AIBU to ask DH to wear underpants?

[JuniorMumber]

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?

Basically he is using your lounge and sofa as a big pair of pants. Lovely.

Actual lol at this

Am wondering about the logistics of mealtimes. What does he do if you are eating on your laps on the sofa? OTOH, sitting formally at a dinner table without kecks would be even odder. If you order pizza, are his pubes full of crumbs afterwards?

So many questions...

Archery

Wahahahahaha

A sleepy aardvark?!? Possibly the best description ever!!! This particular 'issue' isn't one I've experienced however my husb does have the occasional penchant for dropping trews and giving me a windmill show?!? Why I hear you ask?!? Apparently 'why not?!' does make me laugh though

BTW OP, DH sort of likes doing this. We bought him a couple of nice cotton kurtas and now he puts them on if he wants to free-bollock about the house. Problem solved

Here you go OP

OTheHugeManatee - that is genius! Would a kurta be a compromise if your DH is really against pants?

If that's too restrictive maybe you could customise it into a peephole version so he can still get his tallywhacker out but there's no danger of crack debris.

Crack debris
Tallywhacker

That just makes me think of this:

It must look horrendous, not to mention the hygiene aspect of it. Tell him to put some bloody pants on!

I like the idea of the kurta, but if I'm going to customise that for him (so his tallywhacker is exposed), I could just cut the crotch out of the front of his briefs?

I suppose that only solves the 'crack-on-sofa' issue and not the aesthetic one.

The kiltstool is hilarious

Thing is OP, I think your DH would be more likely to go for a kurta than customised pants. If he's anything like my DH the point of freebollocking is the pleasure of feeling the wind whistling round your wedding veg, and any introduction of snug-fitting cloth in that region (exposed tallywhacker or no) would probably result in the solution being rejected.

The kurta, on the other hand, allows the free movement of air (and tallywhacker) while protecting the soft furnishings from poo crumbs and sparing his nearest and dearest from the sight of Chicken Licken and Turkey Lurkey.

I would find it very off putting, settling down of an evening to watch The great British bake off, only to feel the one eyed man staring out at me from DH's groin.

It would be like the elephant (trunk) in the room. Just always there, watching...waiting!

Tell him to get some pants on and keep his bum juice to himself!

How about a sarong for him op? Knackers free to the breeze but you sofa is then safe! Can't guarantee he isn't still going to look silly then, but not quite so toddleresque!

I think there's a space in Classics reserved for this thread.....

Waiting with bated breath and voyeuristic horror for the next instalment!

What about some men's harem pants. Some of the uber trendy ones gave the crotch practically mid-calf, so he could still 'hang loose' which hanging out (or vice-versa) Snort!

I broached the subject when he first got comfortable enough to start doing it in the flat after we got together. I tried to embarrass him into wearing pants by laughing at him, but he wasn't phased. He says this is how he has always relaxed in the evening.

I'm trying to imagine how he first revealed (haha) this unpleasant habit to you? Did he just wander into the room, bollocks swinging free below his hem, or did he warn you first? Please do share.

Does anyone remember the DH that used to dry himself all over with a hairdresser? Could be MrJuniorMumber's brother?

A hairdryer not hairdresser!

My DH wanders around with just a T-shirt on, tackle dangling below although tends to put on pyjama trousers now DS is older.

He likes to completely take off his trousers & boxers at home when he goes to the loo in the en-suite. Often he wanders around the bedroom halfway through to get his laptop then goes back to sit down for bloody AGES

Once I found a little turd on the bedroom carpet

My DH has once or twice come out of the bedroom in just a t-shirt, to ask me where his pants are (in the clean laundry pile you haven't put away all week, darling)

I pointed and laughed so hard I don't think he'd dare try it as a casual look

WitchWay

That is horrific!

I do remember that freaky thread about the hairdryer, hadn't his dad done it for him when he was a baby, and then he'd just continued doing it himself?
