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

He gets mad because you’re suggesting him cuddling his child makes him a paedophile. If you knew him well enough you’d know that he’s just a Dad doing Dad stuff.

Oof… my husband is currently sleeping next to my 5 year old the exact way you described. Guess I need me a new man who’s not a good daddy.

Question, if It was a mom snuggling her 5 year old in a sports bra and shorts, would it be this big of an issue???

No???

Why are you making a big deal out of nothing? There’s nothing wrong with wearing his underwear to sleep in. He’s not naked.

Pack your things and Leave Today. You are insinuating that he’s being perverted. Just for thinking that way you are creating a uncomfortable environment not only for him but for the child. People run around beaches and Walmart with less clothing. United States is the only country that vilifies the human body, from being to Fat or To skinny, to sleeping in an innocent manner with children. Everyone has the right to an opinion that doesn’t mean your opinion is the right one.

It’s not weird. Our kids used to climb into bed with us. My husband sleeps in boxers. There’s nothing bad going on. I would be mad at you too.

I mean would you rather him not be involved with his child? YOURE sexualizing him sleeping beside his daughter. Would it be different if he had shorts on? It’s his child. If he chooses to sleep next to her in boxer SHORTS, then he chooses too. The ONLY one making this weird is YOU.

next thing you’ll be complaining about is he walks around topless infront of his daughter.

Unless you have a reason to be accusing him of being sexual to his child, id keep my opinions to myself.

I sleep naked with my daughter. My husband sleeps in his underwear. When my daughter is not feeling well me and her still do skin to skin except me and her are completely naked. Ur making something very sexual for someone so young. They don’t understand sex at this age. She wants comfort from her daddy.

Jesus christ he’s her father ur the one the perverted mind I know things like that do happen to children but if I thought that my fella was like that me or the child wudent be anywhere near him I wudent blame him shouting at you your basically calling him a child molester

What the FU*K IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH YOU? Sexualizing something so innocent. Jealous ? Sounds like he doesn’t need you.

He has probably slept like that with her since a baby and sees nothing wrong with it.
He probably gets angry because you make him feel like you think he is attracted to his child and that insults him.
Has he acted inappropriately that you know of or is it just he sleeps in his boxers.

You’re projecting your trauma onto him and his children. Id be mad as well. There isn’t anything wrong with what he’s doing and you probably should get some therapy for whatever issues trigger that response in you.

Just from what you said there is nothing wrong with this at all. Just because he is a father doesn’t mean that he can’t cuddle with his child, or that him sleeping in boxers is somehow wrong. You are projecting and sexualizing something that isn’t sexual.
Children can cuddle with Both mother and father.

If it bothers you that much, with an hint of jealousy leave. I would be pissed as well if a person I was with started accusing me of being a pedophile simply because I cuddles with my children.

I get where hes coming from because you’re making a non problematic situation into a pretty actually very very serious problem, And it sounds like you’re accusing him without saying it, In my opinion it’s perfectly harmless it’s his child and that’s how he sleeps, and the direction You are mistaking it for is not OK if you keep carrying on about it I guarantee it’ll be the demise of your relationship,…

You’ve only been dating 1 year, he has a daughter 5 years. A parent should cosleep or cuddle to comfort children. It’s not sexual if you were a parent you would know that. You are the one making it out to be that way. If you had that feeling that something was off then maybe, but this seems completely normal for a loving parent child relationship. Parents cuddle their kids it’s how to show them safety, loving and comfort. Stop sexualizing everything.

Parents have been sleeping next to their children for centuries in far less clothing than this. As a SA survivor I understand things may be a red flag other people typically wouldn’t pick up on, but the situation you described should not be one of them. Unless you are leaving out gaps of information I think you need to ask yourself why you feel this way. Your SO’s reaction is justified.

Girl bye. You’re sexualizing shit that doesn’t need to be. I’d be asking you to leave too!

Go by your gut feeling. If you don’t like it, he should respect your feelings. It could become more, I’ve seen it happen. Sad situation. Is the mother around?? Ask her why they are not together. Act before it drives you out of your mind.

I sleep in my underwear and a t shirt with my 9 year old son… it’s your kids and they’re not seeing anything inappropriate they’re just cuddling with their parents now if he was naked that would be another story or if he slept fully clothed except for when his daughter was there or something but I’m betting he sleeps in his boxers every night

The problem is, some mothers have turned it into something wrong to fight in court. A child can be ask questions in different ways to give different answers. Don’t give the ammo to anyone. For everyone, spend the waking hours together but sleep in the grownup bed

I don’t really see anything wrong with it they are just short it’s not like he is sleeping naked next to her. The ridiculous thing is is if this was a woman sleeping in a nightgown next to her son nobody would bat an eye. It’s no different than if he was wearing gym shorts or something

My husband will not sleep in boxers with our daughters. Not to mention sometimes men get woodys for no reason in the middle of the night so some pj pants or shorts wouldn’t hurt him. He should be glad that you care enough for his daughter to say something. The fact that he gets that angry says red flag to me!

Tell him to control his temper and talk like a mature person. It’s making you uncomfortable and he should acknowldge it. “Just a boxer” meaning No shirt on? I wouldn’t feel comfortable either esp I am not the mom. Tell him to put a shirt on coz kids remembers. And girrlll, take a video just in case he denies you lyin.

Are you seeing signs of something going on at other times? If not, it’s just you. There’s nothing wrong with it.
Has something happened to you that is making this uncomfortable for you? If so you need to voice that to your bf, but understand he is not at fault and shouldn’t have to change, but rather you get some therapy and he support so yall can work through this.
If that’s not the case and this is just you, he has every right to get upset. You are making a negative environment in his household with his kids. If you feel that way, that’s ok. You are free to your opinion but perhaps you should go find someone who has no children to be with.

My father Never walked around in his boxers in front of his children ! If any of us climbed in bed to watch TV or talk there was mom and dad ( no boxes) and when we were going to sleep we went to our own beds. How does the mother of the child feel about it?

She’s asking for advice not for everyone to come and condemn her for saying something!!! Jeez!!
You should say what bothers you even if there’s nothing wrong that’s what a communication is for he shouldn’t be getting upset… maybe a sit down between the both of you when kids aren’t there. It could very well be nothing but it’ll give you more peace of mind.

Are you concerned for or jealous of his child?? Pretty serious accusations for a guy who you say cuddles with his daughter all night… there is nothing inappropriate otherwise going on, correct?
Do you engage his kids when they come? Or are you looking for reasons to get upset with them? are you exhibiting jealousy so he doesn’t want you to say anything around them because your trying to sabotage his healthy relationship with his daughter?
My suggestion is you get into therapy asap…

If you get upset over him telling you to leave a house you are paying for also, stop paying for it. Honestly I wouldn’t suggest dating him if you find his way of parenting uncomfortable. I would say that if he isn’t taking your concern seriously without an outburst you should find someone else.
If you are ACTUALLY jealous (how some of these people are assuming) then date someone without kids.
