To be sick of my husband always being nude

123 replies

Emptycrackedcup · 20/02/2023 19:57

My DH is very comfortable in is skin so is always walking around naked, outside on the balcony, in the garden etc. I am not comfortable with nudity, and personally I don't think it's fair to the neighbours (I would be annoyed if a neighbour was doing this). Today he was stretching bent over and well you could basically see everything, not very attractive! He was facing the neighbours window (who he doesn't think is home). It's really annoying me as I think it's disrespectful and rude. AIBU?

Do you actually find him remotely attractive? After he has finished showing you ( and your long suffering neighbours) what he has had for lunch? Are you not gagging for a release of some kind?

In the shape of a divorce lawyer and a locksmith? Throw his scraggy arse out on the street tonight and remind him what indecent exposure carries a custodial sentence in some cases.

The next time he's airing his hairy brain OP just slap it away like a fly.

Blessedwithsunshine · 20/02/2023 20:40

Fly spray also has a chilling effect

Private parts should be covered up...they are germy and its inappropriate if you have kids too.I get walking round top less or sleeping in pants in hot weather, but going around naked is dirty and unnecessary.

Cocobutt · 20/02/2023 20:45

I think it’s fine to do in the house but definitely not fine to do in the garden!

My friend, her husband and kids are very open and regularly walk around their home naked.
She was upset that one of her teenage sons has started being uncomfortable with being naked and won’t walk around naked in front of them and doesn’t want them to come in when he’s in the shower - I’m no prude but I just find it so odd!

sjxoxo · 20/02/2023 20:46

If I was your neighbour I’d probably be thinking of moving or calling the police for indecency! Come on. YANBU

MelaniesFlowers · 20/02/2023 20:48

A) you’ve already admitted they probably can’t see

and b) it’s his garden, if the neighbours don’t want to see it they shouldn’t be looking

Has he never heard of the offence of indecent exposure? He can be arrested and get a criminal record. Or does he get a kick out of flashing and playing a game of 'accidentally' being caught naked?

This is a horrible form of male entitlement. Willy-waving in public. Poor you. He sounds really pervy.

What part of the country do you live in, OP?

Anyone naked in the garden round my way today would have been at risk of hypothermia, or frostbitten tackle.

RiktheButler · 20/02/2023 21:01

Ignoring the usual peral clutching on Mumsnet at the mere mention of exposed flesh, some of you really need to brush up on the law before pontificating

If your private parts are germy you should take a shower.

There is nothing dirty about being naked in your own home.

ThunderRolls88 · 20/02/2023 21:03

Oh no, I'm a bit like this in my own house. The garden is too far. Love sitting bare arsed on my fabric sofa though ngl.

I'm not a perv. I feel safe and happy naked. I grew up in a naked house, so maybe that's why. Don't find nudity sexual, or dirty at all.

Have you told him you don't like it?

Florenz · 20/02/2023 21:04

OP was your DP always like this before you got married?

dontgobaconmyheart · 20/02/2023 21:04

He very obviously knows its not socially acceptable, and also knows that he can/will most likely be seen so to be honest, I'd be fairly convinced its something he actively enjoys the thought of.

There's nothing wrong with appropriately timed nudity, but the fact that he lacks the understanding that others need to consent to seeing his is a bit worrying.

Hate to state the obvious, but have you ever actually spoken to him about this?

Southern hemisphere, he does it in the winter too though (although possibly not outside, I can't remember tbh!). Maybe I should investigate moving to a much colder climate!

SwordToFlamethrower · 20/02/2023 21:09

He's a naturist. Nothing wrong with that, but you should talk to your DH about being naked in places where he could be seen. Being naked in your own space is fine, but if you're seen and it can be proven the nudity was to cause upset, shock or offence, it could be a problem.

Get an apiary. Should sort out the garden issue

Yes a few times when we first got together, he didn't understand what the big deal was. Personally I feel males don't mind their partners doing this, but I most females might/would. I'm also quite uncomfortable in general, so I'm probably on the more extreme end of the scale (eg don't like topless beaches etc). Plus how hard is it to just put on your underwear ffs. I guess as it is before and after the shower maybe I need to just chill out a bit, it's not like he's going to change now anyway. It just really annoyed me today 😤
