Blokes taking off their trousers when at home

[Echobelly]

Is this just my DH or is it common for blokes to take off their trousers and hang around in their pants when at home with no guests around?

My OH does and I don’t really like it and have told him as much. Then he wonders why I don’t like him or fancy him when simply wearing some shorts or PJ bottoms would make me more comfortable and he can’t even do that.

What really galls me is that he has spent many years slagging his Mum off for wearing a T-shirt and knickers when lazing around her house. Same thing really but obviously (despite me saying this to him) he thinks it’s different. Recently he has started taking ages to even put his pants on in the morning! wtf?!? I told him it’s disgusting and again, little response.

I don't really get the issue - well, maybe the snoring.

DH quite often wears boxers and a T-shirt to bed in the summer and looks fine walking about to the bathroom etc in it.

TBH I think men look better in boxers and a t-shirt than a Mr Bean style pyjama "ensemble."

Mine sometimes changes into trackies but he never just hangs out in his pants no.

I’d suggest that perhaps your house is too warm if yours is doing this in November.

Dh is either in pants or naked

Not something I've ever come across, but I understand it's more common in the US, where it's known as "Donald Ducking"!

Aww lol, that made me giggle bless! Kinda similar feeling to some women like me first thing we do is take the bra off and it just feels so good!

Maybe some people including kids have sensory issues and just don’t like a tightness around their legs - to the point of remaining in pants only as perhaps even the waistband of loungewear joggers feels restrictive.

My husband does DIY in just his boxers. Says he gets hot and CBA to mucky his clothes 🤷‍♀️

I'd like to live in your house. DH keeps turning the heating up.

No man I know does this.
BUT.
I sleep in vest and knickers and in the summer just wear those cotton sleep shorts on top if I'm walking around the house.

I think it would be disrespectful if he kept on doing it when I'd asked him not to or to do it in front of guests, but tbh if it's in private and everyone's OK with it that's not an issue as far as I'm concerned. i can trust him to get trousers or a robe on sharpish if unexpected people appear.

Absolutely! Mine does this everyday. The minute he gets through the door 😂 But he is a builder and comes with trousers covered in cement/sawdust etc. Will walk round in his pants for a while then has a shower and into comfy clothes

That has reminded me of the dad, Martin, in Friday Night Dinner - always had his top off 🤣

Just pants, no. Something stretchy and comfortable, yes.

we all wear loungewear of some variety at home.

I quite often walk through the door, go in the downstairs bathroom by the front door, have my first wee since leaving that morning whilst wriggling out of my trousers, go to the kitchen, let the dogs out, put the kettle on, maybe switch on the oven or look in the freezer, go upstairs, put my shoes and bag away, go in bedroom, put on pj's and more often than not sit on the edge of the bed for a second and end up having a snooze and forget to retrieve the trousers and find a cat asleep in them still on the toilet floor hours later and then have to take them back to the cleaners. I might well be a lazy slob but im a very happy one ☺️

My friends ds does and has done since a toddler. He's now 18 and don't care who is there. Usually top off too

I agree. He needs to be able to relax in his own home. It's not like he's naked and it's really not that different from pps saying they wear short pj bottoms and a vest as "loungewear." Perhaps just call his pants "loungewear shorts" and you're sorted!

My Dad would never appear downstairs before dressing. He thought dressing gowns were for times of illness and would not even wear slippers in the day, just for moving from his dressing room to the bedroom as far as I could tell.

We were allowed breakfast in pjs in the kitchen at the weekend, but that stiffness of my DF has made me appreciate being able to be relaxed in one's own home. My dc often stay in pjs for breakfast to stop them spilling on their clean uniform.

It's not that different from seeing him in swim shorts.

If it's y-fronts I might feel a bit more bothered!

Are you meaning y-fronts or boxers op? I think that might change things for some.

On a different day half of MN would be pretending they did the hoovering in a lace bra and g-string.

Into shorts or pj trousers ..no one needs to see the outline of my wee wotsit.👍

Dark coloured M&S trunks - not grotty grey y-fronts or tiny budgie smugglers!

Me too 😂
