To think this is disgusting

Was in bed last night, DH visibly scratched his bum then put his hand under my nose. Immediately lost my shit and left the room. He thought he was being funny but I can't even look at him.

Aibu to think there's no coming back from this?

Find it really hard to believe that someone who behaves like this and then doesn't see anything wrong with it is also a good father and husband.

I'm finding it hard to believe that he's never done anything remotely similar. That doesn't stack up unless he was drunk maybe.

Just spoke to him about it & he didn't really see what he'd done wrong, thought it was just a bit of a laugh. I asked him how he'd feel if I did the same to him and he responded 'aroused'. I give up.

Sorry but this really made me laugh.

Yes, it's gross but he was clearly just mucking around. Just tell him he's a pig and not to do it again.

I’d also be furious, and it would give me the ick, but to be fair, this made me laugh.

The romance is dead

HelpMeGetThrough · 09/06/2024 14:39

I'm wondering if it was the underside of his ball sack. As the owner of one, they can also get a bit pungent after a long day.

If the underside of your nackers smell like your arsehole, you need the doctor.

Daisylookslost · 09/06/2024 15:34

And I thought my OH was gross! Farts in the bedroom and the other day was taking a poo in the cloakroom loo with the door open. When I went downstairs to get something he said ‘you might want to close that’ 🤮 what a stench, gave him a lecture about mutual respect etc generally had a go at him… (of course this was unjustified 🙄) but over next few days he was being much more courteous.

NEVER has he ever done what OP described her parter has done I would not tolerate it. If it’s a new action, and considering the comment about being aroused if you did it to him, I have to agree he might be dabbling in porn relating to this erhm ‘area’. Or he’s just lost all respect for you. Whatever inspiration behind it, it’s not coming from a good place is it.

I hope he did wash his hands thoroughly after his ‘joke’ - that would be a non negotiable for me. I’d be furious and repulsed on a new level. Also I’d have the ick, he’d have a lot of making up to do!

Ifyoucouldreadmymindlove · 09/06/2024 16:19

And he’ll probably have the audacity to be fucked off when you refuse to ever have sex with him ever again.

So fucking disgusting.

CharlotteLucas3 · 09/06/2024 17:35

He was testing you to find out if you share his new (and delightful!) poo fetish🤢. Grim.

EnglishBluebell · 09/06/2024 18:09

That would give me the permanent ick. I'd think of it every time I looked at him forevermore and I'm being deadly serious I genuinely would.

Also, please tell me he washed his hand after doing this 🤢🤢🤢

RenoDakota · 09/06/2024 18:23

I have been decorating today and the paint fumes made me feel sick. Reading this has now practically made me vomit.
What a disgusting pig of a man. I would never, ever have any respect for him after that. Absolute deal breaker. Ugh.

5128gap · 09/06/2024 18:41

So...the ordinary, civilised, polite, great guy you've lived with for years, all of a sudden decided to do this bizarre and disgusting thing, having no form whatsoever for this sort of 'humour'? I find that odd in the extreme. If my DP acted so far out of character I'd be very concerned and wonder if it was passive aggression. Because imo you either think that sort of thing is funny, or you don't and never ever would. You don't usually move from one view to the other once you've passed childhood.

Cocka2 · 09/06/2024 19:04

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely disgusting and yet highly amusing at the same time!

Why is getting bacteria from your arsehole on your hands, before putting it in the face of your partner “highly amusing”?

gross. just gross! When I married my husband, he was the most polite man. I had never heard him fart! and any little burp was met with an "oh excuse me" So on our wedding night he let one rip, and pulled the blankets up (dutch ovened me) and said..rings on now baby!! I told him that if he ever did that again , the ring would be off immediately. Hasn't done it since lucky for him. Idiots. Why do they find toilet humor so funny? Reality Check..it is NOT FUNNY

And men run the world. What. The. Fuck.

AmelieTaylor · 09/06/2024 20:06

@Bearface28

yuck. I'd have marched him into the bathroom to 'supervise' him washing his hands properly!!
then told him never to get into bed with me again until he'd had a shower & washed his arse, then hands, thoroughly, and if he ever did anything so vile again, the next thing he'd hear from me would be a letter from the solicitor.

and to keep his hands to himself as I don't want them anywhere near me.

id have struggled not to laugh at 'aroused' though.

CutthroatDruTheViolent · 09/06/2024 22:09

You must be married to my ex boyfriend because I refuse to believe there's more than one buffoon that thinks this is a good idea.

Knitgoodwoman · 09/06/2024 22:11

How do 23% of people think this is ok?! It’s absolutely grim, his finger smelt of his ass hole… not just scratching his bum!

Elieza · 09/06/2024 22:56

Has he farted and caught it in his hand and flung it on your face yet? If not, I imagine that's a little gem you can look forward to receiving in due course..🤮

Is he 14 years old as he's acting like it...

MonsteraMama · 09/06/2024 23:11

Bobbotgegrinch · 09/06/2024 11:37

Ok, so the "aroused" comment is making me wonder whether it was actually his bum he scratched. Are you sure about this @Bearface28?

I'm wondering if it was the underside of his ball sack. As the owner of one, they can also get a bit pungent after a long day. And if DP asked me how I'd feel if she stuck her hand down her knickers and then asked me to smell her fingers, the answer probably would be "aroused" (I'm male, I know we're a bit grim, but DP doing that would probably be the most overtly sexual thing she's ever done)

So, I'm wondering if you've mistaken ball smell for bum smell, and no one's clarified in the ensuing argument. It's a grim thing to do either way, but I can just about see why he thought it might be funny if it was balls.

Either way, he's spectacularly misjudged and it'd put me off him for a while. But throwing away what otherwise sounds like a very good relationship over it sounds a bit extreme.

I may not own a ballsack but I'd say I've gotten more up close and personal with one than the average heterosexual male has - the two smells are very different. I'd know the difference and I assume the OP can tell as well.

Good effort though, balls would be marginally less heinous than arsehole I suppose.

Haha, I'm bi, so have been fairly up close myself, and will happily agree that its two very different smells.

I'm just struggling to imagine a world in which any man is going to think "I know what'll get my partners motor running! Poo smell!" so wondered if maybe she recoiled quickly enough to not get a good whiff.

Justleaveitblankthen · 09/06/2024 23:40

So he doesn't even wipe his arse?
Dirty fucker. 🤢

Sorry but I find that sort of thing funny. My husband has done it to me more than once, and I must confess I've done the same 😆😆

NoveltyCereal · 09/06/2024 23:51

It is pretty gross and absolutely heinous that he randomly subjected you to it when there is no history of this kind of behaviour between you too but nothing to lose a relationship over.

I think some of the comments about him not wiping his ass etc are a bit over the top. It can get a little wet and sweaty down there so I assume it that the scent of that as opposed to wagging a shit covered finger under your nose.

coxesorangepippin · 09/06/2024 23:53

What exactly does he expect to gain from doing that? How will it make him ever look good?

SNMummy2024 · 10/06/2024 00:02

Sorry but I am with the other posters who are finding this hilarious 🤣

It is absolutely vile and grim as, but I am led here chuckling away. Especially funny was the part where he says your bum odour fingers would get him 'aroused' 😂
