AIBU to object to my partner wearing his late father's underwear?

[whyohwhyisitalwayswet]

As the title says, am I being unreasonable to object to my partner wearing his (late) father's underwear?

His father died a few years ago, and his mother gave him lots of quite nice clothes of his father's to have. I recently discovered that he'd also inherited his father's underwear which he is now wearing! He claims it has been washed countless times and is in good condition, so he doesn't get why I would object. But, I do....! Would you??

Sort of implies you’d wear a live person’s underwear. What’s dead got to do with it?

I would be very repulsed by this, underwear is feels more personal than outer clothes, it feels very skinflint-y to me and I’d find that off putting.

Legacy longjohns?

Bequeathed briefs?

Like imagine your husband comes home one day with his dead mums pants for you to wear 😂😂

Hard pass.

I've thought about this for a minute and I believe the problem is that, however briefly (sorry!), subconsciously or tangentially, the thought of your husband wearing his late father's pants is bringing the stomach churning concept of his late father's gentlemen's vegetables into your mind. And that is an enormous and horrific, cringe inducing passion killer. As though, now he has worn them, his own bits are FIL adjacent by proxy.

That's what I think anyway.

not if its previously used, new yes but not used

Why is it 'playing dress up'? If you have your deceased parents' dining table, are you playing housey? And if you keep and drive your dead parents' car, is that you playing vroom-vroom?

They're just useful items that the previous owner no longer needs or can use - why does it have to be mocked as some kind of kids' game if somebody who can still use them does so? Nobody's forcing you to have anything second-hand, if you don't want to.

Not the same I know.But when Mum died I wore her massive thick sheepskin jacket.Really cold winter .My dog knocked me over on the frozen field ! Her coat was very good insulation! If DH wants to wear Dads things I dont see any harm really.Underwear is close to the skin and probably feels comforting

There’s that old saying ‘Never wear a dead man’s pants’. I live by that 🤣

I’m sorry but dead dad’s underwear because it’s close to the skin feels comforting.

That’s a whole new level of well I don’t want to get deleted or banned but jeez

Christ no. Dead daddy’s cock and bollocks.

And then what? You pull them down when it’s blow job time? Horrendous.

Tell yourself that when you’re peeling them off for a bit of how’s your (dead) father.

So comforting.

If any of that jewellery was her rings then there is a high probability it's touched both your parents genitals.

Why is that ok but not some fabric that's been washed.

Have you thought of taking them to Pantiques Roadshow?

I guess you never let your mum give you kiss you in general. High probability she might of given your dad a blow job after all.

I want to say yes but I just can't....! I just can't imagine ripping my FIL's pants off my DH....! It would kind of ruin the moment.....

Better than them just going into landfill IMO.

Pre-loved undercrackers, not my cup of tea.

It's weird because both his and his dad's genitals have made their home in that same pair of pants - doesn't matter that they've been washed. I would be horrified by it personally, it's the thought if where they've been. Nobody wants to see their DH in a pair of pants and then get a mental image of their FIL 😱 - outraged that I can't find a puking emoji on here.

Burn them? Dog ate them?

What would he say if you wore your mum knickers??

and yeah I agree - weird. Like not sexy at all - you’d be thinking of his dad?!

I'm not saying it's logical.

But personally, I would not want to know my OH is going around in dead dad pants. It's fucking weird and that is a hill I am very much prepared to die on.

Big fan of saving the planet, secondhand clothes etc. but I draw the line at second hand underwear, from the living or the dead.

The whole post is about her dead father in laws pants but if you want to pedantic, then yes, all pants that have had any other genitals in them are not for me.

🤢🤢🤮🤮
