Divorce over workwear in bed

Lighthearted obviously but…

tonight after a short day at work my husband decided to get into bed, that I just washed yesterday, in his work clothes. To make this worse he’s a chef and we argue about this nearly everyday.

AIBU to divorce him over this?
outside of this he is usually okay, but he grew up in a very dirty home.

I used to date a chef, and it is fucking knackering work, so I get that he’s tired…. But it’s very very grim indeed to get into bed in your kitchen clothes.

Not that one should have to, but if you aren’t minded to murder or divorce him, i suppose you could train him as one would a child? Naice shower gel as an incentive, pop his fresh pjs out for him on the towel rail etc etc …?

I couldn’t be arsed, personally. I probably genuinely would be divorcing him. But thin is why im pushing 40 and eternally single. I chuck ‘em back for the slightest transgression 😁

No no no no no! But I’m acutely aware of smells and the smell of cooking/food in my bed which should smell of summer meadows/fresh air would drive me to absolute distraction!

MissConductUS · 30/07/2024 20:27

Do you have a patio?😁

Absolutely divorce, my son is a chef. Sometimes I'm at eviction point with him, especially when it's been fish night 🦀🦞🦐

YABU.
Divorce costs you!
Get hints good life insurance and become the grieving widow!

This.

Shellfish are your friends here:

  1. buy oysters
  2. bury at end of garden
  3. when nice and juicy mix in with his seafood salad
  4. feign nausea and administer emetic
  5. cry piteously in front of police

FFS don't get caught:

Or just retain for fantasy purposes. Every time you feel you just might do it, up his life insurance. You'll look like suspect no. 1. It's a sobering thought.

Plan B

Explain to him that his chef's whites will get washed with your indigo undies if he doesn't keep them out of the sack. If you haven't got indigo undies get some and hide the blue clothes dye. My ex had pink undies for years until he got the message.

TeaGinandFags · 30/07/2024 20:34

Or a separate bedroom

Hankunamatata · 30/07/2024 20:37

Go all Hyacinth Bucket and make him strip at the door

Light-hearted addition... I always used to think lab coats were sexy. Until my beloved DH came home at lunchtime in his to try and be sexy and I found out he'd been working with e-coli all morning... (Apparently it was the harmless variety but I still didn't want it on my sheets!)

SnowFrogJelly · 31/07/2024 01:09

Why would anyone do that?!

Have you been watching this season of The Bear 😆

YABU for saying this is jokey. Absolutely divorce him over disgusting behaviour like that. At the very least get a lock on your bedroom and don’t let him in till he’s showered after work and clothes are in the washing. That’s fucking atrocious. Throw him back in the sea. Filthy monster.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Emmz1510 · 31/07/2024 20:52

Yuk that’s disgusting and surely far too warm?? It’s warm where I am just now (west of Scotland) and that would be unbearable.

Jeez calm down, she already made it clear she was being light hearted about divorcing.

@grisen YANBU to be upset with him, it doesn't take that long to change into something clean and comfy.

Edited

Yes because this person was definitely being serious about murdering him

WHAT!

Including the big tall / floppy hat thing?

Same 😆

Loving all the murder /insurance plots 😂

grisen · 01/08/2024 02:18

Reading the posts about it being too hot unfortunately don’t ring true for us as we have left the uk and are currently experiencing high winds and rain.
And I have to say that as much as the murder plots are making me laugh it’s off the table as he is a wonderful dad when he’s home.

I read the title 'workwear in bed' and immediately thought of a naughty nurse uniform.
Is it just me?

Milliemoo6 · 03/08/2024 22:52

Outdoor clothes on in bed is not on, let alone a semi-clean bed.

Bella259 · 04/08/2024 11:04

It seems awful. Anyone needs to wash, and apart from any rings, no need to wear anything in bed.

Wiseoldself2022 · 04/08/2024 11:51

Mine worked in A/E and would come and remove his trousers, leave his t-shirt on and jump into bed after a night shift! When I complained, he would say I was unreasonable!
😏

CutthroatDruTheViolent · 04/08/2024 20:27

He got into bed, intending to sleep, in his chef whites?! You don't just mean he took off his jacket and trousers and got in with his pants and a t-shirt or whatever on?

How can that be comfortable if you mean the former?
