While you can't frolic down the grocery store aisle without any clothes on, the way you dress inside your own home is completely up to you.
If you're more comfortable lounging after work in a sweater and three layers of sweatpants while your partner likes to cook in nothing but underwear, it shouldn't matter what your chosen household uniforms are as long as the neighbors aren't getting a nightly show. If the way your partner dresses (or doesn't dress) inside the house makes you uncomfortable, perhaps it's time to have a deeper discussion about your compatibility aside from the fact that they prefer to wear cat ears at the dinner table.
So, when a confused and conflicted man decided to consult the online courtroom of moral philosophy about whether not he was wrong to ask his nudist girlfriend to cover up for their dog, people were eager to chime in.
AITA for being uncomfortable with my gf being naked around her dog?
My (33M) girlfriend (30) hates clothes. To the point where she has actively researched nudists colonies and if it wasn't for having to occasionally go into the office, she would have moved there long before she met me. So, she's always naked around the house. Which, for me? It's hella nice. She's got a rockin' bod.
The issue is her two-year-old dog. The dog is a super cute and fluffy great pyrenees, very will trained, 10/10 a good girl. My gf was there when her friend brought the heavily pregnant mom home from the pound, was there at the birth, and fell in love Immediately. She sees that dog as the closest thing she'll ever have to a kid due to medical issues.
However, my gf is just always naked at home. Playing with the dog? Naked. Cuddling on the couch? Naked. She keeps a slip dress by the door for walks, but otherwise, naked.
And it's weird, right? I tried to be subtle, but finally the other day I sat down with her and pointed out that yes, she's trained the dog to not sniff human butts, but it's still like something out of an illegal adult movie for her to be naked with an animal all the time.
Wow, she got pissed, and asked me to leave. I tried to talk sense into her, but she wasn't listening to it. I finally left her house, and once I got back to my apartment I tried texting one of her friends, but she blew up at me saying I was an a*s. My gf is now radio silence. Am I the as*hole here?
Here's what the jury of internet strangers had to say:
YTA (You're the As*hole). You made a very strange comment implying some inappropriate relationship with a dog. Just...sit with that for a bit. You doubled down instead of apologizing. She didn't need it explained to her. She's not dumb. She disagrees with your opinion. She kicked you out. You, instead of accepting she didn't want to talk to you, messaged a friend to try to get access to her. Creepy, dude. That's creepy. Yes, YTA. - US_Justice_Apartment
You know the dog is naked too, right? YTA - Ngin3
WOW. Imagine telling the entire internet that you're so fragile and insecure that you're jealous of a dog...Yep. YTA - TheLinguistalRooster
Dogs are naked all the time, they don't care if we're naked or fully clothed. It makes 0 difference to them - Aniu0324
YTA. Threatened by a pet, lmao. - NSA-Surveillance-Van
So, there you have it!
Everyone was in full agreement that this man is 100% in the wrong here, not only for making his girlfriend uncomfortable with his weird implications, but also for asking her to change the way she relaxes in her own home. Good luck, everyone!
