AIBU to ask DH to wear underpants?

299 replies

JuniorMumber · 03/09/2014 22:13

Ever since we've lived together my DH has always enjoyed relaxing around the house with just a t-shirt on and no under garments. We jokingly refer to it as 'Donald Ducking'. Now that we've had a baby (six weeks ago today!) I think it's time he started wearing under crackers around the house. It just seems more appropriate. AIBU to ask this of him?

Dogs and cats lick their starfish clean. I suppose that is an option.

Cats might, not all dogs do. Mine has the longest nose ever but he still can't reach is bum. Sadly falls to me for crumb removal

If you have visitors or the window cleaner calls to be paid who goes to the door? :)

Thank you, Gilbert. Thank Christ that's rather more innocuous than I was fearing!

I also like 'less penisy' and 'flappage and trappage' Grin

MNHQ please why did you link to this thread? This is not for the faint hearted. Shock

what is the donald duck thing about?

ShatnersBassoon · 05/09/2014 17:29

Donald doesn't wear trews or undertrews, just a sailor shirt. It's adorable on a cartoon duck with no visible wanger.

My husband is an actual nevernude.

Is that an actual thing? I thought it was made up fro Arrested Development.

lordnoobson · 05/09/2014 18:06

your h is gopping op

( thanks for DD expl)

MySpideySenseTickles · 05/09/2014 18:06

My Dh was always naked, then we had to move in with sil when I was pregnant, he kept shorts on then but when they were out it was straight off with the shorts, once he fell asleep on the sofa (our own we had seperate rooms) naked and sil came home to find her brother spread eagled baked across the sofa snoring his head off. She said it was a good job she was already gay because that would've finished her off lol. He wore shorts after that and now we're living alone he is back to being naked but only after ds I in bed, he never wears a shirt in the house but shorts during the day as ds points and laughs at his willy and it was giving him a complex!

DarkBlueEyes · 05/09/2014 18:07

Tell him if he ever wants sex again he needs to put it away. Familiarity breeds contempt.

Fullpleatherjacket · 05/09/2014 18:22

This thread has reminded me of the episode of Cold Feet where Pete is caught naked sofa sitting although from memory it's even worse because it's someone else's house Shock

Never realised it was an actual thing Grin

The term never nude was made up for arrested development. Gymnophobia is a real condition though

FryOneFatManic · 05/09/2014 19:03

I once knitted dp a willy warmer as a joke.........

I'm crap at knitting and it was about 2 sizes too big Grin

FoxSticks · 05/09/2014 19:53

*Glittering, free-swinging balls

On special occasions, OP could get him to hang off the light fittings and rotate slowly.*

One of the funniest things I've read on here Grin

SignYourNameInBrownAndFlame · 05/09/2014 19:59

There once was a man who went nude
Regardless of when he had last pooed
His bollocks swung free
It put his wife off her tea
But on Mumsnet hilarity ensued

Floggingmolly · 05/09/2014 20:02

He prides himself on his meticulously clean arsehole? Dear God...

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/09/2014 20:05

I have never heard a bum hole be referred as a starfish before.

SignYourNameInBrownAndFlame · 05/09/2014 20:07

Chocolate starfish to be precise, Alis.

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/09/2014 20:09

You are a terrible person Sign

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 05/09/2014 20:11

Have we had "rusty sherriff's badge" yet?

This thread has made me feel so much better about being single - men are disgusting! No sweaty manbums on my furniture thank you very much. What would the female equivalent of freebollocking be? Freeflangeing? Freemingeing?

NoArmaniNoPunani · 05/09/2014 21:11

There is a free flow period movement.

lavenderhoney · 05/09/2014 21:11

Op, interesting he is now wearing briefs:) have you asked him why?:)

I have heard the term chocolate starfish before and it took me ages to work out what was meant by this. At first I thought it was a type of sweet or cocktail, if I had had dc at the time, I would have assumed it was one of the lesser known octonaughts.

Then after more debauched talk, I realised belatedly that it meant something entirely different:)
