My boyfriend wears his best friend’s underwear all the time

r/

I am a 28F and dating a 25M. We took a week long trip with friends to the beach in Florida in February. We were eating breakfast one morning and my boyfriend mentioned he did not pack enough underwear for the trip and he was on his last clean pair. I told him I was going to Target and I’d get him some and his best friend says, “I always pack extra, I’ll let you borrow a few of mine,” and my boyfriend said, “Thanks bro.” I thought they were joking until his friend went upstairs and returned a few minutes later with three pairs of boxer briefs.

I guess that must be a guy thing, because when I made a face and said it was nasty they share underwear all the guys shrugged and said, “as long as they were clean.”

So my boyfriend for as long as I’ve been with him has worn the cheapest plaid boxer shorts from like fruit of the loom. But the three pairs of boxer briefs his friend let him borrow, were from American Eagle and Calvin Klein. He never gave them back and he wears them all the time now. Even when his own underwear is clean.

His best friend was coming last week to help my boyfriend move some old furniture out of the garage. I mentioned to my boyfriend I washed the underwear he let him borrow when I did laundry and put them on the sofa for his best friend to get when he comes over and my boyfriend said, “why’d you do that? I want to keep those!” and he went to the sofa, picked them up and put them in his drawer.

Isn’t it weird he would wear his underwear and continue to do so, even when his own are clean? I even went to American Eagle and got a three pack of boxer briefs and he wears them, but will also still wear his friends underwear.

    I guess it’s alittle but I don’t really see the big deal he should just buy underwear of that brand for himself but I doubt the friend wants the underwear back at this point 😂

    As a guy, this definitely isn’t a common thing we do.

    I think you are overthinking unless there are other behavioral issues that show a pattern? I have my best friend’s shirt I never returned from 10 years ago at this point. It is super comfy. I also have a knife from a close friend I never returned because well he forgot after moving out and I never offered it back.

    It’s not as gross as if it were females sharing undies.

    I don’t think the first part is a big deal but him wanting it more is a weird hill to die on
