DH uses 4 pairs of underwear a day!

[RoLaren]

Lighthearted thread

AIBU to think this is excessive?!

He cycles to work so wears two pairs in case of ahem sweatiness soaking through on his work trousers. When he gets there he changes into a fresh pair. After work he cycles home, has a shower (key worker) then dons a fourth and final pair.

Four bloody pairs for every work day!

AIBU or is he?

He's an old fashioned kind of a man who prefers to wear tweed. He wears (I'm not kidding) puttees to keep his trousers clean. I had to threaten divorce to make him wear a cycle helmet rather than a pith one. Lycra does not feature in his wardrobe. Reader, I married him.

Is it usual to go commando in cycling shorts?! Learn something new everyday! But yes OP, sounds excessive to me!

I thought he had leakage!!!!!

Can’t see the problem here..he does do his own laundry, right?

He needs to wear cycling shorts without pants, have a wash of his bits when he gets to work then don his first pair of pants of the day. Keep those on under his shorts for the journey home then a fresh pair after his shower.

Just had to Google puttees... Did he time travel here from 1800?! And tweed?! Now I know why he's worried about sweating, would smell like a wet dog...

How does he fit his elephant gun on his bike carrier?

Tweed! He must stink. I’m sure you find his unusual draconian ways endearing but please, he should be wearing appropriate clothing and materials to suit his exercise and then changing into workwear thereafter.

Sounds fine to me, RoLauren, better than going around in sweaty underclothes. I like a nice clean man but, really, it's his business how often he changes clothes and not yours, even though you're married.

He wears what now? Is he quite elderly?

Where does he buy his clothes? I can't remember the last time I saw pith helmets for sale, and I had to google puttees.

What the hell are puttees?

Better than sweaty ballage.

TBF if i was him Id wear 4 pairs of underwear a day yo if my live in maid washed them too

OP is your DH's hobby hanging out in a haunted board game?

Sounds better than the alternative 😳

Dh and ds1 are also like this and out of quarantine they would be changing clothes multiple times per typical day....

Example Dh... 6.30am morning run, 12pm gym 7pm gym session/run activity, he also plays contact sports between the his, Ds are the same.

My Landry basket is full everyday and I do roughly 30 washings per week.

Your hubby sounds kind of a gent! Well done for marrying him! I would however, introduce him to that incredible invention known as ‘marigolds’.

He cycles in tweed trousers and puttees?? With two pairs of pants to stop his sweaty arse leaking? For the love of God, have a bloody word with him

4 pairs of pants- no
Problem

Tweed - LTB

Sounds fair enough. Better than being smelly and sweaty.

An abiding memory of our wedding was, as we passed his grandmother walking out of the church, of her saying in a subtle stage whisper: 'What's that bloody thing doing on his head?' Yep, it was the pith

Why does he dress like that? Is it a form of attention seeking?

Oh he sounds endearing!
Sweaty balls is not fun.
Introduce him to marigolds (I find it amusing people think "washing up liquid irritating hands" is an excuse to get out of doing the washing up when some PP on here have literally backed this irritability up!).

Quatantino I think he sees himself as knocking on the door of Cluedo mansion in a rainstorm wearing an oilskin poncho and holding a lantern, looking for an escapee from the local asylum ...
