyes at the same time.

Well that’s why the fig leaf has been recommended for a long time. A very, very long time.

You can say WANKING on here. No need for the asterisk.

Wanking? Are you sure? I thought we were talking about winking?

Don't be silly. When you choose to share your life, home and children with another human being you have every right to expect certain behaviours from them. You would have the right to ask them to wash more frequently if they smelt for example. You would have the right to ask them to use a condom, you would have the right to ask them not to pick their nose because it made you feel sick and you have the right to ask them not to watch porn and wank where children might see you. Actually you can't do exactly what you like with your own body either at home or in wider society for a number of very good reasons.

ColinMyWifeBridgerton · 12/07/2024 14:36

He shouldn't be winking where his kids might walk in and when it's time to parent. Fine to wink on his own in private.

I couldn't be with a man who watches porn but only you know what boundary you've discussed around that

DullFanFiction · 12/07/2024 14:36

Olika · 12/07/2024 13:51

I cannot be bothered about it as long as it's done away from the kids and not when he should be parenting with me.

⬆️⬆️
That.

quockerwodger · 12/07/2024 14:36

"he says he needs to orgasm daily"

No he doesn't.
No man does.
No person does.

It's bullshit, don't buy into it.
Used as an excuse to get sex or to justify wanking.

Feeble.minded and childish

GreensFuckOff · 12/07/2024 14:37

I’d rather a partner wank daily than pester me for sex daily.

What about the situation has upset you most OP?

Yep I imagine a woman masturbating whilst the dcs are in the kitchen having breakfast.
Im sure that will happen like …never.
