To not want dh to hang his old trousers up over my dressing gown

Pleasehelpmefindagoodusername · 10/12/2023 00:08

Just that. We've been married 25 years. My dh has only recently started to do this. I hang my dressing gown up on the bathroom door. My dh hangs up old trousers that he's been wearing to do jobs over them by the trousers loops etc. All the time recently. Driving me mad. I tell him to stop. He says he will. And then he does it again. Aibu to be annoyed and want him to stop

You’re not being unreasonable, but I suggest you / he add an extra hook to the back of the bathroom door, then he can hang his trousers on that.

Put a second hook on the door. One each. Those plastic Command hooks are surprisingly strong and long lasting.

VeniVidiWeeWee · 10/12/2023 00:11

Get another hook that's convenient for him?

Aquamarine1029 · 10/12/2023 00:12

I'd be as annoyed as you are. I would be asking him why he's seemingly incapable of respecting a very simple request.

Aquamarine1029 · 10/12/2023 00:21

It's absolutely insane that the first three respondents place the burden of this issue right into the op's lap, because apparently she should have to figure out a solution, for a grown man, to stop him from being so fucking inconsiderate.

This man is not a child and the op is not his mother.

Nope. I said that either of them can add an extra hook.

We have 3 hooks on the back of the door

YANBU. Presumably he can understand what you said. He's simply not caring enough to bother. Just drop them on the floor and leave them there.

AllrightNowBaby · 10/12/2023 17:44

Dressing gowns look ok hung on a bathroom door but scruffy old trousers that he has been doing jobs in do not.
Where did he used to leave them before?

Oh this is such an annoying, lazy man thing to do!

My own DH was nearly banned from our en-suite after I discovered that the very small towel that I get out fresh every two days to dry my very clean and cleansed face as part of my skin care routine (I suffer badly with acne) was being used by him in the mornings.

What for? To put on the floor/bath mat and stand on to dry his feet and then hair to save getting the mat wet after his shower! Gross. So I was using his foot towel on my face every second night with all of his footy-skin cells on it.

Get your own towel!! Ugh. I don't even want him using the hand towel for that!

Just tell him to bloody well stop OP. I'm sure he's bright enough to come up with his own solution!

Your dressing gown is on one. What is on the other two?

If you say nothing then I give you permission to bin his trousers every single time until he learns not to do it.

Bin then then deny all knowledge every time until he stops

Can't see the issue tbh
