A woman has been warned to watch out as her husband is showing 'controlling behaviour' - by telling her she should be naked when sleeping next to him.
Taking to Mumsnet, the unnamed woman explained that her husband always slept in the nude and he expected her to do the same, but it made her feel uncomfortable.
She said she would oblige from time to time to keep him happy, but she would rather sleep in pyjamas - especially in winter.
Now he's pressing the issue and the woman has taken to the internet for advice, and she's been told to be on guard as others thought the man's behaviour was a huge red flag.
Sharing her story anonymously, the woman said: "He says it makes couples closer and he really feels uncomfortable lying next to me when he’s naked and I have PJs on - he says it feels like I’m putting barriers up.
"At first I did just to please him but sometimes, especially in winter, I want to wear pyjamas.
"He says he needs to cuddle up to someone, it’s important to him and he can’t cuddle up to me when I have PJs on - is he being unreasonable?”
The woman went on to say that when she wears pyjamas to bed, her husband will get dressed and sleep in their child's room instead.
After sharing her story, other Mumsnet users were quick to offer advice to the woman - saying that her husband was in the wrong.
One said: "You can wear what you want in bed."
Then a second wrote: "Strange controlling behaviour - but very strange that he has taken to sleeping in your son’s bed because he doesn’t get what he needs from you. Co-sleeping with children is about the child’s needs, not the adult’s."
And a third added: "He is being completely unreasonable! Did he need a naked woman in his bed in order to sleep when he was single? You’re not a bloody teddy bear."
