To want to stick his twunting hairdryer up his bottom?

Reninds me of a podcast I listened to, it was about people who are addicted to hairdryers, because its apparently a thing.

@ChocolateTeacup how is the hairdryer situation now? Did he manage to give it up?

Apocalypse and her DH sound sweet, like little monkeys grooming each other.

OP, sorry, but your husband is an arse. Hope he's apologised but I kind of doubt it.

Oh FFS. I have black mascara stains all round my cheeks. Thanks a bunch . I may have to run for a wee in a minute. ApoCheese just about finished me off entirely.

Worthy of a nomination for classics?

bumping as im still horrified!!!!!

I assume you get an equal 14 HOURS a week to sit on your arse not engaging with anyone op ?

Fuck me!!!

that is all i can think to say right now, my head just cant get round the idea

I am too. I was imagining Will Self covered in his own spray back

He didn't actually wee into a Dyson airblade. He just told people he did, and they all believed him. It proved some kind of point about the things people are willing to believe

I was disappointed

Weeing into a Dyson airblade?

What happened?

Thanks to this thread I just went off on a long Dyson Airblade googling session that ended up with me reading a Will Self article about weeing into a Dyson Airblade.

he could have no end of labels attached to him

boils down to him being a knob though really eh :)

There's seperate issues here!

Yes it does sound like he has OCD, and it can be sorted with help as stated above. Do you think he would be receptive to a conversation about it Chocolate? Because it must be costing you a FORTUNE in electricity apart from anything else, seriously!

Secondly, he can't come home and treat you like that and expect a quick excuse the next day to cut it, he must promise to never behave like that again!

Good luck!!

That would be cool - person-sized airblade built into shower door - would save drying completely.

I don't think it would satisfy the OP's H, though...

(Trillian - I would suspect OCD more from comments like "He is very obsessive, its just his way though, everything has to be just so, and he grumps if it isn't" than from the one piece of wierdness)

What adult with children and a job has two hours to spend on any sort of cleaning and beautification, let alone the ghastly hairdryer ritual? OP I would find the waste of time as intolerable as the waste of electricity. Separately, snarling at you like that is unacceptable and waking up the DCs?
He must be good at something for you to stick around.
Please, please take him camping and leave him at the top of a large mountain.

Sorry but I'm in hysterics at the idea of a man-sized airblade.

I think my very hairy bloke would love one of them

I don't think you can diagnose OCD from one piece of weird behaviour, described by someone else, on an internet forum.

OCD?

Could be-or just too spoilt & lazy to use a towel?

The man obviously suffers OCD. It is having as much a negative effect on his life as much as a real physical disability would. And it affects his family too. This is all very sad.

From NHS website:

How common is OCD?
OCD is one of the most common mental health conditions. It is estimated that up to 3 in 100 adults and up to 5 in 100 children and teenagers have OCD.

OCD usually starts in early adult life, with men tending to report earlier symptoms than women. However, OCD symptoms can begin at any time, including childhood.

The symptoms of OCD can range from mild to severe. For example, some people with OCD will spend about an hour a day engaged in obsessive compulsive thinking and behaviour. For others, the condition can completely take over their life.

Outlook
If you have OCD, seeking help is the most important thing you can do. Left untreated, the symptoms of OCD may not improve. In some cases they will get worse. Without treatment, nearly half of people with OCD still have symptoms 30 years later.

With treatment, the outlook for OCD is good. Some people will achieve a complete cure. Even if a complete cure is not achievable, treatment can reduce the severity of your symptoms and help you to achieve a good quality of life.

A form of psychotherapy, known as cognitive behavioural therapy, which includes graded exposure and response prevention, is a proven treatment with a high rate of success in OCD. This may also be combined with medication, such as antidepressants.

Let's forget the hairdryer, even without the hairdryer he is BVU

He got back late, knowing everyone was in bed, and made no attempt to be quiet, slamming doors and being generally horrible to everyone he encountered.

That is not acceptable behaviour.

Just on the cost of the hairdrying, could you get an electricity monitor? You can buy them online and it would show you the spikes and how much it is costing whilst ge had it on. I imagine he had no idea.

Can I just ask, when pictish posted this:

^The reason we started doing it in the first place is because we live in a very old stone cottage, which is fucking baltic in winter.....it came about to warm the kids up after they got out of the bath.....and they love it, so we do it now and then for a treat, and do it in the winter for the reasons above.

My husband is quite hairy, so uses the drier to speed things up.^

Was I the only one who read it as, her husband hops into the dryer after a bath?

OP, the 14 hours a day thing - ok, so he's shifted his working hours back. But that still means he gets home later, right? And then takes another hour and a half showering and drying himself. So he's spending three hours a day showering and drying. Is he interacting with his sons at all? Because in my world, once the WOHP gets home in the evening, childcare is split until the kids are in bed.

This is hilarious, nowt as strange as folk! and do not. use a bit of lube before insertion, and possibly use all 3, although, he may have concealed stock elsewhere. Does he have a particular favourite by the way? I'm looking for a hairdryer, and if your DH's alternative career is hairdryer testing, then chuck a recommendation my way, ta

Like pseudonomic, I'm amazed he has a hairdryer which will stay on for an hour without cutting out. It cannot possibly take him an hour to get dry- even if he is addicted to the drying, he also seems pretty attached to the phone- the drying time gives him an excuse to be wasting an hour faffing about.

The key issue is his lack of respect for you and the rest of the household, and his aggression towards you- I think that in relationships where there's mutual respect, partners might be cranky/overtired/grumpy with one another, but they recognise where they've been unreasonable and apologise, and try to make it better.
