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.

Not any more. He makes remarks every single time and it really annoys me.

onemoreforme · 11/10/2022 17:23

I do but it took me a while to get to the point of being confident enough to change in front of him. The funny part is that my body was at its best when i was hiding it 🙈

We spend most of our time together wandering around the house naked! 😂 when we are child free obviously!

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

I love it! DH still always gives me a beaming smile, 23 years in.

Hankunamatata · 01/03/2023 12:19

I used to worry in my 30s. I'm my 40s nope. He likes what he has or he can tottle off.

Sometimes I silently lift my top up with my breasts out and just wait for DH to notice 😂Usually when he’s monologing about something very dull!

Mentalpiece · 01/03/2023 12:23

We've always got undressed and dressed in front of each other.
Sometimes we even < looks round and whispers > have sex 🤫

willow236 · 01/03/2023 12:25

Yes, we are comfortable with each other.

We used to sleep naked before kiddos were born, but not possible anymore.

browbrows · 01/03/2023 12:26

Yes unless it is time of the month.

xogossipgirlxo · 01/03/2023 12:44

Oh yes. Now I'm pregnant and take my bathrobe off to massage oil into tummy and breasts and my husband sings "It's the most wonderful time of the day", but he's always goofy like this.

VerityUnreasonble · 01/03/2023 12:49

No issues undressing in front of each other, although DH does sometimes object to me humming "the stripper" as he gets ready for bed.

Magnalux · 01/03/2023 12:51

He does.. I don’t

CoalCraft · 01/03/2023 12:51

Yes I dress/undress with him there and vice versa, never occurred to me not to.

We give each other privacy for going to the toilet but not a lot else!

BourbonBon · 01/03/2023 12:53

Of course, we’ve been married over 10 years, he’s well aware that I’m no Kate Moss by now

Zola1 · 01/03/2023 13:02

This is such an interesting read. Yes, every day, he sees me naked or in my underwear more than I see myself. If he doesn't see me get dressed he usually asks what underwear I've got on as he says he doesn't like not knowing 🤣

Aily17 · 01/03/2023 13:09

I change in private, I like my privacy, but I don't mind changing in front of my partner.

Strugglingtodomybest · 01/03/2023 13:12

yes, it has never occurred to me not to.

PumpkinDart · 01/03/2023 13:26

Yep, I think it's the highlight of his day watching me stroll around our room in the nude 😂

KnittedCardi · 01/03/2023 13:28

Yes. We sleep naked too. Also walk around naked, and chat when we're in the bath. Kids are the same. They've had an issue with it either.

That's "the kids have never had an issue with it either*

catinboooots · 01/03/2023 13:34

This is sad. I wish I had the confidence. I'm divorced now but I will never be naked in front of another human again. My body is wrecked from childbirth and age.

SallyWD · 01/03/2023 13:38

Sometimes. I often like getting dressed/undressed alone in the bathroom simply because we have a full length mirror and I like looking at myself as I get undressed (God that sounds weird!). I have no problem with my husband seeing me get undressed.

Laurdo · 01/03/2023 13:39

I recently became very aware of how much I walk around naked when my stepson moved in full time and I had to start closing doors and wearing a dressing gown. 🤣

whattodo1975 · 01/03/2023 13:43

This is super weird, "i like my privacy" surely if you are couple been together for ages nothing is private by that point in terms of seeing each other undressed.

FineWordsForAPorcupine · 01/03/2023 13:44

Definitely.

If my partner is getting dressed and I'm still in bed I'll say "Wait, hang on," and grab my glasses so I can watch him all the better. He usually complains that I'm "staring at him like a piece of meat" but with a big grin on his face.

He is a fine and lovely sight though :)
