Bought myself a new bath towel recently, a lovely pink fluffy thing, a treat just for me. Dh used it this morning, stuffed it into the wash basket, and went off on his way. So I took it out to get it straight in the washing machine only to find he'd really given himself a good scrub and left the evidence behind 😠Anger level 1-10?

He made a towel dirty then put it in the wash basket. What's the issue?

Like others, I saw your thread title and op and thought, meh, you're married, share a bed, it's fine.

But what the absolute fuck?!? He got shit on it? I have NEVER, in my nearly 50 years, seen shit on a towel, or thought any adult could get shit on a towel.

That is absolutely disgusting.

Glad to hear you're on your way out.

Get apart, and then luxuriate in glorious fluffy brand new towels all to yourself.

YANBU to expect a fully grown man to use a towel without leaving shite on it. Yuck.

She said she doesn't have sex with him and he's on his way to being an ex in more than just sex.
Unsurprisingly.

BrightGreenMoonBuggy · 24/10/2023 11:58

How does a grown adult have poo on their bottom AFTER washing? Obviously he can wash the towel, the dirty fucker.

It's a damning indictment of my marriage when some responders think this thread is a wind up 😣
Nope, it really is that bad. And this is only one example.

You are being unreasonable about the towel but not about the fact he is unable to wash himself!

Evidence - yuck!!! On any towel!!

SplendidUtterly · 24/10/2023 11:56

Hmm you share a bed with this fine specimen of a man i assume so maybe you should go into the bedroom and check your bed sheets.
Good luck!!

@StoneColdAlibi literal shit.

Your issue should be that he doesn't wash properly. That's gross.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 24/10/2023 11:56

thats disgusting. But Im sure Ive read somewhere that there are certain men who think touching their own arse - like even to wipe after a crap - somehow makes them gay. I wonder if he falls into this revolting territory

I knew an elderly male relative who definitely thought that toilet paper was for girls and wimps.

His poor DIL somehow ended up with the task of doing his washing, and the regular state of his shirt tails was like Worthy Farm once everybody's gone home from Glastonbury.

SeatonCarew · 24/10/2023 11:56

@bathrobeandpie you need to read the whole thread.

Haffiana · 24/10/2023 11:55

Is this why MNers wash their towels after only one use? Because they are too skanky to actually wash themselves properly?

bathrobeandpie · 24/10/2023 11:54

Imamumgetmeoutofhere · 24/10/2023 10:54

IMO you are BU. To put it bluntly you have sex with this man. Why would using your towel, which you can wash, be an issue?

Just because I have sex with my husband doesn't mean I should be left with a wet towel because he had a shower first 😂

Use your own towel, it's basic manners towards anyone in the house, kids included.

Surely the time he should be cleaning his backside is at the time of delivery of the aforesaid stool.

Yes - it's postage and packing; both are important Grin

@FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper 😂😂😂

My son did this when he was a grotty teen with my new fluffy bath towel. Used it to clean up a Pot Noodle he had spilled on the floor of his bedroom. Just left it there until the towel actually stuck to the noodles. Disgusting ...

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 24/10/2023 11:49

Sounds like he’s asserting dominance. I recommend pissing in his sock drawer.

😂😂

On the off chance that this is a genuine thread I like this advice.

SplendidUtterly · 24/10/2023 11:49

I spat my tea out at that 😂

WaltzingWaters · 24/10/2023 11:49

StoneColdAlibi · 24/10/2023 10:53

Yeah the problem isn't using your towel per se, its that he can't wipe his arse and thinks a towel is a reasonable substitute. Grim.

This. The problem here isn’t the towel. It’s that he hasn’t learnt a skill he should have learnt when he was a toddler!
utterly grim.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 24/10/2023 11:48

Have you had sex with him?

Bit of a mess on a towel seems trivial in comparison

I don't think most couples expect smeared faeces in the aftermath to be a normal part of a regular sex session, do they?!

SeatonCarew · 24/10/2023 11:47

Surely the time he should be cleaning his backside is at the time of delivery of the aforesaid stool. not waiting till the next time he gets in the shower?

LTB. Put the grounds for separating in the divorce petition. You don't have to nowadays, but do it anyway.

Gross.

GoingDownLikeBHS · 24/10/2023 11:46

Obviously OP as you are a woman you should buy him a nice towel and do all his washing, goes without saying (although some posters have to say it).

Very glad to hear you are planning to LTB, crack on with that (no pun intended).
