One of us doesn't want the other one to sleep naked. Who gets final say?

slumma regime? Hmm

Happily my DH showers of his own accord.

Really? Does everybody shower before going to bed? I would if I've been getting sweaty exercising or in hot weather, but otherwise I shower in the morning

Same here. I occasionally shower in the evening if I have been to the gym, but otherwise always in the morning, to wash off all the sweat from sleeping. I dunno if I would be so extreme as to say separate beds, but tell him he needs to wash his armpits and apply deodorant so that he does not stink before going to bed.

My DH gets properly fruity after a day at work, and he sits down. If he got into bed naked and pointed his naked unwashed arsecrack in my direction he'd get booted out.

Yanbu.

I'm a vet nurse and I shower after a shift ( and sleep in the nak) I would frankly group hospital staff at any level or involvement into 'need to shower when returning home'. What's the point of all the alcohol gels and hand washing campaigns if the rest of the body is shift weary and possibly contaminated.

Daisyfrumps · 05/01/2017 20:13

It's perfectly normal to have separate beds OP - you don't have to suffer if he really won't shower! But would you end up changing his sheets anyway?!

ClopySow · 05/01/2017 20:17

I don't sleep naked and I don't like it if my husband sleeps naked. He wears boxers as a compromise

Baffled.

TheCatsMother99 · 05/01/2017 20:18

If he's making the bed smell because he's naked then if say ok to him being in the nuddie but to make it fair to you he needs to take on the role and responsibility of washing and changing bedding (regularly)

ClopySow · 05/01/2017 20:19

OP i was ready to say you were unreasonable, but i'd rather not sleep next to someone stinky in bed. I think the naked bit doesn't really come into it.

Ragwort · 05/01/2017 20:24

These sorts of threads always amuse me, there is something about a partner that the OP finds deeply upsetting/disgusting - in this case the fact that he doesn't shower and sleeps naked .................. yet she clearly likes him enough to have sex with him as they have 'another baby on the way' Grin Grin Grin Grin

I love DP to death but would not want him sleeping naked.. Love him naked when having sex but don't want to spoon his naked sweaty bum Grin Luckily we both love clothes in bed, it just feels cleaner (for us!)

2ducks2ducklings · 05/01/2017 20:41

Cloppysow, I'm not sure what's baffling. I'm not keen on mine or my husbands ass crack being directly on our bedsheets for any length of time. I wear pjs and he wears boxers. It works fine for us, my husband has never complained. Each to their own and all that Grin

ClopySow · 05/01/2017 20:59

You're right, each to their own.
