    Font - r/AmIthe Asshole Posted by u/Stealer OfUnderwear 7 hours ago AITA for borrowing my husbands underwear? D So I (28f) am about 7-8 months pregnant and while I've thankfully not gained a lot of weight, my belly has grown a lot and I find that most of my underwear is too small and cuts into my sides/bottom of my belly. After a while I started getting a rash in the places where it was too tight due to friction I guess.

    Font - So one day I was getting dressed and I was getting frustrated about the rash and the underwear being too small, so I figured I'd try on a pair of my husbands (29m) boxers. They're size L and too big for me, but OMG it was the most comfortable thing I've ever tried on in my life. Breezy and loose and even the places where I had the rash didn't hurt. My husband had already left for work for the day, so I decided to just borrow them.

    Font - At the end of the day we both come home and I tell him that I borrowed his underwear and asked if it was okay to continue borrowing some until the baby comes (less than 2 months left) or at least until the rash is better. He seemed a bit weirded out but said it was okay.

    Font - Fast forward a few days and we're going to bed and he flips out at me and asks me why I'm wearing his "good" bamboo underwear. I'm confused, but he points at the band where it says bamboo. Then he goes on a long rant about how his few pairs of bamboo underwear are the comfiest and best quality etc etc (I swear this is not an ad for bamboo underwear). I apologized and said I just picked the pair off the top just like I did the other times, but he was upset and said I wasn't allowed to borr

    Font - I said I wouldn't borrow the ones that said bamboo on them since it bothered him, but he just drew a hard line saying I should go buy bigger underwear for myself and stop stealing his. Now, I'm thinking this is probably more about how he actually doesn't want me to borrow his underwear, and he's using me accidentally taking the "wrong" pair as an excuse, but I'm not sure.

    Font - While I can understand not wanting to share your underwear, I also think it's unneccesary to go out and buy a bunch of large pairs of womens underwear that will be used for maybe 2 months at most. I also think it shouldn't be that big of a deal since I'm the one who washes and folds his underwear anyway, and he has about a hundred pairs, so it's not like he'll run out of them.

    Font - And I also kinda feel like since I work full time, buy all groceries, cook and clean ON TOP OF CARRYING OUR BABY (with everything that includes such as physical changes to my body) him having to lend me his underwear is a small price to pay to help out with the pregnancy.

    Font - I also bought him 8 more pairs of bamboo underwear as an apology but he still doesn't seem to want to share his regular pairs with me. Maybe I should've been petty and bought them for myself instead. Hehe. So anyway reddit, AITA for thinking my husband should let me borrow his underwear? Or am I just entitled?

    Font - jonnyroquette 7 hr. ago Step 1. Buy bamboo underwear Step 2. Put your name on them. Step 3. When you don't need them anymore, ask your husband if he wants them. NTA, but sharing underwear is strange imo. 3.3k Reply Share

    Font - somefunmaths. 5 hr. ago Are you saying OP buying 8 more pairs of the underwear her husband likes and giving them to him as an apology, together with the feeling/hope that he lets her borrow his other unused pairs, makes her TA? But she wouldn't have been if she just kept them for herself? 687 Reply Share

    Font - NanaLeonie 7 hr. ago . Colo-rectal Surgeon [42] YTA. Buy yourself some men's boxers since they are so comfortable. Donate them or put them away with your other maternity garb after the baby comes. Your husband doesn't want to share and it's rude of you to be so insistent. 703 Reply Share

    Font - A+ mrsinger186 7 hr. ago NTA because in the grand scheme of things, this is such a small issue; but definitely buy yourself some boxers. Or take 4 pairs off the top from the ones your bought him. If my wife did this, I would just buy her some boxers. Or buy myself some new ones and give her some older ones. 610 Reply Share
