Husband called my new slippers 'you've let yourself go' slippers.

[Candathon]

I brought some new slippers recently - nice sheepskin ones from John Lewis which I thought looked nice.

I wore them yesterday evening after a hot bath. My husband looked at them, laughed, and in a semi-joking way said they should be called 'you've let yourself go' slippers.

Could anyone recommend some comfy slippers that look like they could be shoes, and cover the whole foot (so not ballet pumps)?

These are the slippers I was wearing: https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-sheepskin-cropped-slipper-boots-light-grey/p110970563?size=3&s_ppc=2dx92700078342469774_brand_mixed_BAU&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=CjwKCAjw15eqBhBZEiwAbDomEq9KvjXLORj9mTAJxXNnTZXnnoku3kAj4oSrHkGtNOHWGnWqXz3ZHBoCFdcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Clearly my husband finds them very unsexy.

Would be interested to know people's thoughts on wearing slippers generally.

The slippers aren't the issue.

Do you feel you should be sexy for him, rather than being comfortable? Or is he he one pushing mandatory sexiness?

😂😂😂😂😂 sorry but yep your old man’s hit the nail squarely on the head they’re one step away from pat butchers boots 😂😂😂

It’s a passive aggressive remark aimed to subtly undermine. I am not surprised you missed it.

Was it a joke ?

said light heartedly ? Obviously hit a nerve for you to come on here and ask strangers rather than a friend etc or even ask him if he’s serious and why he thinks they make you less attractive ?

I agree with your husband sorry!

When my Nan was about 65 her sister in law bought her some slipper boots for Christmas - they were awful and we all laughed when she put them on. Her pixie boots.

They remind me of them!

My sister in law was a gorge 5.8 queen when married bro in law … he’s shorter than her and not v attractive

over the years he’s got her to leave her job , two kids close together , be full time cater for his dad and speaks to her like shit

I can see he did it very slowly over the years also tell her not to dye her hair wear make up and calls her fat

you see before she had her power and the upper hand so he he took it all away and made himself superior … interesting

Slippers have never been sexy, OP. James Bond was never seen ripping the slippers off his latest conquet, was he? Having said that, in my opinion, your slippers have a whiff of eau de nursing home....
I hate the look of slippers, so mine look like boots and I tuck my skinny jeans into them. (Thank you, M and S)

No slippers are sexy. My partner takes the piss out of mine! I don’t care what he thinks about them. If it was up to men we’d be tottering around in heels 👠 doing crap around the house. Ask him to buy you another pair for Christmas 😂

If he thinks slippers have to be sexy, I’d be worried he was using them as a fleecey substitute while you were out. It looks as though he has made merry in his for years.

Yes wear the bloody slippers

☹️

That style of slippers are actually really trendy and hot right now 😂 check out the Ugg slippers. They’re the It slipper for the season!

These are similar to the Ugg ones that everyone is wearing so they are very on trend!!!

I linked to my slippers earlier on the thread. As a result of this thread I asked him what he thought of the his reply was that.they were slippers and looked like warm slippers. No mention of lettin myself go

I hadn't realised there was such as thing as an attractive slipper, they are look a bit crap, but as long as they are comfy, that's what ,alters surely? I did have a pair of these

But burnt the bloody sole. That said my only prerequisite now is that they don't flipping stink because they are cheap synthetic wool interior!

I wear my summer sandals as slippers in winter. They are not warm on top but keep my feet off the cold floor and look nice.

A good husband would find his wife sexy in anything she chose to wear.

Quite. ⬆️

😂

I must admit they are not my taste.

but the day a man tells me what to wear according to whether he finds it sexy or not, will be a cold cold day in hell.

60 quid on a pair of slippers?!

There is no such thing as a sexy slipper that gives proper coverage. Slippers are for warmth and comfort, not nights of seduction.

Obviously leave the bastard. Trade him in for a long dressing gown to go with your let yourself go slippers. Joking obviously.
