Query: Ours was an arranged marriage and we eventually fell deeply in love with each other and I have nothing much to complain about except for one issue. My husband likes to sleep naked and it feels weird. Not only that, it gets embarrassing in the morning when the maid comes. Once, the maid refused to go inside the room and that was very embarrassing for me. I have tried to explain this so many times but he brushes it off saying he can’t sleep with his clothes on. Please help, it is becoming a huge issue.
Response by Jaanvi Mahajan: Sleeping naked is indeed a good idea if we go by studies and reports of letting our body breathe at night but in India, with a maid coming every morning, it is not advised unless you can shift to another room which you lock from inside. It is inappropriate by all means for the maid and your wife too finds it difficult when the maid tells her that it is bothering her. If anything goes wrong, you must understand the maid can even report you for misconduct. If you genuinely have a skin issue and it has become a habit then it is best that you wake up early and move to another room which can be cleaned by you later. You have to find middle ground for it.
