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?

thats disgusting. But Im sure Ive read somewhere that there are certain men who think touching their own arse - like even to wipe after a crap - somehow makes them gay. I wonder if he falls into this revolting territory

I knew an elderly male relative who definitely thought that toilet paper was for girls and wimps.

His poor DIL somehow ended up with the task of doing his washing, and the regular state of his shirt tails was like Worthy Farm once everybody's gone home from Glastonbury.

@StoneColdAlibi literal shit.

Your issue should be that he doesn't wash properly. That's gross.

SplendidUtterly · 24/10/2023 11:56

Hmm you share a bed with this fine specimen of a man i assume so maybe you should go into the bedroom and check your bed sheets.
Good luck!!

Evidence - yuck!!! On any towel!!

Sallyh87 · 24/10/2023 11:58

You are being unreasonable about the towel but not about the fact he is unable to wash himself!

WinkyTinky · 24/10/2023 11:58

It's a damning indictment of my marriage when some responders think this thread is a wind up 😣
Nope, it really is that bad. And this is only one example.

How does a grown adult have poo on their bottom AFTER washing? Obviously he can wash the towel, the dirty fucker.

Lifeinlists · 24/10/2023 11:59

She said she doesn't have sex with him and he's on his way to being an ex in more than just sex.
Unsurprisingly.

Teegan89 · 24/10/2023 11:59

YANBU to expect a fully grown man to use a towel without leaving shite on it. Yuck.

arethereanyleftatall · 24/10/2023 12:00

Like others, I saw your thread title and op and thought, meh, you're married, share a bed, it's fine.

But what the absolute fuck?!? He got shit on it? I have NEVER, in my nearly 50 years, seen shit on a towel, or thought any adult could get shit on a towel.

That is absolutely disgusting.

Glad to hear you're on your way out.

Get apart, and then luxuriate in glorious fluffy brand new towels all to yourself.

KickingEAP · 24/10/2023 12:00

He made a towel dirty then put it in the wash basket. What's the issue?

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 24/10/2023 12:00

Is it that old 'towel sawing' thing that some men seem to like doing? Hold one end of the rolled-up towel in one hand above your back, hold the other end in the other hand between your knees - and then it's like lumberjacks at dawn in sanding down your crevice?

Personally, I don't share towels with my DH. He ei have a towel and a spare, I will have a towel and a spare, DC will have a towel and a spare. Different colours or patterns. We don't use the same flannels either, different ones for each person (I keep mine in a bag in the bedroom).

I looked at a wash cloth once that my ex had washed his face with and it was like he'd blown his nose in it or something, it was vile, I don't know how the fuck some men do it.

I've really gone off men lately as many of them seem to be really disgusting things.

YANBU, especially if he can't clean himself properly.

Mamai90 · 24/10/2023 12:03

Did he actually have a shower? Or does he just wipe his shitty arse with towels instead of toilet paper?

Either way he sounds revolting and it sounds like you'd be right to pack your bags if this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Wishimaywishimight · 24/10/2023 12:04

I would vomit; a) seeing shit on a towel and b) being married to a "man" who cannot be bothered to wipe his own arse and leaves shit in the laundry basket.

arethereanyleftatall · 24/10/2023 12:01

Presumably he didn't deliberately get shit on it. Like, use it like bog roll. Followed through and not realised? It isn't something that's happened to me, but I've known it happen to my patients before now. With some constipated people you could wipe for ever more and they'd never be clean.

Shit shouldn't ever get on a bath towel unless you have a medical problem of some kind.

MrsDaniFilth · 24/10/2023 12:06

i was so expecting this to be something trivial - no its not!

toothbrush in the toilet i believe for that offence! ;)

glad to hear you are on the way out - speed it up!

Lovemusic82 · 24/10/2023 12:06

LTB and buy a full set of pink fluffy towels to enjoy and you will never have this problem again. He’s obviously a bit grim if he can fail to clean his own ass but managed to wipe it on your towel 🤢.

Sunshineandflipflops · 24/10/2023 12:08

Grim.

We have our own towels in this house as they don't get washed after every use but if my dp used mine my mistake, it's fine. If he got actual shit on it I would be horrified and he would be washing the towel. But he wouldn't because he is a grown adult.
