To be angry of DH fiddling on my side of the bed?

Kukaracha · 12/04/2025 16:23

When I go out and he is having a me moment IYKWIM, he does it on my side of the bed because it’s further away from the window. Don’t ask how I know - I think most women know what happens in the house when they are out, it’s like CSI in our heads.

I don’t care that he does it as such, who does not - just not on my side. Close the blinds, pull the curtains, just get off my pillows.

@Kukaracha I have absolutely no idea where some women find those disgusting men!!!

financialcareerstuff · 12/04/2025 18:00

I think we’re being very hard on this guy. He’s wanking. Fine, people do. We all know that. He’s doing it on her side, for a practical reason, not weird fetish. Fine. He’s clearing up after himself, to the point that the only reason OP suspects is that the place is TOO tidy!!! Considerate of him. I mean, ok, if you find wanking a bit off putting, then ask him not to do it on your side… but why so angry…?

YABU to say angry "of", but not to be annoyed at/with/by/about your husband's behaviour.

Thedogscollar · 12/04/2025 18:11

I'm so confused between CSI, velvet embellished cushions, evidence in the laundry bin and wanking husbands.

It's like a weird game of Cluedo.

sixtyandfabulousofcourse · 12/04/2025 17:42

why is he wanking anyway

Sorry what 🤣🤣🤣

ICanTellYouMissMe · 12/04/2025 18:13

I had a wank on the sofa today. Twice. Maybe I should have Dextered it with cling film first or something, judging by the horrified comments on here.

"Can you not wank on my side of the bed please? Thank you"

Yes as simple as that. Everyone has a play now and again, so just tell him the rules.

I am howling at “wanking like a chimp”

OP get him a penis beaker

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 12/04/2025 18:17

So there’s no semen anywhere? I genuinely don’t understand what’s the problem. Are you saying you don’t like your husband wanking in his own home, in his own bed? Because the dry clean only velvet embossed cushions have a crease in them?

Sometimes I read this site and think ‘poor bastard’.

Which side of the bed do you have sex on?

Well I hope you’ve bleached it from head to toe.

(Does a sofa have a head and toe I wonder? 🤔)

Yeah, I’m a bit confused about the outrage too!

ICanTellYouMissMe · 12/04/2025 18:25

I have fully bleached it @ThisIsMyYearToFindMyselfand given myself a stern talking to for wanking like a chimp.

girljulian · 12/04/2025 16:49

I don't give a shit where my husband wanks really, so long as he doesn't make a mess!

I'm with you!

Thedogscollar · 12/04/2025 18:25

@Kukaracha
Is your husband karate chopping cushions?? If so this is a heinous crime, much worse wanking on any side of the bed.
The karate chopped cushions I'd be livid about, the wanking is small fry.

Bubblybits · 12/04/2025 18:26

From the OP I was on your side, but actually with the update I cannot understand why you’re angry. He’s put anything dirty in the laundry basket and made an effort to put your side of the bed back together again. So what are you angry about? His naked arse cheeks on your side of the bed? So many women on here seem to be married to men that they hate. What have your velvet cushions got to do with it? If they’re clean then he’s being careful so it’s fine? Obviously if it bothers you then you should tell him and he should respect that, but I think you’re massively overreacting.

SunnierDays21 · 12/04/2025 18:26

OP, there was a poster on here last week who found out her partner had been wanking over photos of her best friend saved on his phone.

That warranted outrage, your partner daring to knock one out whilst sat on your side of the bed and not leaving any mess barely warrants a raised eyebrow.

Princess behaviour!

This is how it reads & yes it's grim & abnormal

No one is wanking onto pillows. He’s lying on her side of the bed.
a) I have no clue what goes on when I’m not home
b) I give no rat’s arses where my dh masturbates. It repulses me not.
c) he’s clean. He’s not smearing cum anywhere.
why are so many women repulsed by their men’s sexuality

This thread is beyond weird.

It really does seem that way.

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 12/04/2025 18:29

@springbringshope why are so many women repulsed by their men’s sexuality

To be fair though, it does make for some entertaining threads when I’m having a browse during my elevenses.

JoshLymanSwagger · 12/04/2025 17:25

Make him BUY new bedding.

Every time.

Suggest he get his rocks off in the shower IYSWIM Grin

You think he should buy new bedding every time he wanks? He doesn’t cum on the bedding. Do you even like men?
where do you masturbate?

Sherararara · 12/04/2025 18:31

So the issue is he sits on your side of the bed to have a wank and you would prefer him to do it on his side. So normal behaviour.
So a total non issue then.
