Shocked by 'd'h behaviour

[chunkski]

This morning before beading off for work I was preparing tonights dinner in the slow cooker.

I asked husband to 'get it out for me' meaning the slow cooker only to turn around and see him standing with his penis poking out of his PJ's

Husband thought it was hilarious, however I was somewhat shocked. For context, he has never done anything like this before and I am frankly perplexed by it. I am not without humour, but just don't think this was funny Not quite sure why!

I have been pontificating in it all day, help me resolve it.......

I would have found this funny! Sorry OP sounds like you were tired and it caught you off guard.

poor bloke

I wouldn’t have found it funny but as a one off I wouldn’t really care either
I dint think you have been pontificating on it, at least I hope not

Funny. 🤷‍♀️

I'd have just said that he'd reminded me to get some cocktail sausages.

In the house he was trying to be funny if it was in Tesco's I'd be a little worried.

I would’ve found that really funny! 😂

Yeah I would have giggled at that, it’s just a joke between two partners, a silly one but it’s no big deal. Me and my husband in our 20s used to have a running joke that if one person went to get something from another room or have a wee, the other would remove all their clothes and be in the exact same position as when the task runner returned, always made us laugh, I mean it’s the only people you can play these daft pranks on. In company? LTB, just between you, giggle eye roll “grow up Dave” and carry on

Type of thing my DH every couple of days, I usually laugh, sometimes roll my eyes on the odd occasion it leads to a good time.

I’m easily amused though, although maybe lighten up a bit a childish joke isn’t really that bizarre even if you don’t find it funny.

I agree with a lot of the other posters - if this is someone you have a good, easy sexual relationship with, it's childish but hilarious some people would find it amusing. Your reaction suggests the shock I'd feel if it were in a public place, or if you didn't have the sort of implied ongoing consent that goes with that sort of relationship - is it very out of character, or do you generally like to keep sex very earnest? (I don't mean that in a judgey way.)

Sorry, just reread your post and you do say he hasn't done anything like it before - were you shocked because you couldn't work out why he'd suddenly manifested a hitherto unsuspected strain of naughtiness?

Definitely Lockdown syndrome and lack of sleep (I would have laughed I expect but who knows)

@Maduixa

What's the relevance to feminism of this thread?

If I was a suspicious type I'd think it was plopped here to get "proof" that we're a bunch of man-hating, humourless shrews.

Good job I'm not the suspicious type.

I'd have laughed but then me and DH are quite juvenile and do stuff like that all the time

I'd have laughed but we do stupid things like that all the time and basically turn literally anything into an innuendo.

I guess if you don't have that type of relationship normally then it's a tad strange but personally I think it's weirder to spend all day dwelling on it for a 'meaning' and posting a thread on MN about it 🤷‍♀️

I would have laughed and thought nothing of it. It's juvenile but lots of humour is

Mine does this on a regular basis- a couple of times its been a close call with someone walking into the room! I think its weird if he's never done it before and you don't usually have these sorts of jokes

I think you are being treated quite harshly in the comments op. I recently had a similar experience with my partner, we are in a jokey loving relationship but he whipped his erect dick out when I was having a bad day. I laughed out of awkwardness at the time but it made me feel quite odd and not respected. Don't let other people make you feel bad for a human reaction.

Not something I would have spent a whole day agonising over.
Whether I found it funny would depend what mood I was in.
DH would be more likely to say "what - here and now"? than actually get it out though.
