Not to let DH see me naked anymore?

[ParisGellar]

We are usually a fairly happily naked family, changing clothes and things in front of each other, however I am now much more conscious of my body after having ds 2.7 and don't fancy parading it around anymore. Also DH usually insists we leave the door opens when using the bathroom for the toilet, shower, everything! AIBU to start to insist on some privacy?

Exactly. It's not a comedy routine, nor should it be the subject of levity.

OP stop being scared of what he may think!!!

You are not a puppet ...you are his EQUAL.

If you want things to change, start to quietly take control of things the way you want, don't feel obliged to reply to texts if you are busy...if he questions you say l was busy. end of.

As others have suggested you may want to prepare for him getting annoyed but this is no way to live.

If someone loves you they do not dictate against your wishes ie INSISTING the bathroom door is open.

They want you to be happy.....do you think he wants you to be happy?

There are 3 issues.

1. Your husband acting like he makes up the house rules, and having some odd house rules that sound a bit voyeuristic.
2. You having a low body image after childbirth and now never wanting him to see you naked. I would be upset if my husband suddenly decided I was never to see him naked. I don't insist he wander around naked and leave the bathroom door open for my entertainment though.
3. You've been with this guy over 3 years and this has become an issue now why? (Although with the controlling stuff maybe you're just getting older and more confident)

I'd stop replying to texts quickly. I rarely look at my mobile in the house as reception is rubbish.
Do you still love him? It sounds as though he is just irritating you at the moment. If you still love him I'd tell him you feel the power balance in the relationship is unequal and you want to be able to close doors and not have to answer texts all day. If you can't come to an agreement you're better without him. It's sad so many women don't run from men like this early on though, but maybe a lot of it is women you've never lived alone and go from parents bossing them around to husband bossing them around.

Switch this to relationships Paris.
You’ll get much more useful advice and longer term support to make some changes.

We’re a very naked family (never thought I’d say that but it’s true ) but I started using a moon cup and didn’t want to be observed learning to insert the bugger.

Cannot imagine DH being pissy about me wanting a smidge of privacy. This is all kinds of wrong.
Please post on relationships.

Was AnyFucker troll hunting? I didn't see the post in time to respond before it was removed by mnhq.

My deleted post wasn't about you, Paris

I can’t remember her post but from the response she received directly below, I would guess not.

X post!

I'm not embarrassed to be naked but do do not wee with door open. Blimey kids follow me everywhere. I use the bathroom for an escape so I lock myself in!

Sort out control of the money too. Is he working and you're at home?

I'm sorry I just can't move past the fact the door needs to be open when you take a shit. That's the most bizzare controlling thing I've ever read. And I simply can't get my head round the fact the first time you were informed of this little fact you didn't tell him to go fuck himself. Hard.

What Bluntness said!
Jeeze I just could not understand the door having to be open and if anyone stated this was to be the case I would think they had lost a few screws!!!!!
I would NOT want to witness my OH shitting-I make him use the upstairs loo because of the pong he leaves behind-do not want to see him as well as smell him!

I was extremely young and naive when the relationship started and I didn't have the confidence to say no to it, starting to find it now. I was a sahp for a year after a year of maternity, been back working part time about 7 months at a lower grade than before.
