Bare Arse on Furniture

WhataBareFacedCheek · 12/11/2026 09:50

My husband has always slept naked, which is not a problem. However, when he gets up in the morning he often walks around naked and sits on furniture.

I think this is disgusting, especially when he has just been to the toilet for a shit.

This morning he has come back into the bedroom and sat his post-shit bare-arse on the clothes I was about to put on. He argued that because he wiped his arse thoroughly after shitting (definitely no water involved), he did nothing wrong.

I would never sit naked on furniture or surfaces I share with other people and feel disgusted.

Am I being unreasonable?

YABU - there's nothing wrong with sitting on shared furniture/someone else's clothes with a well-wiped bare arse.

YANBU - it's a fucking disgusting thing to do and you are right to be upset.

Isn't he absolutely freezing walking around naked in November?
How long have you been married? Has this subject just come up for the first time?

Nicknackpaddywack16 · 12/11/2026 10:07

YANBU.

Ewwww

The house is very warm.

Most of the time he confines his bare arse to his side of the bed, but two recent incidents have given me the 🤢🤢🤮.

The first was when he sat on our new sofa a few weeks ago and the second this morning when he sat on my clothes.

There might well have been other incidents I didn't witness.

He had just finished in the loo both times.

That is genuinely grim. Makes me glad to be single.

Lurkingandlearning · 12/11/2026 10:17

Why the fuck is it important to him to wander and sit around naked? He shouldn’t do it because whatever the benefit to him is far outweighed by how much it repulses you. I would be raging

TheSnappyBluePoster · 12/11/2026 10:19

He surely did this before you married him?

Jopo12 · 12/11/2026 10:19

It's disgusting!
And even if he was clothed he shouldn't sit on your clothes, that's just thoughtless.
But yeah, you don't want your clothes and furniture to stink of shit.

notacooldad · 12/11/2026 10:21

What on earth have you married!!!!

ThisRubyJoker · 12/11/2026 10:22

Make your husband do an experiment. Get him to wipe his arse "thoroughly " with normal toilet paper. Then afterwards to use a wet wipe or similar. He will then see just how much shit remains after "thorough" dry wiping.
Sitting on furniture is disgusting.
Sitting on your clothes is fucking disgusting but also strikes me as quite aggressive.
Just how long would it take for him to put on a pair of pants in the morning?
Sheets and clothes can be washed but furniture?
This would be a deal breaker for me.

I wouldn't have an issue with the walking round naked. But the bare arse on furniture and on your clothes is just gross and I wouldn't like that either.

Tell him its fine to walk around naked but in the future if he is going to sit down then he puts pants on. The fact that he can't see that this is gross is disturbing.

Churchbell · 12/11/2026 10:27

Turn the heating down. Nobody needs a house so hot they can pootle about naked in November.
Cooler house. Good for the environment. Save money. He'll be forced to put some pyjamas on.

Magicpaintbrush · 12/11/2026 10:27

He sat on your CLOTHES??? WTAF? I'd be pissed off if someone did that when they were dressed (creases!), but to do that with his bare arse - that is revolting! He's a pig!

ByDeftPoster · 12/11/2026 10:29

Sitting on your clothes dressed or not is unacceptable.

But yes, ewww. Is this some kind of weird power move by him? It would give me the ick, there’s no way I would find him attractive anymore.

Rubyupbeat · 12/11/2026 10:29

My husband sleeps naked but always puts a pair of pants or joggers on when he gets up

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 12/11/2026 10:30

I sleep naked, & walk around naked in summer.
I wouldn't sit on my own furniture.
And I never sit on any of my clothes - naked or not.

Churchbell · 12/11/2026 10:30

I'm going to quote this ridiculous thread when the next 'dog on seat in cafe' thread comes up.

Coconutcreamz · 12/11/2026 10:30

I would 100% believe this morning was deliberate and the actions of a very deliberately passive aggressive man that doesn't like you and is sneakily having a go at you.

He is a disgusting pig.
This is rethinking marriage stuff.

SaySomethingMan · 12/11/2026 10:31

That’s really disgusting

Nofeckingway · 12/11/2026 10:31

I agree that it is very grim but oh I did laugh when I saw your title .
Yeah he needs to put on his underwear first .

Churchbell · 12/11/2026 10:32

OPs user name and the ridiculousness of the thread makes you think the whole thing is made up.

gerispringer · 12/11/2026 10:34

Yuk. Maybe he should have a shower after and then get dressed. Or put towels over all surfaces he's likely to sit on.

Eyesopenwideawake · 12/11/2026 10:34

Your anus is generally not exposed when you sit - you balance on your buttocks and thighs.

Nice try though OP.

BeardySchnauzer · 12/11/2026 10:35

Sitting on your clothes - bare arsed or not - is really disrespectful

Tink3rbell30 · 12/11/2026 10:36

Yes it's gross, so is the said bare arse all over the sheets. Unless they're changed daily.
