To be grossed out that my husband used my exfoliating glove

First world problem alert.

I am proper pissed off, would you be???

DH went for a shower last night, and came out and said, 'feel how soft my arms are...' So I was like 'erm OK...' They were suitably soft.

Then he said 'I used your exfoliating glove!'

EWWWWWW! Was my reaction. He used to have his own and I asked him why he didn't use his own. He claimed he couldn't find it. (Couldn't be arsed to look more like!)

To me, that's like using someone's flannel, and to a lesser extent, like using their toothbrush! I am going to be wondering now if he DOES use my flannel and toothbrush, and I have horrible visions of him using my flannel to wipe his arse, and my toothbrush to scrub the loo after he's used it! Shock

I have to go get a new exfoliating glove now, and also feel the need to go buy a new flannel and toothbrush too, and keep them well hidden!

Would you be pissed off or am I just a drama queen? Grin

Crikey. I wouldn't even think to be bothered by this. Dh and I share worse than a few dead skin cells!

Rowgtfc72 · 18/02/2017 10:13

I have an exfoliating sponge. It smelt funny when I last had a shower. Dh informed me he'd cillit banged the shower with it. Turns out he's been doing it for months Grin

Trifleorbust · 18/02/2017 10:14

Couldn't care less if my DH used my flannel Hmm

ThighBrows · 18/02/2017 10:14

Have you ever put his penis in your mouth? Had each other's spit in your mouths? But skin cells are a no no😄

honeylulu · 18/02/2017 10:14

I wouldn't care. We have borrowed each other's razors, toothbrushes etc when forgotten to pack our own etc. We share bodily fluids during snogging and sex anyway.
I would piss myself laughing at the thought of my husband using an exfoliating glove though!!
Actually he did admit he used my facial sponge to clean the basin. I was a bit pissed off but only because I didn't want Cillit Bang on my face.

Ahaha cross post with Row !!

ExitStage · 18/02/2017 10:17

Hold on, it's an exfoliating glove? Hmmmm. Check his old chap. If it's super smooth he's been having an affair with your glove....... LTB!!!!

It's your DH! You share body fluids with him! Give it a bit of a douse in boiling water.

Or buy a new one! They're only cheap!

Shaistaali · 18/02/2017 10:28

Take it easy. Don't be hard on him it's not the end of the world Smile

SmartyPants0 · 18/02/2017 10:28

I think once you're in a loving consensual relationship and have shared bodily fluid pretty much anything goes... toothbrush sharing, exfoliating gloves...
You're being a drama queen

Butteredpars1ps · 18/02/2017 10:32

I can imagine DH using an exfoliating glove for some sort of DIY. He does have form. He once claimed example the formula leveller up thing to use for grouting.

What I can't imagine is him using it for it's proper purpose.

Given the places our mouths have been - someone I'm having sex with with using my exfoliating glove wouldn't even cross my radar 🤣. Mind you, they'd need to find it first - it'll be a new one in the dark depths of the bathroom cabinet.

I wouldn't routinely share a towel or toothbrush with a partner, but if one of us forgotten ours or whatever then 'meh'. It seems just a tad precious to be happy to have someone's cock in your mouth but not their toothbrush 🤣

LeopardPrintSocks1 · 18/02/2017 10:45

If you've ever licked his balls yabu

Olympiathequeen · 18/02/2017 10:45

It's a bit like a flannel and I would also feel grossed out!

RedSauce · 18/02/2017 10:48

It wouldn't bother me. I'm pretty sure we've both used the ones in our shower anyway.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 18/02/2017 10:49

If I'm happy to shag someone I'm not going to be bothered by him using my exfoliating glove.

Incidentally, I don't have an exfoliating glove. I have a mitt. Now is a mitt more upmarket than a glove or is it the other way around?

SuperMoonIsKeepingMeUpToo · 18/02/2017 10:53

On the arm? Meh, wouldn't bother me.

When my mother used to stays she has strip washes as she doesn't like to use other people's showers. Weird, I know. A few years ago we had a very hot summer and one of my toddlers was struggling to sleep. She gave him a wet flannel to sleep with to cool him down. The one she'd used on her bits. Couldn't see why that upset me.

That bothered me.

KC225 · 18/02/2017 11:22

I was too scared to open this thread as like Neepneepneep I thought it was going to be a tale of 'man glove love' and to coin a phrase from The League of Gentleman 'red raw stump'. Now I read he has been exfoliating his arms, I'm a bit 'mehhhh' But OP if you don't like it, you don't like it.

addlebrained · 18/02/2017 11:28

Surely he wouldn't use it on very sensitive parts?!! Confused

NewtScamandersNaughtyNiffler · 18/02/2017 11:34

It would bother me too. And I know thats ridiculous as me and dp share far more than dead skin cells but it makes me feel all ewww. Confused

picklemepopcorn · 18/02/2017 11:36

You use an exfoliating glove on your face?!? Ouch...

NeepNeepNeep · 18/02/2017 12:44

Oh SuperMoon There are no words. Only vomit Envy

Gaaaah · 18/02/2017 12:47

I can't get over the fact that you use an exfoliating glove on your face! Are you a rhino?
