Miracle tits - does partner get to keep them?

193 replies

Boobiliciousness · 13/01/2024 15:16

Partner has come up with a hypothetical that we (weirdly) don't agree on.

The situation: he wakes up and has a pair of actual boobs. They are normal boobs, fully attached the same way boobs are, and he says they can also help out with breastfeeding. The bonus to him is he gets to admire them. He calls them "the miracle tits".

The disagreement: I say the fictional miracle tits have to go back to wherever or whatever they came from. He says his body his choice, and that they stay.

Who is being unreasonable?

What about a uniboob?

what if mens testicles were tit sized on their chest?

Partner says it's not the same. Apparently that would feel like less of a miracle

DH says he thinks he’d keep them but wouldn’t be up for wearing a bra. I said he’d change his mind the minute he arrived at the gym. Anyway, I digress. I don’t think you can tell him what you want him to do with the miracle tits, unless you’re okay with him telling you what to do with your actual tits (boob job, reduction, underwear preferences etc).

Wibblywobblylikejelly · 13/01/2024 17:35

Would the miracle tits look better than my bog standard tits? If they look better they have to go. I can't be beaten by miracle tits.

OP some things I've ruined my husbands evening asking him.

If I was a worm would you still love me.

If I went died and years later you remarried, set up a home and everything and then I reappeared fully alive. Who would you choose?

I suspect your husband has an imminent announcement about his gender identity.

Try ‘could you live / work with yourself?’ This one lasted quite a while at work.

Maybe he's just seen Barbie movie with the Breast-enlargement Barbie. Since I can't unsee it, if anyone announced they were from the Mattel R&D department, I think I would just run.

Has he got man boobs

What the fuck is going on? 😭

Reminds me of the Steve Martin joke where he declares that if he had breasts he’d stay at home and fondle them all day.

Funnier when he said it, sorry,

I used to work with several men (manual workers) and this sort of thing would come up a lot during their break (my office was next to their break room and had paper-thin walls).

They all said they'd love their own pair to play with and admire. It was a subject that came up a lot especially when the reps would bring the latest topless calendar in or if there was a new bloke.

They all seemed like nice, normal and surprisingly respectful blokes compared to the reps and execs who always had to try a stealth grope or would make disgusting suggestions to my face.

I doubt you have the power to make them stay or go against their will.

However.

His body his choice.

Your attraction, your choice.

He can have them. You can leave.

I wouldn't let his nurse the baby without assurance it's real breast milk adjusted to the babies needs.

What are you all smoking? I don't get this thread at all!

It's called imagination

Nanaof1 · 13/01/2024 17:55

My DH and I have had some really strange "imagine ifs" throughout our quite long marriage, but you and your DP have gone far into the universe and far past us with this one.

I bow to you and your DP's imagination and humor. 🙇

This OP made me shudder.

The thought of my husband fantasising about growing his own tits, fantasising about breastfeeding our child with them, and fantasising about this causing me some sort of dilemma - of what? Envy? Feeling sidelined by his narcissistic self containment? Unhappiness that my daughter no longer had a special relationship only mothers can have with their children? Ick ick ick. Trying to get me to picture the freakish sight when I am sexually repelled by female sex characteristics and attracted to male sex characteristics.

What a revolting thought experiment.

LTB.

Unclench Cat. DH and I talk about what we'd do if one of us got the chance to go to Mars. We've Def had weird "if I woke up X" conversations. We also have a running joke about his mistress Veronica and my bit on the side Steve. Both imaginary obv. He'll say he's out tonight and I'll say oh goody, Steve wants to come over once the kids are on bed.

DH is worried he'd have nothing to wear so would send them back.

Definitely sounds like AGP. It's not attractive and not funny. I would definitely be worried if my husband was coming up with these kind of "hypothetical" ideas. I would be very concerned that he was testing to see what my reaction would be to his "kink". It definitely wouldn't be favourable...

Didydani · 13/01/2024 18:02

I'm sorry but im absolutely laughing my head off this. What? 🤣

OutFromUnderYou · 13/01/2024 18:04

'Definitely sounds like AGP'

Does it aye?

🤣🤣🤣

Bibbidybobbidyroo · 13/01/2024 18:06

What the hell is AGP?

Nortono · 13/01/2024 18:07

Can you vote for “you are being weird”?

Is his chest hairy or smooth?
Are his tits hairy or smooth?
Are they hairy tits on a hairy chest or are they smooth tits on a hairy chest?
Or are they hairy tits on a smooth chest?

All depends...

fetchacloth · 13/01/2024 18:23

This would really give me the right ick.😒
The tits have to go !!😄

qazxc · 13/01/2024 18:31

I'm with him, it's up to him if he keeps them. You can't force him to get a mastectomy if he didn't want one.
But there would be consequences to him keeping them. What about clothes, your level of physical attachment to him, etc? That's even before you get into uncomfortable bras, mastitis, shoulder or back pain, mammograms,....
Other all it may be a bit of an amusing novelty for a while but I would think he would tire of them pretty quickly.

MoonWoman69 · 13/01/2024 18:36

Seriously?! Ick! I thought I had some weird conversations, but this is just bizarre! I'd be seriously worried that he was testing you out and that he secretly wants to transition!!! Big nope, I'd be looking at him in a different light from now on! 🤢
