Would you LTB over this?

My husband blew his nose in a tea towel and proceded to wipe the kitchen counters with it. Would I be unreasonable to LTB? He thinks it's reasonable behaviour and cannot see a problem.

I'm gobsmacked he managed to persuade you to marry him! What did he have on you???

OP seems to stay there for the money and her child.

Legolaslady · 06/04/2026 14:42

You are with him by choice knowing what he is like.
His poor child 😞

Can't see why-watching men on public transport and in the streets, spitting, scratching their privates, picking their noses, come out of the toilet doing up their flies, never wash their hands or use tissues. Can't imagine what they are like when no one is looking. Men are just mostly really dirty. Ceases to shock me, but reminds me why i don't like most of them.

I once went to a pub with some girlfriends and we could see the door for the Gents across the lounge.
Every single guy that came out of that door was hitching, fiddling, scratching, or adjusting, his tackle in some way. Some even had damp patches on their flies !😮
It would have been hilarious if it wasn't so disgusting.

Why they could do also this rearranging inside the lavvy I have no idea. 🤔

You know what I respect the hustle and your honesty, braving a biohazard tho he better be a bloody high earner. I couldn’t deal with that for all the money in the world. Get your hazard pay girl. 😭

This has to be made up!

I've shown him this thread and he still thinks it's funny!

Its not funny, its disgusting and its massively unhygienic. I absolutely would LTB over this. I bet he thought covid was made up and hasnt washed his hands since he was made to in Nursery.

Justnetballandcoffee · 06/04/2026 11:01

I don't believe it

This is why I don't eat in other people's houses

He is a fairly high earner who hands over all the money and I was getting on a bit and couldn't be that picky.....

hahahahaha..

Is the money worth the filth and living in a constant state of disgust?

I've never really been motivated by money which is why I'm as poor as a church mouse. I'm just curious why people make these choices.

Charlize43 · 06/04/2026 10:42

So what actually attracted you to this man and why are you with him?

Were you at a very low point of self-esteem (or win him at a fairground) when you met him?

Oh, I seriously wish it was! I've put up this post so he can see how the rest of the female world views such behaviour.

Not only the female world. I am a man, and I think that is gross.

24Dogcuddler · 06/04/2026 10:46

This is really vile! I once saw someone in a staffroom take a tea towel from a hook and wipe sweat from her neck and chest and put it back.
Older, bolder me would have said something but I was new and young. Instead I put it in the wash and never used a tea towel there.
Guessing you need to buy a lot of antibacterial spray.

Legolaslady · 06/04/2026 10:43

I wouldn't even want him to touch my child.
Honestly it's so gross

Genxhausted · 06/04/2026 10:06

😂🤣.
Personal hygiene has been an issue but I don't let him near me unless he is fully abulted and smells fresh as a daisy. Refuse to share a bedroom with him, obviously, so Lord knows what he gets up to in there..

You obviously find this funny but it's totally disgusting.

grumpygrape · 06/04/2026 10:35

I haven't got my manual to hand but the t towel episode is a clear indicator of weaponised incompetence.
If you don't like what I do or how I do it, do it yourself.....and so often we do.

GreenCaterpillarOnALeaf · 06/04/2026 10:21

LTB? Release him back into the swamp you got him from. Fucking minger.

Malinia · 06/04/2026 10:21

I absolutely could not live with a man as disgusting as that.

Genxhausted · 06/04/2026 10:21

shhblackbag · 06/04/2026 10:19

Are you laughing because otherwise you'd cry? There is nothing funny about this. I hope no other people have to live with him, who don't have a choice.

Yes, that's exactly it! I can't leave him as our child is quite attached to him but I am considering a dog kennel in the garden...

Growlybear83 · 06/04/2026 10:19

Of course that’s a really disgusting thing to do, but no normal person would break up a marriage for something like that.
