To think this is disgusting

Was in bed last night, DH visibly scratched his bum then put his hand under my nose. Immediately lost my shit and left the room. He thought he was being funny but I can't even look at him.

Aibu to think there's no coming back from this?

See, I reeeeeeeeeeally don’t understand this. 😬

I assume he was being tongue in cheek with that comment (for want of a better phrase 😂).

Obviously it's gross, but I'm not sure it warrants a LTB. For a start, can you imagine explaining the cause of your break up to people 🤣

Sorry but I am with the other posters who are finding this hilarious 🤣

It is absolutely vile and grim as, but I am led here chuckling away. Especially funny was the part where he says your bum odour fingers would get him 'aroused' 😂

See, I reeeeeeeeeeally don’t understand this. 😬

Immature and disgusting.

Dd was in year 1 when a boy offered her to smell his pencil that he put it his bottom.

Just spoke to him about it & he didn't really see what he'd done wrong, thought it was just a bit of a laugh. I asked him how he'd feel if I did the same to him and he responded 'aroused'. I give up.

Edited

Have to say OP, that actually cracked me up, that he could come back with that response, I mean it’s so immature but it made me laugh anyway!

I don’t think it’s a hill to die on either but let him know it really did gross you out. No man wants to understand his wife feels like that about him surely?

Oooooooodieeeee · 10/06/2024 06:20

23% think the op IBU!? Why? Show yourselves!!

EnthENd · 10/06/2024 05:32

Well he has a juvenile sense of humour, a shit fetish, or both. Make it clear you don’t find shit either funny or sexy.

Lifelikinotdothinki · 10/06/2024 04:07

Yes totally disgusting. 🤮

Thepossibility · 10/06/2024 04:05

This is akin to taking a shit in the bed for a laugh for me. Nearly unforgivable. Wtf.

LauderSyme · 10/06/2024 02:03

It's gross and infantile but I'm fairly sure you can come back from this if you want to, as long as you succeed in impressing upon him that it. must. never. happen. again.

The scatological theme here reminded me of a porn scene - God knows how i became aware of it - where a woman squatted on top of a glass coffee table and opened her bowels while her partner lay underneath looking up 😖

I actually vomited watching "Two girls, one cup". Funnily enough it was a MN thread that prompted me to look it up. People's sexual predilections are sometimes utterly incomprehensible.

Testing your boundaries and poop fetish..

Peonii · 10/06/2024 01:38

I hate hate hate men bashing. But the more I'm on MN, it begs the question: what is wrong with them? I can't imagine a woman ever doing anything like this.

Back21970 · 10/06/2024 01:35

How can anyone think that is funny, OMG it’s gross.

Seems like a ridiculous thing to end even a half decent relationship over but for me this would be very hard to unsee (or unsmell).

caringcarer · 10/06/2024 01:06

How disgusting. I'd tell him I don't fancy him anymore.

coxesorangepippin · 09/06/2024 23:53

What exactly does he expect to gain from doing that? How will it make him ever look good?

NoveltyCereal · 09/06/2024 23:51

It is pretty gross and absolutely heinous that he randomly subjected you to it when there is no history of this kind of behaviour between you too but nothing to lose a relationship over.

I think some of the comments about him not wiping his ass etc are a bit over the top. It can get a little wet and sweaty down there so I assume it that the scent of that as opposed to wagging a shit covered finger under your nose.

gross. just gross! When I married my husband, he was the most polite man. I had never heard him fart! and any little burp was met with an "oh excuse me" So on our wedding night he let one rip, and pulled the blankets up (dutch ovened me) and said..rings on now baby!! I told him that if he ever did that again , the ring would be off immediately. Hasn't done it since lucky for him. Idiots. Why do they find toilet humor so funny? Reality Check..it is NOT FUNNY

Sorry but I find that sort of thing funny. My husband has done it to me more than once, and I must confess I've done the same 😆😆

Justleaveitblankthen · 09/06/2024 23:40

So he doesn't even wipe his arse?
Dirty fucker. 🤢

I may not own a ballsack but I'd say I've gotten more up close and personal with one than the average heterosexual male has - the two smells are very different. I'd know the difference and I assume the OP can tell as well.

Good effort though, balls would be marginally less heinous than arsehole I suppose.

Haha, I'm bi, so have been fairly up close myself, and will happily agree that its two very different smells.

I'm just struggling to imagine a world in which any man is going to think "I know what'll get my partners motor running! Poo smell!" so wondered if maybe she recoiled quickly enough to not get a good whiff.

Bobbotgegrinch · 09/06/2024 11:37

Ok, so the "aroused" comment is making me wonder whether it was actually his bum he scratched. Are you sure about this @Bearface28?

I'm wondering if it was the underside of his ball sack. As the owner of one, they can also get a bit pungent after a long day. And if DP asked me how I'd feel if she stuck her hand down her knickers and then asked me to smell her fingers, the answer probably would be "aroused" (I'm male, I know we're a bit grim, but DP doing that would probably be the most overtly sexual thing she's ever done)

So, I'm wondering if you've mistaken ball smell for bum smell, and no one's clarified in the ensuing argument. It's a grim thing to do either way, but I can just about see why he thought it might be funny if it was balls.

Either way, he's spectacularly misjudged and it'd put me off him for a while. But throwing away what otherwise sounds like a very good relationship over it sounds a bit extreme.

Has he farted and caught it in his hand and flung it on your face yet? If not, I imagine that's a little gem you can look forward to receiving in due course..🤮

Is he 14 years old as he's acting like it...

Knitgoodwoman · 09/06/2024 22:11

How do 23% of people think this is ok?! It’s absolutely grim, his finger smelt of his ass hole… not just scratching his bum!

CutthroatDruTheViolent · 09/06/2024 22:09

You must be married to my ex boyfriend because I refuse to believe there's more than one buffoon that thinks this is a good idea.

AmelieTaylor · 09/06/2024 20:06

@Bearface28

yuck. I'd have marched him into the bathroom to 'supervise' him washing his hands properly!!
then told him never to get into bed with me again until he'd had a shower & washed his arse, then hands, thoroughly, and if he ever did anything so vile again, the next thing he'd hear from me would be a letter from the solicitor.

and to keep his hands to himself as I don't want them anywhere near me.

id have struggled not to laugh at 'aroused' though.
