To think its disgusting that dh used my towel

Bought myself a new bath towel recently, a lovely pink fluffy thing, a treat just for me. Dh used it this morning, stuffed it into the wash basket, and went off on his way. So I took it out to get it straight in the washing machine only to find he'd really given himself a good scrub and left the evidence behind 😠Anger level 1-10?

I don't understand how there's shit on the towel?

FrancisFriedFish · 24/10/2023 11:00

Now that is definitely grim. The towel is not the issue. The fact that he can't wipe or wash his arse is the issue. Presumably you have sex with him ? Really grim.

Sharing a towel, fine. Once you've shared bodily fluids, how squeamish can you be. Poo staining someone's towel though, not fine!

WinkyTinky · 24/10/2023 11:01

He does the same with his own towel. I don't do his washing anymore. And there is certainly no sex.

I think OP means he is washing with the towel? Not drying himself with it? Still gross though, at least rinse it out!

ActDottie · 24/10/2023 11:04

People have their own towels?????

He probably put it in the washing basket because he realised he got it dirty.

My ex would blow his nose into towels, he was a certain white powder addict and there was literally NOSE CARTILAGE in the towel. I couldn’t cope with this either OP😅

FeverBeam · 24/10/2023 11:06

I was going to say YABU, are people really that territorial over towels, but then I read about the actual shit stains he kindly left behind. Envy

Tell that revolting man to learn how to wash his bloody arsehole.

Vom.

This in spades. That will teach me to judge before reading!!!

PerceptionIsReality · 24/10/2023 11:09

You are being ridiculous focussing on the towel. The towel is an irrelevance. Focus on the rest of it - it's quite bad enough. Gross.

WinkyTinky · 24/10/2023 10:50

@StoneColdAlibi literal shit.

Bloody hell. That's gross. Can he not wash or wipe his own arse properly?

spookehtooth · 24/10/2023 11:09

Is the pooh a regular thing, something that contributed to wanting your own towel?

I think sharing towels is the norm in a Household, generally. As for mistakes like pooh, if rare then annoying but not entirely unexpected. If a regular issue, then yuk, it should be embarrassing and something a person is keen to work on improving their method.

YABU for being married to a man who can't wash his own arse and worrying about a towel

Have you had sex with him?

Bit of a mess on a towel seems trivial in comparison 🤷‍♀️

VeridicalVagabond · 24/10/2023 11:12

Why are so many women ok with being married to, sharing a bed with, having sex with grown adult men who don't know how to wash their arse?

This isn't about the towel, I wouldn't care if my husband used my towel because my husband isn't a minging grot who cuts about all day with a shitty arse.

femfemlicious · 24/10/2023 11:14

Where I come from, people have their own personal towel😁

billyt · 24/10/2023 11:14

My wife wouldn't blink if I used her towel, even though I never have.

But to get actual shit on a towel is totally disgusting and unnecessary.

Your 'D'P is a dirty bastard. I can't imagine having a shower and still have a shitty arse. Does he not know how to clean himself after a shit? The mind boggles.

MrsSkylerWhite · 24/10/2023 11:14

Oh it’s poo. I thought giving himself a good scrub was a euphemism 🤣 Ignore me and my warped mind.

Yes, a shitty towel isn’t nice.

Aposterhasnoname · 24/10/2023 11:15

How can he still be covered in shit after washing. Where do people find these revolting men, FFS.

Annoying but not entirely unexpected??? It’s never happened to me or anyone I’ve lived with- how can you wipe your arse then have a shower and there STILL be shit there?

Then leave.

Catspyjamas17 · 24/10/2023 11:16

I wouldn't care - our towels are the same design, DH sometimes grabs the wrong one and they certainly are not washed after every use.

This isn't about the towel, I wouldn't care if my husband used my towel because my husband isn't a minging grot who cuts about all day with a shitty arse.

This. LOL @ "minging grot".

Honeybee798 · 24/10/2023 11:17

😳I don’t think using the towel is the issue here. Surely the issue is that he’s not cleaning himself properly at all and is disgustingly unhygienic? Never said it before but LTB. What grown adult doesn’t know how to clean their arse?
