My husband and I usually go hiking with his friends on weekends when the weather is nice. Last weekend we went hiking on a new trail and came across a small lake after a few hours of hiking. This trail was a loop so we were maybe a mile or two from our car. One of his friends suggests we take a break and hop in the water. Everyone agrees.

The two friends shed their shirt and shorts and jump in. As I’m getting ready to take my shirt off my husband stops me and says I gotta just sit on the side because it would be inappropriate for me to go in. I tell him that is ridiculous. He says he doesn’t want his friends seeing me nude.

I tell him to stop being ridiculous and quickly strip down and hop in. He comes in shortly after but hardly says anything and I can tell he’s upset. We swim for maybe 30 min. Dry off get dressed and go eat. And now he’s being all “I can’t believe you did that” and “You gave my friends a show”. It’s been a few days now and he’s wanting me to apologize. But, I think he should be the one to apologize. It was a quick brief moment they saw my complete body and no one cares. They were very mature, it was not even acknowledged verbally.

Was I the asshole here? I just wanted to swim with everyone else. I’m in Cali. We have nude beaches (I’ve never been) and hot springs where people are generally nude or topless (I’ve been prior to my husband). Additionally, in the past I’ve done skinny dipping with friends, both male and female. So I didn’t think it was a “big deal”. He was actually in a similar situation where he was with swimming with a female topless and I did not care at all.
