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?

It will be a very interesting few evenings to come, checking out whether is glitter-balls are encased snuggly or still blowing in the breeze. What fun though, if it's been discussed where he works.

My husband is an actual nevernude. It's an affliction. But after reading this thread it shall bother me no more. It could have been so much worse.

I'm now late! However, the sniggers that this thread has given me have been worth the rush job I need to do on hair and make up!

wifeandstepmum · 05/09/2014 08:16

oh op, you are sadly for me not the only one who has to live with this. My DH does this too. Free bollocking with only tragically short t-shirts and (horror) socks on. If you find a method of fixing this terrible curse on my life and stain on my sofa do please share.
PS is it a london thing?!

'flappage and trappage' Grin Grin Grin

How can this thread still be getting funnier? How is anyone supposed to do any work?!

hormonalandneedingcheese · 05/09/2014 11:30

Erk, give the 'skidmarky boxers' thread i saw on here a while ago, I'd be dubious of your sofa OP lol!

Courtesy towel or boxers, for sure. Preferably boxers, cocks are pretty damn funny and ugly all at one, until they are erect.

PMSL at "flappage and trappage".

(and also fighting off horrifying memories of a party that ended with NAKED MEN ON A BOUNCY CASTLE)

JuniorMumber · 05/09/2014 11:53

Eastpoint. No, he never could in his flat because he had two flatmates. So you see how I was none-the-wiser until he moved in.

Looking back, I bet he couldn't wait to get his feet under the table (and his scrote on the upholstery) in my flat.

WitchWay - did you say yr chap sits in his office GUFFING about???

DogCalledRudis · 05/09/2014 12:29

Christmas baubles and blue moon... Priceless!!!

SistersOfPercy · 05/09/2014 12:35

I have a question for those bothered about 'poo crumbs'. Do you have pets? Do you have dogs and cats and if so do they sit on your sofas? Because if they do......

Just trying to imagine a thread on here where someone posts IABU to let the cat sit on the sofa and two dozen replies about crumbs.

Sallyingforth · 05/09/2014 12:37

Indeed. And many people seem to let their cats and dogs sit on their beds and pillows!

SistersOfPercy · 05/09/2014 12:58

DH doesn't sit with his bare arse on the sofa I add, though our dog does. He doesn't get to go on the beds though because unlike the leather sofas I can't wipe those down with an antibac. Blush

Gen35 · 05/09/2014 13:14

Hmm in all seriousness if I were you I'd explain it's basically like having a dog, you have to invest in a series of hideous sofa throws and explain he has to wash and change them regularly for hygiene reasons or he can wear pj bottoms. I think you shouldn't have put up with it for so long, at least dogs are cute and furry!

Beastofburden · 05/09/2014 13:28

French knickers. Or, as Christmas is coming, you could knit him a scrote-cosy with his name on, like Molly Weasley.

Beastofburden · 05/09/2014 13:29

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

pmsl Grin @ buncy caslte.

well I certainly have more than my cross to bear on DH hygiene front, but this thread makes me feel very lucky

I am not even sure I could have married such a vision, and as people said well done for making a baby with him

BornFreeButinChains · 05/09/2014 13:31

you could knit him a scrote-cosy

Really? there are knitting patterns for this stuff?

BornFreeButinChains · 05/09/2014 13:33

too much Grin, hilarious.

can you buy him a special chair and have a big sign on it when visitors come round, PLEASE DONT SIT, FREE BOLLACKER SITS HERE

BornFreeButinChains · 05/09/2014 13:35

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'

TOO MUCH Grin

Will get mine to try later and see how he gets on, or maybe its dangerous waters he may LIKE IT

Beastofburden · 05/09/2014 13:49

I feel something could be done by adapting a beanie pattern. Though OP may know different, of course....

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/09/2014 14:06

Good lord!

I can only just about cope with my DH's tendency to get undressed in the wrong order. I couldn't put up with this!

OnlyLovers · 05/09/2014 14:16

'a scrote-cosy with his name on, like Molly Weasley.'

WHAT? Who is Molly Weasley? Is that his suggested name? Or does someone called Molly Weasley already exist and does she (he?) sport a scrote-cosy?

And do I really want to know? Grin

Gilbertblythesmissus · 05/09/2014 14:44

Molly Weasley - knitter of Christmas jumpers in Harry Potter books.

I have learnt so many fantastic phrases from this thread. I am saving them up to find occasions to use them all. "free bollocking" and "penisy" are my absolute favourites.
