To ask dp to keep his shirt on?

[friendlyfoxes]

He's such a lovely man but has this real 'thing' about taking his shirt off whenever there's a bit of sun.

We were walking his dog on Monday in a local stately home/gardens and - shirt off. Sit outside in a beer garden? Shirt off. Outdoor concert? Off comes the shirt!

I hate it. I find it trashy and just, I don't know, a bit crude really.

I've asked him to keep it on and he will but makes it clear he doesn't want to.

AIBU?

One dad did it at my sons pre school leaving party.
My judgy pants gave me a wedgie that day

Only allowed if your name is Poldark in the privacy of your cliff top residence

I didn't think this was going to be in public!
YADNBU.

Maybe its just the area i live in but Its never been an issue here. Growing up there wasn't a summer where a man had a top on, beer garden, park, gardens and even shops, if it was hot all the men had their shirts off. We must look so trashy to everyone else

Yadnu, although I hate it when dh even sits in lounge with no top on.

I wouldn't have my top off in public other than at the swimming pool or at the beach, however I don't really know why. I much prefer shorts whenever its warm enough and like to get the sun on my legs and I am reasonably happy with my body so have no hang ups about it being on display. I guess its just convention and probably something snobby or prudish, that its a bit common or trashy to have too much on display.

That said if I had rippling six pack and matching pecs I'd probably be quite proud of it and might want to have my shirt off to put it on display more often.

I'm going against the grain, but I think you're being unreasonable. It sounds controlling and snobby to me. You've asked, he's said no - move on.

Depends, fit or fat?
