[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure this is a sensitive topic, but what the hell.

Both my wife and I are in good shape physically. We both work hard and have two kids in elementary school.  But since she started working from home back when COVID started, she has never not worn sweatpants or pajamas. This has started to annoy me, perhaps unreasonably. Last week I asked "Hey, how about we dress up a little bit and go on a date?" The answer was like nope, I want to be comfortable, only wearing sweatpants. Am I being ridiculous that this is starting to piss me off?  [/quote]

Is she hot?  If so, then don't worry about it.  My wife wears sweat pants all the time, but as soon as the kids are out of the house for school, we slide them off, and then who cares what she had been wearing?[/quote]

Yes, she is pretty hot without really trying. We both exercise a lot. We both work demanding jobs. It is just that since COVID happened, my wife went from low maintenance to a bit slovenly. This is obviously not the biggest problem in the world or in a marriage, but it is starting to annoy me because I have always liked dressing up once in a while. It breaks up the routine, and it is one of the reasons I went back to the office as soon as I could.[/quote]

Yeah, I think you are going to have to let the sweatpants during WFH go. You're going to the office, so dress up and go.

The night out thing is different. I think it's fine and probably good to have a conversation, but I also think you may need to be a little understanding - some people have fundamentally changed during the pandemic. I can't WFH and was out of my office on medical leave from like March to June 2020. I found that I didn't miss work, like at all, and that I'd much rather be chilling at home, taking care of stuff, being home for the kids. I have found that getting dressed up to go out is not something I really like doing anymore. But if my husband sat me down and said he'd really like to start going out again and he wanted to spend time alone with me I would get it together and gladly go.[/quote]
