Is it wrong that my boyfriend sleeps next to his daughter in boxers?

My daughter sneaked in to my bed in the middle of the night and cuddles up to me ??? You clearly don’t have kids so I’m sure it’s hard to understand but that’s his child… he is her protector if a partner of mine ever sexualised me and my daughter they would be out on there ass. If this is the road you want to take then what about sons cuddling up to there mothers ? As long as he doesn’t have any sort of background in that sort of activity then the accusation is disgusting

Shame on you for sexualizing the bond they have! You need help if a man sleeping in boxers next to his own daughter triggers you so much. Unless you have proof he’s doing something sexual then you need to get help for real before you start putting stuff like that onto a little girl! Here’s a link I think you should read and if there’s any real issues you need to call the police not Facebook Warning Signs for Young Children | RAINN

Or… Are you jealous and upset, that the daughter is sleeping in the bed when over, and cuddled with her dad? And you’re then not able to be cuddled up to your boyfriend when she’s visiting? Some women are like this also.

No I mean my s/o and both my kids do cuddle it’s his child it’s not weird unless they make it weird I did it with my dad also and I was fone

If you are only seeing this ONE act as a problem, it’s NOT them, it’s YOU!

IF, there are other things going on, that may be cause for concern, that would warrant being concerned and raising those flags into existence for others to see!

If something happened to you as a child or younger person, YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT!

I was sexually assaulted for years as a child. I still KNOW that NOT EVERY MAN is like that.

It is NORMAL for fathers to cuddle their daughters and other children in comfortable settings(that includes clothes)

If there is more going on, your cause for concern is obviously justified. If not, GET HELP FOR YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY!!

Me and my dad shared a bed till I was about 12 (because he had a 1 bedroom apartment for a while and I outgrew my own little bed). My would always say its weird we shared his bed. He never cuddled up to me. Just his hand in my arm and not for long. Like your really reaching here. There’s nothing wrong with a father and daughter with a bond.

Sounds like jealousy to me. I experienced the same as a kid. She would throw a temper tantrum anytime I slept with Dad. I’m 39 and remember clearly.

Nobody wants to sleep with pants or pj pants on. At least i know i dont.
I like sleeping in just my shirt and underwear.
And so does my husband.
The fact that your mind automatically goes to that being gross is weird.
You’re making him out to be a pervert.
It’s not weird.
Sounds like you need to work on yourself and the way you think.

Wow! Shame on you. You will understand when you have kids. They need safety and security and the only place they can get that is from their parents. You’re toxic and he has every right to be upset with you for your assumptions. Go heal and then maybe you can love someone else.

It is a catch 22…on one hand it should be a pure thing for them to sleep together. However, you are feeling something about it and his reaction of telling you to leave is over the top. I would be more concerned with the way he is treating you and the message that is sending the children.

When I was a kid my dad slept in underwear not even boxers and that made me uncomfortable but I had been sexually abused by someone else so maybe that’s why I felt like that. But what I’m getting at is as long as she feels comfortable don’t be concerned. As a mom tho with baby daddy I just make sure he’s aware I don’t want her to think it’s okay for anyone other than dad to be as “exposed”, I make sure I teach her boundaries n she lets us know if she’s uncomfortable. She dosen’t like me walking around in underwear she’ll tell me to put on pant n I respect that. She’s 4

Why are you accusing him of anything weird? If you trust him, trust him. If you think he is a chimo, turn him in.

I’ve been through this with my ex. It is very uncomfortable when you had been touched at a young age. I made the mistake of having cps involved when I shouldn’t have. Just explain to him WHY it makes you uncomfortable. The fact that he has outbursts about it when mentioned is kinda worrisome though if you ask me.

Yall dont know if she has trauma from being assaulted young that causes her to feel uncomfortable with emotional intimacy like thAt?…. She aint fucked up for being concerned. U cant trust people with kids now a days not even their dads/moms. But drop it until u witness a actual inappropriate situation or the daughter tells u she’s uncomfortable with it. U are sexualizing the situation in a inappropriate manner but who knows what u went thru to make u hyper vigilant toward that interaction. If it bothers u too much u shouldnt be with someone with children that is true bcuz it may be too triggering for u or ur traumas bcuz it is normal for parents to be seen naked, in underwear, undressed to some degree they live with the children 24/7 so it’s inevitable that the babies will see u exposed at some point.

Boxers are basically shorts so I see nothing wrong with it. As for his “outburst” I’d be pissed someone was accusing me of something like that as well, until you have real proof of anything keep your mouth shut or leave.

Sorry, but he has every right to be upset with you. Not only are you trying to tell him what he can and can’t do with his daughter, but you’re sexualising something so normal. You are definitely the issue. Tables turned and it was a mum with her son, you probably wouldn’t bat an eye. It’s his child, not yours. Let the man do what he wants.

Your past traumas don’t need to be projected. I get it. I really do. His reaction was out of line. Yes, he’s going to be angry that you could be suggesting something strange, but he should have talked to you about why you feel that it’s odd. Throwing you out of the house you help pay for isn’t cool either. I’d just go to a different Room. It’s something that makes you uncomfortable.

You can’t handle he has a child with someone else then you have no business being with him. :woman_shrugging:

If he was sleeping nude it would be an issue, but as long as he is covered and not wearing super loose boxers, I don’t see the issue. Boxers aren’t really much different than shorts.

Beep beep beep , red flag. Even if nothing is going on, don’t make it look like it is. This is inappropriate. My ex tried that with our daughter, later she and my son spoke out. He had molested them. He may not be but the appearance of it is bad, Very bad

You’re making an issue where there isn’t one HOWEVER, the fact that he tells you to leave the house you’re helping pay for, that’s ridiculous and you need to tell him to grow up. If that’s how he handles disagreements, you may want to move on

I think you’re seriously reaching. If he was naked then yeah… but he has clothes on and there is nothing wrong with a parent cuddling their child. Is it just because it’s “boxers” I mean if he had shorts on what would you gripe abou then. I think you’re being a little jealous and just need to quit finding reasons to get upset about.

If you don’t like how he raises his kids, go date someone else. You don’t walk into an established family (which they are) and try to change things. Either assimilate or move on imo. Also, the boxers thing is a non issue imo. Is he doing other things that you feel are inappropriate? Or is it just that?

He’s not the Man For You if you can’t express how Something makes you feel Uncomfortable & He doesn’t listen and gets Mad & Yells at you to Leave.
I totally get what your saying and where your coming from…" It’s about being Respectful & forming boundaries ( My husband & alot of Other Men would Cover-Up & wear Pajama pants at least…Not just boxes where body parts can Easily be exposed)

Others are judging you too harshly instead of trying to See where your coming from. There are a few of us who get it without it being called Sexualized…It called being Respectful of others when you dress a certain way & Not over Exposing your body It’s called covering up Appropriately ( like shorts too short in public or See through Clothes)

He’s not the Man for You Run, Run!!!

I dont know why everyone is getting mad. You asked a question. Its normal love. I know with 2022 and everything being censored and sexualized, it’s hard to know what’s crossing the line these days and whats not. Come to understand that dads sleeping with their littles in shorts or boxers are normal. The way he speaks to you and his outburts over you just being worried about the safety of the child isn’t okay. There are different ways he could approach you.

I have 6 of my own aged 18 to 4.

They crawl into your bed in the middle of the night sometimes & all I’m wearing is a sports bra & undies because this is FNQ, Australia (still winter lol).

Parents sleep with their children, it’s a comfort thing!
I’m guessing (probably rightly so) that you don’t have any children…

So you’ve basically called your boyfriend a paedophile and you’re upset he’s angry and telling you to leave? You’re probably making him feel awkward about it when there is nothing untoward about it.

Thats his child its ok for women to do it but not men!! In this day men feel uncomfortable around kids anyhow but to suggest its weird for a daughter to want to be close to their dad is ridiculous, unless there is signs of abuse which there is rare cases, a dad should be able to comfort a child! I know my ex shared a bed with my eldest who is 9 as shortage of beds the one night and i didnt think it was weird and she said it was nice to be able to be by her dad as misses it x

My husband sleeps next to our 4 year old son in boxers…. And I sleep with our son too. Tf is the difference and why would you sexualize his relationship with his own child when they have a normal healthy relationship? Because YOU are uncomfortable? If so then you should leave. Because you are not the one. It’s not your job to judge. You are just a girlfriend. Go sleep on the couch or leave because you’re sick in the head for even thinking that.

The fact that youre pretty much implying to your partner that his behavior is pedophilia behavior toward his child and now youre a victim because hes not nice to you about the accusation pretty much tells me everything i need to know about you.

I think you are the issue or you are allowing something from your past childhood to interfere here. There are many parents not even there to put their child to sleep at all!

There are many parents who do this very same thing and you throwing accusations at this man he has every right to be upset. I would be too!
