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?

LOL just told DH about this.

His eyes have been opened and he has attempted a pantless sit on the edge of our bed. Lasted all of two seconds and claims your DH must be 'fucking weird'.

I've also tried a pantless sit. Not enjoyable at all.

I believe that people at nudist colonies use a small towel to sit on as a courtesy as they move around- it's nudist etiquette.

Brilliant thread, my poor 39 weeks pregnant pelvic floor can't handle it!

JuniorMumber · 03/09/2014 22:45

Mama - I too have tried the pantless sit and it isn't relaxing at all.

I don't even like watching the nudists doing that massive bike ride through London with their undercarriages squelching on the seats of the Boris bikes. I always hope they give it a once over with a baby wipe afterwards.

What do ye do if someone calls round unexpectedly?

"You paint a picture with a word"- HOWLING Grin

Tell him to put clothes on, or buy you a new sofa.

Then print the hilarious sofa as pants post from above as a reason if you need too.

Honestly, it's just grim. You think he'd stop if you explained the libido situation but I'd try the above first.

bananaleaf · 03/09/2014 22:55

Oh dear! I have an image of a toddler on beach

Grin That ^^ and sofa pants

Crying with laughter here!

sweetnessandlite · 03/09/2014 22:56

...even the cleanest guy has effluent coming from his undercarriage- drops of urine after the loo, sweat from his balls and crackpit. Jobbie juice when he farts, the odd bit of follow through.

Combust - you have a lovely way of putting things! My husband wants to know what's so funny! Grin

jobbie juice that's a new one

combust22 · 03/09/2014 22:59

Thanks sweetness.

JuniorMumber · 03/09/2014 23:00

Comedancing: he hot foots it into the bedroom and gets something to cover up his nethers.

Thanks for all the feedback. Not one person has defended his right to use our sofa as 'a massive pair of underpants', so I now feel ratified to insist that he stops doing it. He will invariably make out that I am being uptight when I mention it, and I will badly want to mention that Mumsnetters back me up - but of course he will be deeply unimpressed if he finds out I posted this thread.

I hope it isn't a white sofa, that would really show up the skid marks!

Tipsykisses · 03/09/2014 23:02

OMG crying laughing at these comments GrinGrinGrin

" sitting around with his cock out "
GrinGrinGrin

Are you the poster who ate her Dp's
Wholenut ???

Seriously though skiddy man bums should NOT be on sofas that new babies go on to be fed !!

HowToSaveALife · 03/09/2014 23:03

I think, after 8 years, this would be one of the only hobbies that would make me leave DP. Ignoring anything cheating or illegal.

Its just horrid. Does it stick when he sweats? Eurgh.

I kind of hope I don't know you. I'm not sitting on anyone's sofa again!

sweetnessandlite · 03/09/2014 23:05

I'm curious as to why he keeps his t-shirt on?

Milmingebag · 03/09/2014 23:05

Fuck me I would be STEAM cleaning the furniture. Beyond grim.
I mean...tag nuts

leedy · 03/09/2014 23:06

also weeping with laughter at "using your lounge as a big pair of pants"

Have just told DP about this and he has asked if I would disapprove if he also started "wearing room pants".

crazylady321 · 03/09/2014 23:06

Sorry this is too funny!!

DorisIsALittleBitPartial · 03/09/2014 23:07

My ex wore a t-shirt and nothing else in bed, he'd get up in the morning swinging free. Good luck with your post partum libido, I didn't have to worry about that but it certainly didn't do much for me OP. But at least he didn't skid sit on the sofa till he'd got dressed.

ShatnersBassoon · 03/09/2014 23:08

Does he keep his socks on? Or slippers in winter?

JuniorMumber · 03/09/2014 23:08

Sweetness, I've never understood why he keeps a t shirt on.

PacificDogwood · 03/09/2014 23:08

Do I really have to link to the recent fart thread? Really?!

Everytime he pumps tiny poo particles cover everything.

Baby or no baby - get him to put some kecks on, for the love of god, woman!

Are other people expected to sit where he may have sat?

HowToSaveALife · 03/09/2014 23:10

Please say he has his own seat.

And it's marked out with Do Not Cross tape or something, so nobody goes too close.

Bulbasaur · 03/09/2014 23:11

Really, why not just go naked? A Tshirt and no pants just looks so ridiculous. Grin
