Partner tells me to wash hands after sexual activity before dinner, he doesn't even give me a chance, but he says it just as were just about to eat?

Is this normal or is he doing it because he has noticed I haven't made an effort to do it straight after sex, because who the hell does that instantly? :/ 🤔 but he says it just as were about to go into kitchen, do you guys think it's innocent and does this happen to anyone else?

  • Seems like he’s just getting on your nerves. It can be pretty annoying if one partner is constantly watching what the other does in order to instruct/correct them. Classic mansplaining/wifesplaining.

    Before and right after my wife had the baby and I had a few months home with her (i worked for the university which had finished the semester, and I was essentially waiting for my first year of medical school to start). At times when we had nothing to do but be together, my sweet nesting wife became incredibly particular about pretty much everything and dove deep into a wifesplaining behavior that made neither of us happy. It eventually damaged my self esteem because I started to feel incapable of very common tasks that could always be done better. Eventually we came up with a rule that if something has very small consequences (which route I take home, the order that I clean the bathroom, how I arrange pillows, whether I use soap on dishes before the dishwasher) then she just doesn’t say anything. If there’s something I almost never do the way she likes it, she just does that chore and I do something else (folding her clothes). And like you said, taking a moment to give me a chance to think my way into completing that task on my own before jumping to tell me to do it.

    at the same time, sometimes she just has to tell me things. Sometimes I do need to be reminded. I pretty quickly think of ways to defend myself when she does it, but I have to think about whether I would have remembered or done it right had she said nothing. I have some pretty funny stories involved in this. But it’s mostly because I get embarrassed, which has to do with pride. And that’s on me.

    I suggest you shake it off as much as you can if it’s a rare thing he does, because it just doesn’t matter and isn’t worth messing with the relationship over. If it’s a lot and it damages your feelings towards each other, you can come up with a rule like we have. It seems to help a lot.

  • Our sex fluids although is edible, do have a strong pungent when dry.

    Personally, my concern is not about eating it but about it on furniture, particularly hard to wash sofa.

    The stain and smell may last for days.

    Hence I usually wash up after sex, doesn't matter going for food or not thereafter.

    And my Opinion is, you're over reacting. Some guys just like it clean, especially during meals.

    Hence just wash up, which I think is a good habit to cultivate.

  • Personally I consider it to be perfectly normal to either shower, or at least wash after having intercourse, especially if going to the kitchen or sitting down to eat.

    • Thank you for the MHGirl.

  • It is normal. Maybe he is more particular about cleanliness

  • Yeah I wash up at very least after sex, if I'm not having a shower. I'd certainly wash before going in the kitchen, unless the kitchen is where we had sex lol

  • Seems pretty normal

  • You should always wash your hands before eating, has nothing to do with whether you just had sex or not.

  • Lol. Just wash your hands. I'm sure he can wait half a minute to start the meal. You're overthinking it.

  • I don't see anything wrong with that.
