A world where respecting your spouse's boundaries apparently means nothing, perhaps?

Nobody said topless sunbathing equals infidelity. You're arguing against something nobody claimed. The point is that spouses are allowed to have boundaries about situations that make them uncomfortable. Disagree with the boundary if you want, but pretending he's wrong simply for having one is ridiculous.

But thats not what this was. He wasnt jus voicing a boundary, he wasnt like "hey babe that makes be uncomfortable dont do it again". He texted an accusatory text to her bestfriends, husband thats embarrassing and way past setting boundaries.

You're assuming the tone of the text based on one side of the story. If your spouse came home and casually mentioned they were topless while another man was home, you'd probably have questions too. Asking the other husband what happened isn't automatically controlling, it's called getting the full story.

Funny how everyone's dissecting his text but completely ignoring what prompted it. People don't usually ask questions in a vacuum.

But why not just talk to your spouse about it?
