My DH has bought me a gift...

My husband was acting a little strange around me yesterday - shrugged it off and let it go..

This morning he presented me with a gift , a pair of thigh high bondage lace up platform pole dancing boots. He gets off on the way they look and wants me to wear them in the bedroom.

I am bit speechless if I’m honest. I’m not sure how to even react.. it’s so not me at all , if anything I’m cringing so badly. But he is my husband and I understand he’s trying to make more of an effort with us in that department...

How do I let him down nicely ..

Looks like you have a decent pair of legs there @Sunshinesandice!
I can't imagine sex being very comfortable in those, it doesn't look like you could ben your legs easily.

I would be concerned I'd poke holes in the bed sheets with those heels 😂

@CirqueDeMorgue

I feel as though sex would be risky wearing them. Might accidentally jab him in the bollocks.

I'd tell him I was very excited to see him in them, and then eagerly wait for him to try them on.

In all seriousness, I would be reconsidering marriage to someone I was having "bedroom problems" with before we were even married.

@RulesDontApply2Me

Imagine how you might feel in 15 years time when he leaves for someone else. You not wearing these will be the first of a long list of knock backs. It’s your choice whether to wear them or not, however, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to, and see how much he desires you in them.

What. The. Fuck?!!!

Well. Aren’t you the handmaid here

I'm leaving this site . More and more of you are man hating harridans . He was a sick . He wanted to spice things up in the bedroom . She isn't being coerced for gods sake . Just tell him they are a bit stupid take them back and buy something you feel sexy in. We all get older and fatter and lose our libido and there is no reason we should f both make an effort to still look attractive for our partners. One woman was asking if her husband should still fancy her after facing 4 stones and some of the answers made my blood boil . Enjoy your man hating coven

I think you have missed the point entirely @mrsrat. Most women wouldn't want their husbands/partners to buy them something that is degrading and objectifying. I just don't find wearing any kind of footwear in bed comfortable so no, it would do the complete opposite of spicing things up.

🎵These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots will walk me away from you🏃‍♀️🎵

You get the gist....

You do have enviably long legs. I'm 5ft & would probably have to the turn the tops down to make them short enoughConfused
I tried some long boots when I was a rock chick. One pair looked like I was wearing waders, the other pair it was more going salmon fishing.

I get it.
There has been many cases of double standards on this site - a women started a thread saying her DH had hid inheritance money from her and the entire thread said he was disgusting and to LTB etc. Then a female said she had inherited money and most people told her to hide it and put it in a separate account incase they separate in the future Confused

There are definitely some man haters on here that say everything is abusive but there are some that aren’t. It makes it difficult for people to get advice though when nearly every post is telling someone to leave then the OPs don’t listen when their partner is actually being abusive and people are saying to leave.

If he wants to see women in ridiculous gear then he should go to one of those pole dancing clubs.

So we are man haters now for wanting autonomy over our own bodies?

Besides the point, but a trick of the light and it looks like your living room ends at the drop-off to a cliff by the door. Grin

Are they allowed to open now under the roadmap? Grin

Meh, it's just a pair of boots, not like he's asked you to cover yourself in melted blue cheese and spank him with an offset spatula

Wear em or don't, no big deal either way

I think the point is that if the OP WAS into kinky boots, she would have bought some herself long before now. She has a kid, so is hardly a vestal virgin. The pornstar boots aren’t her thing, they’re HIS. He’s been busy watching porn and if she were to put the boots on, she would feel like he wasn’t making love to her, but one of the women from the pornos he’s into. Why should she pretend to be someone she isn’t? These boots/that scene do not float OP’s boat!
