AIBU to mention DH bum crack while he’s cooking.

It’s great he’s cooking, but he’s taken to wading his jeans very low so there is a massive amount of bulbous hairy flesh on show. I can’t believe it’s great for DS15 to see either.
I asked him to pull his trousers up so he turns it onto me, says he has to look at me being gross, and before we know it hes got super angry and we are in a row. Then he says,‘it’s Friday night and I’m going to ask you to literally stop talking’ so I make to leave and he says ‘so I’ve got to cook all the dinner on my own then?’
I said I need a moment to calm down and came in here to grumble to you guys.
AIBU to ask him to wear his trousers properly?
Grrrr!

We need a drawing.

Or photo. Then we’ll vote.

It sounds more like OP told her husband to pull his trousers up cause his arse was hanging out, and added the 'bulbous hairy flesh' to this thread as a hurt response to him calling her gross.

Yanbu OP. If my butt cheeks were out for all to see Id wanted to be told, as would my husband!

Put a pair of suspenders in his Christmas stocking.

you cannot tell another adult how to dress in their own home

The op shouldn't have to tell her slob of a husband to cover his hairy arse crack around their daughter, but since he doesn't have enough sense and decency to, needs must.

OP stated DS, not much better tho tbh

Calliopespa · 17/11/2023 21:17

im wondering what you expected him to do when you complained about his butt. Turn the other cheek!? 🤣

SplendidUtterly · 17/11/2023 21:23

What did he mean by he has to look at you being gross?

Yes! I was wondering that too! Perhaps another photo?

egowise · 17/11/2023 21:31

This would give the ick! How gross! (And yes the same if a woman was cooking either her arse hanging out, there's no need!)

uhOhOP · 17/11/2023 21:33

I hesitated before voting that you are NOT being unreasonable, OP, and I was surprised that most people think the same. I actually do think it is unreasonable to tell somebody how to dress, but I also think it's thoroughly unpleasant to see your spouse turning into a slob. He's either deliberately naked or he's wearing his undercrackers and kecks in such a way that his buttocks aren't half on display, but to be neither here nor there... No.

Well considering the alternative is trouser’s/jeans hoisted up to the armpit

the occasional flash of arse crack is the least worst option

Calliopespa · 17/11/2023 21:35

Why is everyone feeling the act of cooking is so relevant? Builders build all day long with their butts hanging out and that’s in public. His butt isn’t actually involved in the cooking . Unless bits of food are landing in it …

bozzabollix · 17/11/2023 21:35

Penny in the slot.

Wearing your trousers so the waistband is on your waist is not exactly "up to the armpit".

Thepeopleversuswork · 17/11/2023 21:37

I couldn't get that excited about this tbh. I certainly don't think it's a "decency" issue to have an inch or so of flesh visible when you're cooking with your own family FFS. I'd also feel a bit nagged if I was being told how to dress in my own home.

I'm team DH.

HarrietSchulenberg · 17/11/2023 21:37

Pop a pencil in there. Tell him next time you see it you'll be parking a bike in it.

Sorry, son. Daughter, son, doesn't matter. I can't imagine any teen being happy to see their parents arse crack.

Teens aren't generally happy being confronted with the evidence that their parents are living breathing humans so I'm not sure that argument holds much weight.

@Duvetfluff how did you ask him?

EatYourVegetables · 17/11/2023 21:39

Sit in the kitchen with a glass of wine and a bag of frozen peas, throwing them into the crack. Bonus points for distance.

Calliopespa · 17/11/2023 21:40

He wins if he can fire it back, no hands

DyslexicPoster · 17/11/2023 21:41

I have been known to put a pen down dhs but crack when he bends over. Russian roulette using a pen in this house

CityCommuter · 17/11/2023 22:06

@Duvetfluff is this like one of those parking threads where a precision drawing is needed to make everything clear?

Calliopespa · 17/11/2023 22:08

I’m still in favour of photos

Just wondering how different the responses might be if a man tried telling a woman how to dress in her own home 🤔 or referred to any part of her body as "bulbous hairy flesh".

Whilst it wouldn't be particularly appealing to me l, and I think it's fine to politely voice your thoughts on the matter, you cannot tell another adult how to dress in their own home 🤷

Most women wouldn't cook dinner with their arse hanging out.
