Am I overreacting ?
*Just a preface: my husband and I are religious and in our religion watching nudity/porn is forbidden. We are not overly orthodox but we both agree that watching porn and such in our relationship is wrong.*
Last night my husband and I were watching an episode of a show we’ve been watching, and in the previous episodes there were numerous inappropriate/sex scenes with full nudity of men and women and they were not brief scenes. As to our preference, we just skipped them, no biggie. But before I pressed play last night I just skimmed through the episode to see if there was another long inappropriate scene and there was- no problem, but now I knew ahead of time when I would need to skip. (It was an orgy type scene with multiple complete naked women seducing a man- I hear if not everyone watching with their husbands would feel the need to skip but I was glad I checked ahead of time).
Anywaysss, so we’re watching and when we get to the point of the orgy I skip to where it ended, but when I skipped I didn’t explain to my husband that I checked before hand and it was an inappropriate scene etc- so he was understandably confused bc it was right before it would have started but hadn’t started yet. He was like wth go back why’d you skip? And I was like it’s a sex scene, I checked ahead of time and just skipped it and he just like rolled his eyes and grumbled an ok sort of like he didn’t believe me or whatever, and so I said sarcastically ‘I mean, unless you’d like to see? Its literally naked women but I can rewind it back’ and he says
“I don’t need your help for seeing naked women.” 😐
Side point- I’m 6 months pregnant and obviously not feeling the sexiest in my naked body so that just made me feel so horrible and insecure suddenly.
I just rolled my eyes and pressed played for the show again but tears just sprang to my eyes (probably pregnancy hormones lol) but I can’t help but feel disrespected and he just said that sentence so easily and carelessly as if he sees naked women all the time.
AGAIN, I know some women will see no problem with that but try to understand that from our viewpoint and religious backgrounds it’s not ok and that is saved special for your wife.
I spoke to him about it and he sincerely apologized and just explained he didn’t understand why I was skipping the episode and was just annoyed but like .. no.
I keep thinking about it and I know it’s not the biggest deal, but just wondering if y’all would be upset too :(
