To be annoyed when DH sits on the sofa wrong?

I love DH but he always sits on the sofa wrong
He leans on the back cushions which is making them misshapen
He has offered to re-plump them after he uses the sofa but I think it's ruining the cushion
AIBU??

How can you sit on a sofa wrong? Aren’t cushions supposed to be leaned against?

Busybusybust · 16/12/2018 20:44

[no comment] my first!

YABVU and a controlling arse. Let him relax.

Tell him he's only allowed to stand until he learns how to sit properly.

More info needed. Surely you don't mean he has to sit bolt upright? How else does one avoid leaning on the back cushions?

Lazypuppy · 16/12/2018 20:46

How do you want him to sit?!

wheresmyhairytoe · 16/12/2018 20:46

Eh?

TinkerSpy · 16/12/2018 20:47

Also, the colour and size of cushions is needed. And DH height/weight.

Celebelly · 16/12/2018 20:47

As I sit on my sofa leaning on the back cushions, I say 'eh'?

ineedtolovemyself · 16/12/2018 20:47

I'm a bit funny on how people sit on my sofa. I hate it when they sit right on the edge of the cushion 🙈🙈

Ifangyow · 16/12/2018 20:47

Why don't you buy him a wooden stool to sit on beside the fireplace while he awaits your next order.

titchy · 16/12/2018 20:47

LTB.

GaraMedouar · 16/12/2018 20:48

Aaaaargh! Yes YABU!

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 16/12/2018 20:48

I get you.

My DH always sits wrong and he's ruining our new sofa. He doesn't offer to replump them though, so at least you've got that.

topcat2014 · 16/12/2018 20:48

The correct way is of course to lie along the sofa, with your head on one end, and feet over the other end armrest.

Ideally having removed boots first.

All men know that, surely :)

My dh also sits on sofas wrong, he leans more on top of the back sofa cushion rather than against it. It’s ruined the cushion and it’s only a 2 year old sofa. It’s an annoyance, but nothing to get too worked up about. I’ve told when we’re looking to replace them he’s going to have his own armchair so the sofas don’t get ruined too quickly again.

curiositycreature · 16/12/2018 20:50

My sofa is reeeeeally squashy and my DH always manages to squish the back cushions so they’re half the size (if not less!!!). Drives me bananas but I try to remember that sofas are for lounging on and not just looking nice!

RangeRider · 16/12/2018 20:51

Surely the whole idea of a sofa having a back (and hence cushions) is so that you can lean against it? Sell it and buy a bench - that way he has nothing to lean on and will probably be so uncomfortable that he'll leave home, thus saving unnatural wear and tear on the carpet too.

Weezol · 16/12/2018 20:54

Have you thought about getting a crate in the kitchen for him?

sweeneytoddsrazor · 16/12/2018 20:55

Currently sat on my sofa with my feet up. Dog led out next to me taking up most of it. 2 cats led along top of sofa. DS sat on the arm. You would hate it here OP

Favourite comment ever. Thank you for the LOL at my screen!

OP seems to have disappeared.

Love it 😂

Yes yabu but tbh if I bought a sofa and dp squished the cushions funny I'd tell him to piss off and sit on the floor too
