Conflict with Wife Over Underwear Laundry
"She Doesn't Wash Panties, Just Hangs Them... Wears Them Inside Out the Next Day"
Netizens Shocked: "Hygiene Awareness Is Serious"
A story has emerged about a man who caused conflict with his wife due to his habit of wearing underwear inside out without washing it.
On the 22nd, a post by a public servant named Mr. A was uploaded to the workplace community 'Blind,' stating that he had a quarrel with his wife over underwear laundry. Mr. A said, "Since I was young, I have worn my underwear about 3 to 4 times before washing it. This does not mean I wear the same underwear for 3 to 4 days," adding, "I have about three pairs of underwear; one is an emergency spare when laundry is done, and I usually rotate between two pairs."
He continued, "I wear one pair for a day and hang it on the drying rack, then wear another pair the next day," explaining, "The following day, I wear the pair that was dried two days ago inside out. I repeat this the next day as well. This way, there is absolutely no smell." He said, "Recently, my wife bought me about 10 pairs of underwear as a set. When I asked her why she bought so many, I explained my usual underwear-wearing pattern, and she was shocked and overreacted," expressing his displeasure. He added, "I told her that quite a few men do this, but she got upset and said no one does that," showing his frustration. Furthermore, he explained, "We've been married for almost a year, and she didn't know about this because there was no smell," but "my wife refused to accept it and only made excuses. Aren't there quite a few people like me?" he lamented.
Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as "That's really disgusting," "What are you doing, cultivating bacteria or something," "Why would you hang worn underwear to dry without washing it," and "This is not normal hygiene."
Meanwhile, according to court rulings, simple differences in consumption habits or hygiene standards between spouses are not grounds for divorce in court. However, if one spouse forces their standards on the other and causes severe mental distress, divorce litigation may be possible by providing evidence of such distress.
