Things that made your ex unattractive

[FuckingFabulous]

I'm not talking about the "s/he was a cheat/abuser/criminal/gaslighter" type stuff, because that is entirely understandable and totally deserves its own thread for all survivors of that fuckery. I'm talking about the small stuff that made you look at them like, "You're grim."

-My ex didn't brush his teeth every day. At one point, I put paste on his brush and it was there and dried on 9 days later. Ew, do not even attempt to kiss me.

-He also pronounced the emergency medical response vehicle as "Ambliance." Cringe, cold chills, skin prickling.

• if he'd been outside doing ANYTHING, even talking to a neighbour, when he came back in he would look at me with an expression of devastated, dead on his feet exhaustion and just say, "Coffee" in a really croaky voice.

ex 1 - stinking feet that he refused to wash, and then his genuine bewilderment when I refused to have sex with him because of said feet-actually there were loads more reasons but I like to be succinct-
ex 2 - showing off when out in public, and not only everyone thinking he was a twat, but everyone seeing that I was with him

1st ex: gross kisses, his slurpy tongue going round and round in my mouth like a washing machine (shudder), thought he was of a superior intellect, rude and sarcastic, possibly on the spectrum

2nd ex: another one who thought he was of a superior intellect, talked absolute bollocks in the pub, believed in too many conspiracy theories, read the Mail "to be on top of the enemy", yeah right.

3rd ex: vain and wore pointy shoes

4th ex: obsessed with his ex

He had no interest in appearance - I'm not a fashionista but he would wear clothes fit only for a compost bin.

He was obsessed with boats and bikes.

His personal hygiene was so bad the back of his neck turned grey.

Mean with money, mean with love. We went on ONE date I payed for. He never did reciprocate - not even buy me a drink gratis - always split the bill.

In denial about comfort eating to the point that by the time I dumped him he had bigger tits than me!

You guys all need to read the 'penetration man' thread if you want a laugh

Laughing at his own stupid jokes as if he's fucking funny.

Nope, you're just knob.

He used to shit (violently) with the bathroom door wide open.

Worked a manual job and would go three or four days without showering or changing underwear

Would eat a rank takeaway then come to bed with kebab breath and expect sex

Men can just fuck off.

Oh, and he used to grunt, "I love you" once he ejaculated.

Farted loudly.
Didnt know how to wipe his arse.

He makes my skin crawl now.

His character

Claimed to be Irish. Described himself as Irish loudly and repeatedly. Harped on about the big Irish catholic family he had. Insisted on changing his name from a common spelling to a Gaelic spelling to reflect his Irish heritage.

He had only been to Ireland once, for 2 days, on a stag do. He wasn’t born in Ireland. His father wasn’t born in Ireland. His granddad was actually born in Ireland, but was 7 years old when he moved to the UK.

Every night he'd sit and drink bottles of Peroni, eat bags of crisps (then if I ever asked him to cook for us he'd refuse and say "not hungry") and dump the rubbish on the floor next to the sofa alongside the stinking crusty socks he'd worn all day at work. Not once would he ever put them in the bin, even when I asked. So the next morning, which often started before 6.00am when my daughter was small, I'd have to come downstairs balancing a baby on my chest making multiple trips from the lounge to the kitchen to clear up his manchild droppings.

This was how I started my day, every single day. You don't realise at the time but that kind of shit wears you down in a very subtle way. Divorce should be through in a couple of months now. Life is infinitely better.

An arrogant, vegetable-hating, right-winger who believed himself to be intelligent (he isn't).

There was a LOT, but the day he came in the bathroom and took a shit while I was in the bath was the final straw (and it was actually less grim than some of his other behaviour!)

I had an ex who 'didnae like meat or vegetables’ WTF did he eat then? I found out when I went to his house and saw empty cans of ravioli in the kitchen with the fork still in place 😲 He was weird with food and weird with sex.

I am literally trying to hold in laughing at so many of these posts (my baby is asleep and don't want to wake him), but my gosh I'm dying here!!

This was cathartic until I accidently deleted my post.

My ex was 'in a band'. He was extra confident with little talent. He would monopolise the karaoke as he loved the attention. Countless times people complained to me about him - I was so ashamed to admit he was my partner.

He was also good looking but very vain. Constantly posing for selfies or admiring himself in the mirror, pulling faces or practising his stances. If he'd have put the same amount into practised his singing then he'd have been great.

He was so arrogantly confident and acted as if he knew everything. He doesn't realise he is talking crap and many people pick up on it and are embarrassed on his behalf.

God these are AWFUL.
Sadly I’ve got so many I hardly know where to start.
I particularly hate any kind of ‘babyish’ behaviour in men (which they think is cute) so that’s always a cue to kick them into touch.

The constant drinking cans of cider. I would be woken in the night to him opening another can 🤮
I managed to get him stop smoking in bed. That was awful.
He was a soap dodger too. Next to no teeth.
Wtf was I think??
Thank fuck we didn't have any kids. Oh yeah, we'd have had to have sex for that.....

He would shower and put the same boxers back on.

He used to fart in my face and laugh.
He let his dog lick the plate.

Another one that never brushed his teeth 🤢 thought a swig of mouthwash would do the job. IT DID FUCKING NOT! Couldn't keep a job, had a serious weed addiction, barely changed his clothes. I left him for 5 days once (before I left for good) returned to the house to find he hadn't washed any dishes while I had been away, including the cat food bowl which now had maggots in as it was during a very hot summer. The smell was foul! Honestly don't know why I went back to him then!

Never flushed the chain after a wee and used to mutter “if it’s yellow…” as if I was the weirdo for wanting a clean toilet. Saw himself as some kind of local celebrity after being in the paper a few times. Didn’t own any clothes that weren’t sports gear - except for a terribly fitting suit that he thought he looked fab in.

I actually shudder when I think of him now. What was I doing?

He thought it was weird that his mum as sister wanted to be my friend. He thought that girlfriends and family shouldn’t be close, which was very odd.

Was his name Steve? I had a similar ex who would swagger around in the same embarrassing manner, thought he was a rockstar.

I'm afraid to ask, but did the sex involve ravioli?
