So this conflict came up recently because I (24F) moved in with my boyfriend (25M). The issue is that he has started walking around his home and spending most of his days completely bottomless, bird bird out with just his shirt on. He calls this “Winnie the Poohing”.
He told me he started it during work from home because he thought it was funny to be on Zoom and just not have pants on.
I’ll be honest it makes me a little uncomfortable for him to just constantly have his bird out in front of me so I have requested he just wear boxers at least.
He thinks I’m trying to be too controlling and that I should appreciate his body. However, it just feels kind of unsanitary and weirdly dangerous (he was cooking with oil and a drop of oil spat out of the pan and landed on his bird).
Am I weird for not wanting to constantly look at my boyfriend’s bird.
Here are what netizens think:
- Is he being funny? No. Clever? No. Respecting your boundaries and comfort? Absolutely not. Is there any good reason he shouldn’t stop immediately? No. Do I admire his unwavering commitment to the stupidest bit of all time? Undeniably.
- Tbh “Winnie the Poohing” is a pretty hilarious term for this.. but yeah, after the 2nd day I would just not want his “”bare back” on the shared furniture ..every. Single. Day.
- I’ve always called it ‘Donald Ducking’
- I think this is a good moment to point out that even Donald Duck wraps a towel around his waist when he steps out of the shower! Not sure why…
- i always referred to it as “the cartoon bear.” i had a whole little dance and everything. my gf at the time playfully hated it.
