To have told DH he was completely disgusting?

He stuck his finger into a jar of biscoff spread, took a load out, licked his finger, then did it again.

Second time was for my benefit because I said "don't do that! You haven't washed your hands!" Because he thinks he's funny.

That's fucking disgusting isn't it? And childish? I'm not being unreasonable to be grossed out and refuse to have anything more to do with said jar of biscoff?

Hopefully not straight after he's scratched his itchy ringpiece though, @Chiyo666

Chiyo666 · 28/04/2020 18:33

Using someone else’s toothbrush does make me want to vom though.

Thighmageddon · 28/04/2020 18:39

He needs his own personal jar. I can do this with the marmite because I'm the only person in the house that eats it Grin

minipie · 28/04/2020 18:51

The germs on his finger will multiply in that jar like there’s no tomorrow.

I wouldn’t put my finger in a jar of anything even if it was my own personal jar, because of the germs multiplying. Unless it was nearly empty and about to get thrown away.

smiften · 28/04/2020 18:53

Sharing a toothbrush can be quite dangerous.

Reallymissthegym · 28/04/2020 18:54

minipie says it as it is. Multiply, multiply, multiply.

Thinkingabout1t · 28/04/2020 18:57

Ugh. One of the reasons I left my ex was because he'd do things like that just for the fun of disgusting me.

Wishihadanalgorithm · 28/04/2020 18:57

I would clean the toilet with his toothbrush and not tell him. He is a disgusting pig of a man.

saffy1234 · 28/04/2020 19:04

Haha @Chiyo666 you said what I was thinkingWink

Cherrysoup · 28/04/2020 19:07

Very ick. He’d just scratched his arse and I’ll bet the biscoff is kept in a nice dark warm cupboard. Ideal for breeding germs. Omg. I’d puke, but then I have a very sensitive gag reflex and now I feel nauseous.

How does someone’s brain even go to that place. Gross.

WeMustGetOffTheMountain · 28/04/2020 19:10

It would really annoy me, too. Same as drinking juice or milk straight from the bottle, just no need for it.

Herpesfreesince03 · 28/04/2020 19:11

I couldn’t get annoyed about this

AmelieTaylor · 28/04/2020 19:12

I wouldn't be bothered about sucking it off his finger if he'd offered the second dip to me, if it was off his plate for example, but the putting in the jar is a big no because of the multiplication of bacteria in the jar afterwards

I have a feeling though, that your DH & I would last about 5 minutes before we decided it was a non starter.

When I met my husband his revolting habit was to drink directly out of the milk carton in the fridge and put it back in for the next person.

I told him that it was revolting. The next time he did it I waited until he'd finished and put it back in the fridge shuts looking me in the eye. I then tipped the entire 2litre milk down the sink in front of him, he was upset saying it was a waste. But it meant he had to go to the shop to buy more so was affecting him.

He's slightly better behaved now.

One thing I cannot stand is unsanitary practices involving food. Do whatever you like to your own food by not something that is to be shared.

PlanDeRaccordement · 28/04/2020 19:13

I agree OP. Very disgusting.
I’d have thrown the jar away by now.

OoohTheStatsDontLie · 28/04/2020 19:14

If you were both going to sit down and scoff the whole jar then YABU. If it wasnt going to be eaten straight away and was going to be stored for a few more days/ weeks then YANBU, I wouldn't even do that to my own jar of anything and then leave it for another day as bacteria and mould can grow. I dont think the sex argument is relevant because 'fresh' bodily fluids are not the same as bodily fluids that have been festering in a jar for a few days. Like I'd kiss my husband but I wouldnt drink his saliva that had been in the fridge for a while

SunnyStroll · 28/04/2020 19:17

It's vile, not because of the germs, which you share in so many ways but because saliva starts the digestive process

1forAll74 · 28/04/2020 19:18

You need a few germs in life, to build up a resistance to them, So say I, remembering the war years ha ha. I have not been to the doctors for about 35 years, so quite pleased about that.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 28/04/2020 19:24

Why the fuck would anyone share someone else's toothbrush 🤢

YANBU OP that's disgusting. A child doing it I could understand as they might not be aware of the whole germ thing, an adult doing it is vile

LouLouLoo · 28/04/2020 19:25

Gross, why not just use a spoon?

diddl · 28/04/2020 19:34

Revolting-the food will go off more quickly won't it?

But then also the childishness of doing it again & laughing when someone has asked you not to?

And all this after he scratched his arse?

Is this supposed to be "lighthearted"?

I mean how can you love & respect someone like this?

TryingToBeBold · 28/04/2020 19:38

Everyone knows you don't double dip.
He could have at least used a different finger

Daisydoesnt · 28/04/2020 19:38

That is so grim. I've heard of double dipping which is completely banned in my kitchen (tasting something that you've cooked, or are cooking, and then putting the spoon back in the pan again) but putting your finger in a jar is beyond gross. Urgh.

Which reminds me we were watching TV last night and one of the characters drank from a bottle of juice and then put the juice bottle back in the fridge. That is only marginally less disgusting, and very nearly grounds for divorce. And it was Damian Lewis.
