Do you get undressed in front of your partner?

On Loose Women today, Linda Robinson said she's never got undressed in front of her husband. She goes into the bathroom to put on her pjs.

What!?! This is crazy to me. Made me wonder if anyone else feels the same as Linda?

Linda's reason was because of her strict catholic upbringing.

I tend not to because I get up and go to bed at different times, but otherwise, yes

Isseywith3witchycats · 11/10/2022 16:39

of course i do and he gets undressed in front of me not a pretty sight

RiftGibbon · 11/10/2022 16:39

We sleep naked, so no point being prudish.

Zingy123 · 11/10/2022 16:40

Yes. It's Linda Robson not Robinson.

WinterCollieWobble22 · 11/10/2022 16:44

Yes I do, I take great joy in stripping off while he's in mid conversation. He never ever finishes his sentence 🤣

16 years going strong

He always gets dressed/undressed in front of me I do 80% of the time but if I'm going to shower etc then I'll get dressed after in the bathroom.

gogohmm · 11/10/2022 16:50

My goodness, of course. I don't put a fresh outfit (pj's) on either, what is the point of nightwear in modern houses

BigSandyBalls2015 · 11/10/2022 16:51

Used to but age and weight gain have made me self conscious … not that he would ever be unkind or rude.

SirenSays · 11/10/2022 17:05

Of course. I sleep naked and I'm pretty much a nudist when it's hot anyway

theonlygirl · 11/10/2022 17:08

yes, mostly, unless I'm feeling particularly unhappy with my body or we've had a row. 😂

AmITooTired · 11/10/2022 17:13

No, I don’t.
I want to change in private.
Works for us.

Hughgrantstrousers · 11/10/2022 17:14

Yes of course, usually he undresses me ...

AgnesNaismith · 11/10/2022 17:15

No, I change in private 🤷‍♀️

AryaStarkWolf · 11/10/2022 17:15

Yep

UnderCoverFieldAgent · 11/10/2022 17:15

That’s so weird 😂 But I take it she’s happy to have sex?

Mountainpika · 11/10/2022 17:15

Over 50 years of undressing in front of each other and never wear pyjamas/nightie. Why not?

WonderingWanda · 11/10/2022 17:15

I find that really weird, did she have children with her husband? How can you be married and intimate but not get changed in the same room?

MrsDThomas · 11/10/2022 17:15

sometimes i do.

i do like my privacy and there are thing i like to do in private.

AnApparitionQuipped · 11/10/2022 17:16

Yes, if he's not used to my saggy old body after 20 years, tough luck!

MissyB1 · 11/10/2022 17:16

Yes we both undress in front of each other. Neither of us wear anything in bed.

readyforliftoff · 11/10/2022 17:16

Yes, Sorry @Zingy123 I meant Robson!

It's bizarre to me too. How does sex work then? Lghts off, under the duvet. Life's too short for all that!

Swampthing55 · 11/10/2022 17:18

no. We both change in the bathroom and wear pjs. I get dressed in the front room as he is still in bed when I go to work and he gets dressed in the bedroom when he gets up

Heartsofstone · 11/10/2022 17:18

Don’t like to. But wouldn’t not.

AppleCorey · 11/10/2022 17:20

6 months after we met, DH helped undress me to shower after I'd had a big operation and was struggling. He even scrubbed my smelly feet!

That's when I knew he was the one.

Very comfortable being naked in front of him even though I really hate my body.

Dollydea · 11/10/2022 17:22

I don't.
Not sure why, we have a great sex life and I always sleep naked, but for some reason it just feels weird getting dressed in the morning whilst there's someone in the room.
He's usually up before me so very rarely there whilst I need to get ready, so maybe that's why.
