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. I don't have shit in my arse before shower, never mind after shower. What's going on with that?

We once had a tradesmen who left shit stains all over our towel when he went to the loss. Heaven knows how. There was plenty of loo roll. He must have used the towel to clean his arse rather than loo roll.

Next day when he asked to use the loo he was told no he can't and he had to go elsewhere. Not having that in my house!

Oh god, I had similar happen. Tradesman who was only supposed to be here 5 minutes asked to use the loo. Fine. Went in afterwards and there was shitty toilet paper on the floor and shit still in the toilet. Fucking disgusting.

Why is his arsehole shitty after he's just had a shower? Jesus.

Get out as soon as you can OP.

A lot of people are disgusting pigs who don't use enough loo roll so constantly have a shitty arse! (And some don't use loo roll at all!).

DontListenToWhatYouveConsumed · 24/10/2023 12:53

@WinkyTinky I hope you don't have to share a bed with him?
It sounds really miserable and good that you have an escape plan.
You shouldn't have to, but are you able to shower or bathe elsewhere for now? Mum, Dad, Siblings etc? Keep a nice towel there?

AlwaysPrettyOnTheInside · 24/10/2023 12:53

Did he wipe his arse on it deliberately? After using the toilet?

Which is why more and more homeowners don't let the tradesmen use their loo! Some are little more than animals when it comes to personal hygiene and respect (or lack of) for other peoples' property!

I just do not understand how some men are not embarrassed about this. I remember the thread about a woman who's husband would leave his shitty boxers inside out in the laundry basket for her to wash. There were the usual 'be kind, he's obviously got a medical issue' responses but by far most women thought it was disgusting and said they wouldn't put up it. Why on earth would you think it was fine to do that in a stranger's house? I think in the case above I would have actually given a poor online review mentioning his disgusting habits. Honest to god if anything ever happens to DH I am never diving into the dating pool again it appears to be contaminated with a lot of shit anyway.

I wonder if men like this are blissfully just unaware of what they are doing, they simply just don't care, maybe have issues with touching/cleaning their asses because they think they will catch "the gay" or are genuinly a bit dim witted and simple? The mind boggles.🤔

I’ve just remembered another Incident. A broadband man came to my flat and asked to use the loo. Fine. The door to the loo was frosted glass and it was a very small flat so I couldn’t avoid being privy to what was going on. He had a piss, zipped up and walked out. I mean, he knew how obvious it would’ve been that he hadn’t washed his hands but still he didn’t care.

With regards to not using enough toilet paper, aforementioned ex was in and out of the loo so fast there’s no way he could’ve wiped his arse properly.

DisforDarkChocolate · 24/10/2023 13:00

Sounds like he did this on purpose. Yuk!

But then you'll have people come on here saying 'but toilets are for shitting in, stop being so precious'. Maybe the key is to embarrass them, say yes provided they clean up after themselves and then check it before they leave? (Only half joking.)

IDriveMySupernova · 24/10/2023 13:03

In all seriousness I don’t think I’ll ever get over the skids-on-sheets incidents. I’d be so worried it would happen with a new man. I’m not sure I could ever deal with a man in my bed again.

He knew perfectly well what he was doing. The OP had bought something nice and fresh and pretty for herself and he crapped on it.

Flatulence · 24/10/2023 13:07

The faaaar bigger issue here is that a grown man that you chose to marry can't wash his arse properly. That's disgusting.
I wouldn't care if my husband used my nice new towel; I'd care tremendously if he couldn't wash his arse well enough to avoid leaving shit on towel. 🤢🤮

This. Get a grip and some perspective

Actually @Imamumgetmeoutofhere Op said she’s not having sex.

Snazzysausage · 24/10/2023 13:11

Gordon Bennet,I can't believe I'm going to write this but I assume he'd washed his bum, then while drying "really well", the towel breached his bum hole 🤔🥺

uncomfortablydumb53 · 24/10/2023 13:14

I thought you were going to say dead skin! Actually Shit is disgusting
Does he know or care this happens?
Get yourself as many towels as you like... then tell him to leave
I couldn't go near him

dontgobaconmyheart · 24/10/2023 13:15

OP just a heads up that there are men out there who actually wash themselves and keep clean, respect other people's possessions in the home and care about other people's feelings in general.

He sounds disgusting and it sounds like you're unhappy regardless, so why stay?

That’s absolutely vile. i live in a flat building and if tradesmen ask to use my bathroom I feel a bit bad but I do make an excuse and direct them to the building communal toilet on the ground floor 😂. The exception to that rule is if I’m familiar with them and they’ve did a few jobs for me.

whynotwhatknot · 24/10/2023 13:17

i have my own towel dh has his-he wouldnt dare touch mine

who has a shower then still has shit on them

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 24/10/2023 13:18

That’s disgusting.

Could you buy him some toilet paper?

Hahaha I like that your suggestion is to buy toilet paper rather than he wash his arse in the shower 😂.

He literally just had a shower and still has shit on his arse, no toilet paper is going to help.

Universalsnail · 24/10/2023 10:47

I think it's just a towel and just wash it? Unless you asked him not to use your new towel before hand?

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.

No, it is not normal to share towels in a household.
