DH not changed bedding for 4 weeks

[peachescariad]

He's in a separate bedroom. Flithy f**ker not changed his bed for 4 weeks, so this morning I asked him if he was thinking of changing his sheets as he's been in them for 4 weeks.....he doesn't have a clue how long they've been on....If I had not mentioned it, I wonder how long he'd have kept them on.
He's in our son's room and he's coming back end of July so have ordered some nice new bedding for him 😄

It used to be normal to do them weekly. That was largely because it required the copper heated up so all washing was done weekly. Plus people only bathed weekly. Not sure it’s objectively necessary now.

Its effing minging. What are you talking about? He must stink

Everyone does. They are invisible to the naked eye though.
That's why anyone who's read anything about this knows they are there and need washing, regularly.
Have a google.

I don’t think I’ve stated my schedule.

Do you not think the OP would have posted about her stinking husband rather than his bed if he did?

I get a bath every night before bed and shower every morning before work. There’s me and my little girl sleep in my bed lol my hubby also sleeps in spare room. I change all beds weekly. I couldn’t stand it longer than that. I’ve even changed sheet or pillows before a week too. I’m not a clean freak by any means but that would give me the ick too

My 18m old helped put bedding into the washing machine today (pillow cases). It's easy to teach!

Especially in this weather! 🥵

My dh and I have separate rooms. Can't be bloody doing either sharing a bed. Neither can he. But I change all the beds weekly including d c no big deal.

Used to be normal? It still is!

Heating up the copper weekly doesn't equate to washing sheets every week- where's your logic there?

There have been many different washing machines before automatics. My gran ( born in the Victorian era) had a boiler, and a washing machine with a mangle, as did my Mum. Washing was sometimes done on a Monday, but not only then.

In my lifetime I've used a twin tub, because automatics had not been invented.

🤮

Fact , pillowcases have more bacteria on them than the toilet seat 🤮imagine in this weather all the sweating and sleeping in it for four weeks

Well, it is my experience. They're not fine. I don't like smelly towels, and as people use them to dry their bums, think they need washing pretty regularly. So there you go.

@Falingoth me too if I’m honest, unless I’ve had guests .

I change mine after my period has finished so once a month. I tend to sweat a lot during that time.
It is just me so no one else to care much about it.
I have never been ill or had any skin conditions.

It's quite depressing to read that so many younger women (and men) who have every appliance to hand, can't be arsed to keep their homes clean.

Standards have slipped.

Unless you are working down a mine, 2 weeks is enough.

Sorry but that’s just gross, makes you wonder how lapse he is with overall hygiene. No, thanks…would never had passed the test to become husband material..and yes, before anyone asks, it is possible to kind, generous, compassionate, respectful AND hygienic, it’s not either or 🙄

I think people just don’t want to spend every waking minute either working or doing housework.

Personally I don’t make work for myself. I’d far rather spend the time it takes to change the bedding once every few days having a well earned sit down, and it’ll get done when it needs doing.

😂 Calm down Hyacinth.

I wash bedding and towels fortnightly but a week apart. Sometimes I miss it and it can go to 4 weeks. It's a mission to keep on top of. Any stains or smells then it's changed irrespective of date. If I had a cleaner/housekeeper then I'd likely do them all weekly (they would, ha)

While I agree with you that 4 weeks is very long, you are not sleeping together so why do you let it bother you? I assume you are no longer intimate, so it’s not like you are physically lying next to him or touching his body. Choose another hill to die on

Probably not as much bacteria as you have in your gut. There are at least the same number of bacteria cells in your body as human cells. Hope this doesn't freak you out.

Why is it your business when you're not sleeping in the bed? Presumably the man showers, and if you still have sex with him ask him to change the sheets or shag in another room.
