Woman Took Revenge When Husband Asked Her To Put More Effort Into Her Looks

Lifestyle July, 10, 2025

All one has to go out for is grocery shopping or keep the garbage bags out. Work is being done from home and mostly in pajamas. Most of the people have even stopped dressing up for online work from home meetings and have found a new normal in the comfortable pajama look. One woman was committed to her stay at home look until her husband had some opinion on it.

She began her side of the story and wrote: “As of lately, I’ve been working from home and as a result I don’t wear makeup or do my hair and just chill around in my pjs all day.” She further explained “My husband is also working from home and he likes to dress up how he would if he was actually going to work. I however find it pointless. Recently he’s been complaining about my lack of effort and keeps suggesting that I wear makeup and dress up and do my hair and stop looking messy all the time.”

She felt that her husband’s comment was rude and unasked for. She took the matter in her hands and took the things a notch higher. She has stopped making any other efforts she was making to look earlier. She shared “I don’t wear makeup and I don’t dress up and he continues to throw hints like buying me a new dress as a gift.”

AITA for purposely looking messy and unkept to piss off my husband? from AmItheAsshole

She has one question from her readers that what she did is right or wrong. The readers have a mixed opinion on the whole thing. One person commented: “This is the lowest form of pettiness, that doesn’t actually affect him at all. She’s having showers and keeping up with general hygiene, so it’s not like she’s rubbing b.o armpits in his face. She just doesn’t want to dress up and waste the time and energy on how she looks, and him commenting on it is unnecessarily rude.”

The person further continued and wrote: “Doing your makeup and hair is such and effort and for what? she’s comfortable and happy she will be more productive.”

But some others had something else in their minds. One person wrote: “Communicate instead of being passive aggressive. I understand, I have a petty streak myself, but this breakdown in communication is dangerous territory to stay in. I hope y’all can reach an understanding, or agree to disagree but quit with the passive aggressiveness.”

Everyone is trying to keep up with the changes in their way. Everyone is trying to find a new normal. The family members and friends if you cannot help should at least leave one be.
