Does spouse know or do you do on side?
Return to DiscussionsWhile my wife is not interested in nudism, she is comfortable and supportive of my desire to be naked. It wasnt easy though as I was only naked around the house when she was out. I took a very incremental approach starting with sleeping nude. Next, I started swimming my laps without my suit. Finally, I really opened the door one day with approaching her about my desire to live naked. Surprisingly. she told me that she is not comfortable with it but I should go for it. I decided that I would respect her approval by not being naked all the time. She now jokes about it wondering why Im dressed or when am I going to get undressed. She left the other day reminding me to be careful as she was expected several deliveries! Gotta to love her attitude!

Similar to my progression except swimming in the evening lead to sleeping instead of the other way around.
My wife often changes into her pajamas early in the evening. One of my lines when I was starting to spend more time nude at home was when she was changing into her pajamas, I would say that since she was in her sleepwear I might as well be in my and take off everything but my wedding ring. It has also gotten to the point in our house that in warm weather, if I stay dressed for more than a few minutes when I get home, my wife will ask if I am planning to go out again soon.
My wife knows but I honestly dont think she knows the extent of my nudism. She knows I enjoy being nude but for instance she doesnt knowing run nude every morning. I am hell bent on running naked every morning now. It seems wrong to even where clothes when Im out jogging.

My wife is fine with me being nude in the house and inside the privacy fence when it is just the 2 of us, and also OK with me swimming and sunning nude when our adult son who lives with us is in the house. While she is aware that I "sometimes" go to a nude beach, I don't think she knows it is actually "usually"
Actually since I posted this 5 years ago, I have been to a clothing required beach in NJ once, and that was 4 years ago when I went with my sister. I do go to clothed beaches when traveling, but usually wear a tan through swim brief to keep the clothing to a minimum.

Does she know that you are running every morning but not that you are running nude?
Update: My coming out to my wife about my desire to enjoy nudism was very incremental. Sleeping nude, swimming my laps naked, staying naked after showering and finally a long talk have brought wonderful results. She is supportive of my desire to be naked as much or as little as I desire around the house. I try not to overdue it as its still relatively new to her considering our 45+ years together. Although she told me to go for it when social nudity was brought up, I sense that she would be uncomfortable with me going to a nudist park. She has no desire to join me in living naked but has made my life happier especially in knowing that she accepts me as I am.
My wife is also not a nudist, but overtime has gotten comfortable with me being nude. When we moved to Texas and our neighborhood was in early development, I was able to run nude in the morning and it was great! She wasn't aware of that, but over the year she became more acceptable of my home nudity. She kind of freaked out when I did my first public nude 5k, but after talking about it she now encourages me to go and enjoy these social nude events. I don't think I'll be able to get her to go with me, but will keep trying. As our kids our grown and out of the house, I'm nude most of the time and lucky to be able to work a few WFH days nude. Most of the homes in Texas have little privacy, but I've found a way to be nude around our pool and my wife questions when I have a swimsuit on (HA).
