What absolutely ridiculous and inconsequential things have put you off a partner?

[InstrumentsofTorture]

I don't mean completely acceptable reasons like poor hygiene, lying, flakiness etc. I mean things that the poor other person could not possibly have anticipated would mean the end of their relationship.

For me it was many years ago when I finally finally got together with a lad I'd had a crush on for about 3 years. About 2 months after we started seeing each other he invited me to his house. Which is where he committed the unforgivable sin of picking up a broom and sweeping the kitchen floor.

That was it. 3 years of obsessing over him and, just like that, a bloody sweeping brush came between us.

I was enjoying a pub lunch with a lovely good looking guy who refused to eat any chips with the slightest speck of brown on them. He pushed them to one side of his plate until there was a little pile of crispy chips that he couldn’t touch.

He had a hairy back. Shame I had to sleep with him in order to discover this. Shame, he was a nice lad, but eewwww/

I have a few. The below are all different people.

He was called Trevor (this was circa 1980 btw)
He cut up spaghetti bolognaise with a knife and fork.
He had shiny trousers (polyester).
And the very worst, he said he quite liked Toyah Wilcox.

What’s wrong with a filet o fish? That’s what they’re called.

One knocked my meal deal, including drink, on the floor wafting away a wasp

Offered me a lift home in an attempt to impress me with his fairly nice but very low car. Drove said car into a flooded bit of road. Unsurprisingly, needed some help when the car flooded. I could have dealt with that, but what put me off was him passionately blaming the council for not putting a sign up to stop him from his own stupid decision to drive through what was clearly deep water.

He was dressed as a woman - but not in an obvious drag queen way or in a sexy David Bowie way - more in a Mavis from Accounts way. His eyebrows were plucked and his face was very smooth. He was wearing a navy trouser suit but it looked like a woman’s M&S ‘workwear’ polyester suit. His shirt was more like a work blouse and he wore a belt with quite an intricate golden buckle. I have nothing against a bit of androgyny and in the ‘80s I dated more than my fair share of New Romantics with their frilly blouses and eyeliner, but Mavis was just a complete turn off.

Same here, he looked like a young viking and asked me on a date.
He too was wearing socks and sandals, I made an excuse to leave early and never went back. Unforgivable.
Another one for eating out. He spent the whole time eating in silence with a vacant and gormless expression on his face. His conversation outside of eating was perfectly acceptable.

I was 19 and in Boots with my then BF, choosing a new nail varnish. I was leaning towards a sparkly turquoise but my BF directed me to a pale, insipid peach colour. He advised me that was the shade I should choose because his mum would approve as it was a similar shade to what she wore.
I also had the audacity to leave the swimming pool with damp hair, he proceeded to tell me that his mum and (deceased) gran would not approve as only loose women went outside with wet hair 🙄
The relationship did not last much longer!

Was just thinking that show's he will pull his weight around the house.

My Mum calls it a brush and shovel 😂I grew up thinking that's what it's called so I have to really force myself to say "dustpan and brush" so people don't think I'm a total idiot.

Once dated a male nurse and his 'knowledgeable' talk about periods and sanitary towels put me right off. I mean, conversation like that, after one week?

He tasted of baked beans

😂😂😂

My lovely handsome son still likes hot chocolate as his ‘secret’ preferred drink. I’d better warn him never to order it unless he’s with family 😁

Don't mind red shoes, but Dad's Army as foreplay???😮😯😂

My ex took me to The Lake District 'up North' for a weekend break.
At Watford Gap he decided he was lost. He had been driving South the entire time, even though I had told him several times. He was a grown man! He rang my Dad for help!
He got dumped shortly after 😂😂

We were kissing (fully clothed) and he started to dry hump me and was getting more and more ‘passionate’ about it until he, well, finished! I thought surely not, but then he stood up and I saw the wet patch on his jeans!

I don’t understand this? Oh it’s ok I’ve read it properly now 😁

I think she means using her last name as a first name?

Yes, I don't get that one.

On the train to see him, five hour trip. He texts me saying he was considering making me “paster and some kind of sorce”.

The way he held his fork.

Second date. First date must've just been drinks.

He had a pet bird that was fiercely possessive (attacking people who went near him) and would masturbate on him... he saw no issue with this.

Wait you can't just leave this hanging like this...

I get the floor brushing but....

What is the special pillow, why is it in the car?
How can morris dancing possibly be a turnon? It's not like Irish line dancing or cancan is it?
