he had constant bed wetting issues until he was well into his teens.

Unfortunately he neglected to tell me this and thought a stream of piss down my back while sleeping was the best way to communicate.

Discovered one of my ex's lost his virginity to a prostitute and then embarked on a part-time 2 year 'schooling' from her, including group sex and dubious clubs.

Explained quite a lot.

That he had a longterm relationship when much younger with a woman who later became a high-profile politician’s wife, and he was tracked down and dogged by tabloid journalists as a ‘former boyfriend of X’, years later when the political marriage hit the headlines for scandalous reasons.

He came into the supermarket that he didn’t know I worked at (only one date)...with his girlfriend, who was heavily pregnant with their fourth child! I hadnt planned to contact him again but I deleted his number after that.

After asking me to marry him I found out he was already married to someone else
Packed his shit up and snipped all the wires inside his games console 😈

He liked masturbating with a plastic bag over his head to cut off his air supply - enhances orgasm, apparently.

Tried to get me to try it while having sex - I declined.

Years later, & long after we split up, he was found dead in a hotel room with a bag over his head, tackle everywhere.

Silly sod.

That he had been in residential psychiatric care for over a year when he was 12.
I don't know why. A year is a very long time. Often wondered about it as that relationship ended very badly and he changed into an utter psychopath.

I learned he actually owned the house he used to share with his other "housemates". He put it across as though he was poor and they all shared to keep costs down. I still didn't cotton on he was selling it after we started decorating his bedroom and then dumping me when it was done.

He was raped as a child by his step brother. Also saw his mum being raped by step dad. Naturally he had massive issues.
