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.

One bloke wore brown diamond socks & brown shoes & another wore white socks & white trainers. Fickle I know 🤷🏻

I expected someone to be properly domesticated when I was 17 and had my first real boyfriend (21 - probably a crime in MN books).

happily he was properly employed and properly domesticated!

I went for a drink with a guy who wore white jeans and he thought he looked like Justin timberlake 🤣

No second date for the guy who turned up in tracksuit bottoms and shoes 🤣 had spoken to him on the phone and loved his voice, was
mortified when he turned up!

Plucked up the (Dutch) courage to give a dishy Barman my number aged 19/20 but regretted it when I saw he had a tiny ball of snot hanging in midair of one nostril 🤣

I binned a bloke for not sticking up for me in a night club when another creepy old guy was hassling me. Dumped him for the guy who did step in and rescue me 🤣

Karma came for me once, I arranged a drink with a guy who I’d met on a night out, he turned up to my flat, said he was popping to the pub to see his mates who were there watching footie and he never came back and never replied to my msgs 🤷🏻‍♀️ I Still don’t know what I did wrong, I wonder if it’s because he was planning on showing me off to them and I wasn’t dressed to the nines, I’d just put on jeans and t shirt, trainers, natural curly hair.

Lined up three teddies on his sofa, switched on the TV and asked them what they wanted to watch while he was out. He was 35.

ToBeOrNotToBee,

😂 My coffee's just ended up on the carpet, I was laughing so much! Just priceless. But I do think you should have got the Belgian doctor to find the teeth - he was a doctor, after all, so presumably a strong stomach goes with the job?

Making cups of tea and reusing the same teabag for both cups. I’ve never seen anything like it…

Had the same surname as one of the Mister Men. Lovely chap but hated the name, then he went to my grandma’s and asked her to get me to take him back.

Omg hideous! Don’t blame you 🤣🤣

OMG! Old boyfriend at uni had a housemate whotook his GF out for ' An Italian' meal.
Deep Pan bloody Pizza.
On all you could eat buffet night too ffs
And she stayed with him!

Referred to his dick as "Boris". Occasionally attempted to engage it in conversation, as in, "Shall we go to the pub tonight, Boris?"

Put his hand over his mouth when he giggled!! Like a bloody 3yr old!!!

I had an ex get stark bollock naked in front of his mum, they had a full blown convo while he stood there naked. It was a total turn off and I was bloody mortified and left the room safe to say we didn’t last long after that.

Said he was "sitting pretty."

Tricorn hat made me laugh.

To balance it though, I wasn't sure about dh on our first dates, but if I hadn't given him a chance I'd have missed out on a wonderful man. Glad he gave me a chance too as I've no doubt got my own weird mannerisms.

As a student nurse years ago, I was on a date with one of the junior Drs who was in Obs and Gynae.
Unfortunately he seemed obsessed with his job and all his conversation centred around well, obs and gynae! On a packed tube he asked me if and when I have kids would I have a cesarean section or vaginal delivery. This was enough!

Dressed like a member of a boy band. Saw him coming towards me in a sleeveless vest and flapping linen trousers. Ugh. Nope. End of.

Ex boyfriend used to say “my mother” before telling me what his mother does for him. It was a long, sad, pathetic list.
there were many things that finished it for me, but when he said “my mother washes my hair” and “I don't want a wife, I want a mother” that was it. Now I look back and question wtf was wrong with me for dating him for 2 and a half years. There were sooo many tragic creepy things he did and said.
now married to an absolute dream husband who doesn’t need his mother to literally bathe him.

😂😂😂

I need to know which Mr Men.

Tickle? Messy? Lazy? No- Topsy-Turvy?

The first 😂

He re-washed my clean mugs!
He also kept rinsing out his mouth, in my sink!
Totally put me off.

Please tell me it was Mr Tickle 😂

I do know a woman with that surname so it’s definitely possible

ah cross post, see you already confirmed it was! Did he have extraordinarily long arms?

He wore a three piece suit to a work party. As if that wasn't bad enough he smoked a pipe that evening - and he didn't even smoke.

OP, I'm curious, was it the way he swept the floor, was it the manky brush, was it the floor.........what exactly about it put you off? I'm very intruiged!

Again, Mr rich burgundy pants man...talked about me as if I wasn't actually there in the room...
'Alltoo likes cock, doesn't she?? My cock. MY cock. MY big bendy cock'.
'Look at you lying there loving cock'
Before we slept together, he said 'next time my weapon of mass destruction will be coming out'
I once caught him rinsing the tip of it under my tap as he let out a string of farts.
Pretty much the last straw.
