Man asks wife to dress up, gets locked out of bedroom

In this post, a married man questions whether he’s the a**hole for asking his wife of six years to dress up, as she did before the pandemic. The wife, who now works from home, has been dressing down and stopped shaving altogether. When the husband suggested they go on a date to an upscale restaurant, the wife declined and suggested a casual dining spot instead, citing her lack of desire to shave her legs. The husband lashed out, and the wife locked herself in their bedroom. The post raises questions about the impact of the pandemic on personal grooming and how couples should communicate their expectations for each other’s appearance.
