Husband Flips Out At Pregnant Wife For Borrowing His Underwear, Wife Left Confused About What’s The Real Reason

Recently, a 28-year-old woman who is 7-8 months pregnant turned to the AITA subreddit to find out whether she was wrong to borrow her husband’s underwear.

In a post that has since been upvoted 13.9k times, the author StealerOfUnderwear wrote: “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.” Moreover, after a while, she started getting a rash in the places where it was too tight, which may be the result of friction.

So one day, as the author was getting dressed, the idea came to her mind. “I figured I’d try on a pair of my husband’s (29m) boxers,” she recounted. As innocent as it may sound, this later caused quite a conflict between the two because, well… apparently not all boxers are equally fine to borrow.

After upsetting her husband, a pregnant woman wonders if it was okay to borrow his underwear since it’s much more comfortable

There’s no doubt that comfort is key during pregnancy. No wonder some women may find it when trying on their partner’s male underwear. But most women opt for specially designed maternity underwear that is designed to fit their growing bump, to stay in place better and make them feel more comfortable than standard underwear. With extra weight and increased hormones, many moms-to-be find that cotton underwear is more breathable; that includes organic cotton, bamboo and other soft-to-touch fibers and their blends.

The author also got involved in a discussion among the commentators

Let's have a kid. Mom gives her body for the cause and gives up a lot for the cause, resulting in the worst pain of her life. Husband only has to share clothes to make her pain go away. That's it. He can't handle it. WTF is wrong with people??? I wish she could trade places with that a-hole.

After reading the whole thing, I'm astounded to learn that husband's baseline reason is that HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO LAUNDRY so he's worried that he'll run out of clean underwear if his wife wears his. I'm just going to step away from the computer now and scream into the sky over this grown-a*s man not wanting to do his own laundry while his wife is pregnant with HIS CHILD.

When I was pregnant 20 years ago so many of my pre-pregnancy clothes didn't fit. My husband happily shared with me. Boxer briefs were a revelation in comfortable underwear. The boxer briefs they make for women don't come close in comfort levels especially in the heat of summer. We have different brands so boxer briefs are not mixed up. As for their appeal, my husband believes a comfy wife is a sexy wife.
