Dealing with Spouse/Significant Other

Hello guys. So, I've got some questions. I've been a nudist for a pretty long time now and have enjoyed hanging out nude at home with friends, going to nude campgrounds (both gay and mainstream), going to nude beaches, and just generally enjoying being nude whenever I can. My husband has absolutely no problem being nude at home and, in fact, would probably pretty much prefer to stay naked at home. While he has gone to Haulover Beach with me he will not join me when I go to the gay campground or to the local resort which is more mainstream/mixed. I've gone to these places with friends but during a recent conversation he said he doesn't like that I go with them. He has it in his mind that "something" could happen. It couldn't, it hasn't, and it won't, but he can't seem to get that out of his head. Part of this, I think, is my fault because when I told him about our visit to Roseland Resort in West Virginia I mentioned their barn which is a place where adult activities can occur. Neither myself nor the friends I went with went to the barn, we had no intention to, but it does exist and when recapping our trip I told him about it. Besides that there's nothing that I've told him about any of our trips that would be risque or otherwise inappropriate. I've asked him to just go with me - no friends - to one of these places so he can get comfortable with them and he refuses to do so. I don't want to stop going and, in fact, I won't stop going even if it causes an argument but I'd prefer if he would just come along.

So...any thoughts, feedback, or ideas? Have you had a similar situation?

Jealousy is a spice. Use it sparingly. He obviously thinks the world of you and doesn't want to leave you.

BTW I was that jealous guy but 27 years later, I'm good.

is there a reason why he won't go? Self image? Misconceived thought of competition for your attention? Reason I ask is because those are topics that can be addressed. My husband travels a lot and visits nude places. I admit I was "nervous", but it really does come down to trust. With him being a home nudist have you ever brought the gathering to the home front? Maybe getting him used to others outside the usual friends can help to put him at ease. Just some ideas,

I occasionally enjoy the music of Cher but I don't want to go to one of her concerts. Spouses occasionally do activities with their partners because they like to see them happy, but it may not be fun for both. Accept that social nudity may not be all that fun for him. Just like standing too close to some Diet Coke soaked lump of fried butter screaming in an octave bats would find shrill is no fun for me.

My partner is comfortable being nude but believes that men only get nude together for sex. He knows I'm a nudist and accepts it but makes jokes when I'm nude so I tend not to be around him. I find it frustrating but I also respect how he feels. Relationships are about compromise .

ausfarmlad, that's terrible! Why do you think he makes jokes?
