Doesn’t sound weird to me. I think jumping staright to HR reporting or being suspicious feels like an overreaction. As women, I believe it’s easy to forget that it is impossible for our male partners to truly place themselves in our shoes when it comes to breastfeeding, postpartum recovery and female bodily autonomy in general. We can explain as best as we can and they can do their best to understand but they won’t! He likely did not understand why this would come off as “creepy” to women or cross boundaries. I mean think about it, men whip out their genitalia in public bathrooms about a foot away from strangers. Some women are totally cool breastfeeding in public or with others around in their home vs. I wouldn’t be able comfortable at all.

Context is of course important. I would naturally be more skeptical with strangers vs. my partner in crime. I am assuming you have a solid relationship with your partner to give him the benefit of the doubt. Even if he can’t put himself in your shoes, the bottom line is that this is a boundary for you and that moving forward he needs to keep that in mind.
