To think its disgusting that dh used my towel

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?

You are being ridiculous focussing on the towel. The towel is an irrelevance. Focus on the rest of it - it's quite bad enough. Gross.

I was going to say YABU, are people really that territorial over towels, but then I read about the actual shit stains he kindly left behind. Envy

Tell that revolting man to learn how to wash his bloody arsehole.

Vom.

This in spades. That will teach me to judge before reading!!!

My ex would blow his nose into towels, he was a certain white powder addict and there was literally NOSE CARTILAGE in the towel. I couldn’t cope with this either OP😅

bloody hell!

what state is his nose currently in?

People have their own towels?????

He probably put it in the washing basket because he realised he got it dirty.

hopelessreminders · 24/10/2023 11:02

I think OP means he is washing with the towel? Not drying himself with it? Still gross though, at least rinse it out!

He does the same with his own towel. I don't do his washing anymore. And there is certainly no sex.

Sharing a towel, fine. Once you've shared bodily fluids, how squeamish can you be. Poo staining someone's towel though, not fine!

FrancisFriedFish · 24/10/2023 11:00

Now that is definitely grim. The towel is not the issue. The fact that he can't wipe or wash his arse is the issue. Presumably you have sex with him ? Really grim.

MrsJPinkman · 24/10/2023 10:58

I don't understand how there's shit on the towel?

EmmaDilemma5 · 24/10/2023 10:57

Does he not know how to wash himself? I'm guessing he used it after a shower? How disgusting!

10/10 for grossness.

It's these things that really affect relationships imo. How can you keep respect for a man who doesn't know how to wash his own arse?! 🤢

KohlaParasaurus · 24/10/2023 10:57

This could fall anywhere between, "You could at least have bought him a nice fluffy towel when you bought yourself one," and, "He's asserting his authority by shitting on your special towel, this is probably the tip of an iceberg of abuse, LTB."

Hmmm

Quite

FrenchandSaunders · 24/10/2023 10:57

Did he shower? Why isn't he washing properly! So many questions OP ....

AnaisMae · 24/10/2023 10:56

It wouldnt bother me that he's used my towel, it would bother me that he can't wipe his arse properly and had left shit on any towel. That's vile.

RoyalImpatience · 24/10/2023 10:56

Op I was going to berate you for being petty.

However with a man like that I Csnt see why you purchased a special towel and why you did not want him to use it.

Ifyoulikealotofchocolateonyourbiscuit · 24/10/2023 10:55

He left shit on your towel?! How is he not capable of cleaning himself? That’s disgusting

Thegirlfromredfern · 24/10/2023 10:54

Hmmm

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?

KombuchaKalling · 24/10/2023 10:53

🤮 l think you have bigger problems than the towel. Why can’t he wipe his bum? Why can’t he wash his bum?

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 24/10/2023 10:53

If he left his shit on ANY towel, I’d be ghost. That’s just nasty.

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.

Upbroom · 24/10/2023 10:50

By evidently do you mean shit or something? Because being that dirty after ‘washing’ would be a bigger issue for me than using the towel

Was just about to say this. How can you have shit to scrub onto a towel if you're fresh from a shower. Ick!
