He is being unreasonable isn't he? Spot related

DH gets into bed then immediately says something is poking him in the back, quickly concludes he has a spot on his back, I immediately get excited but say nothing.
'No.' He says
'What? I said nothing!'
I know you, leave me alone. You're not squeezing it. What is it with women and spots?
I get up to follow him to the bathroom hopeful and the bugger locks the door 😡
I should be allowed to inspect and squeeze surely?

Ltb. My DH saves his for me and anything less is grounds for divorce.

everydaymum · 22/12/2018 01:33

You're married, you're share things, spots included. If he's withholding them LTB!

everydaymum · 22/12/2018 01:34

*you share things...

Grounds for divorce

Purpleartichoke · 22/12/2018 01:38

If he is going to deny you, you have no choice but to turn to popping videos for cold comfort.

Is there anything more satisfying in the world than the emergence of someone else's puss!!!!

[this is SOOO obviously a late-night thread! If it survives until morning there will be hordes of 'decent' MNers in horror at our vileness but I know puss wins]

EBearhug · 22/12/2018 01:49

So he draws attention to it, and then tells you you're not allowed to touch it? Can't he see how unreasonable he is being? If he doesn't want you to touch it, he should suffer in silence and not mention it in the first place. If he won't change his ways, then LTB is the only reasonable response.

I don't get the whole spot squeezing thing, makes me feel sick 🤢

JosephineBucket · 22/12/2018 01:50

DH doesn't even mention it unless he wants it inspected and hopefully squeezed. Yours is a spot-tease!

This.

Go to Sporner Corner. They are your people.

Let me tell you what's heartbreaking.
When you DS is in late teens and actually encourages you to get his back spots as you do for his Dad.
Then when visiting home as a now adult man with his adult girlfriend (think 23ish) and he says something about a spot. The boy hasn't lived at home for some time now but you get a little happy at this spot news until gf announces to you "I know it sounds gross and please don't judge me but I love squeezing his back spots"
Utter rejection.
Soul destroying.
I felt like a standby mean future MIL and now dislike her

*Disclaimer for those with humour bypass.
She's lovely and like her a lot

MrsTerryPratcett · 22/12/2018 02:07

You haven't gained a daughter, you've lost the spots. Sad

Pontingss · 22/12/2018 02:13

My current DP literally never gets spots Sad I find myself fantasising about my ex’s sometimes

MrsTerryPratcett · 22/12/2018 02:17

Me too. I adore DH but exH used to get great spots. Shame he was an enormous carbuncle himself

lunar1 · 22/12/2018 02:18

I don't think I'd look at DH the same if he taunted me with a spot and didn't let me deal with it!

BumDisease · 22/12/2018 02:18

You dirty bastard.

KeepServingTheFestiveSnogs · 22/12/2018 02:21

Unacceptable for this vile and unacceptable behaviour you need to make her life hell enough that she starts threads about you on here.

I don't want to stealth boast, but my DH gets cysts. I have seen them pulsate when you squeeze them (which you probably absolutely shouldn't do). Like... you squeeze until poppage, and then you stop squeezing, but the stuff keeps coming out.

Am I the most disgusting person on the internet today?

it is honestly more satisfying than orgasm!

FlyingMonkeys · 22/12/2018 02:25

Opposite in my household! I'm the unfortunate spot (and stray chin/boob hair) recipient 😒 DP whips out his medical kit (tweezers & torch on phone), and stealthily approaches me with a joyful/determined expression of hope at any sign of picking, rubbing, or focussing on a body part for more than 60secs.

AGHHHH · 22/12/2018 02:37

My shoulders are covered in scars from where my family used to sit and pop them all. Xmas Sad

Noel noel sing graces the yuletide joy is nigh.

Seeingadistance · 22/12/2018 03:04

He and the spot can't stay locked in the bathroom for ever. Lie in wait, grapple him to the ground, and squeeeeeeze!!! While you're waiting, you can work out how to film the squeeeeeeze so the rest of us can enjoy it too!

MixedMaritalArts · 22/12/2018 03:48

Grab bedside emergency torch, walk to fuse box, flick ‘leccie to off. Wait by bathroom door. Pounce!

everydaymum · 22/12/2018 04:06

I don't mind the odd spot squeezing, but much prefer blackheads myself.

Honeyroar · 22/12/2018 04:38

Yuk. I hate it if I get asked to squeeze a spot. Thankfully it's very rarely.

Suziepoozie · 22/12/2018 07:28

My ex was a knob but he had all these black heads on his earlobes. I still think about them and the day he let me squeeze them for half an hour😂😂😂

My boyfriend has nose blackheads and the occasional spot but he won’t let me do them very often.

My brother lets me squeeze his back spots and he has acne, it’s terrible but I find it so relaxing. My boyfriend finds it repulsive 😂
