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?

@Bobbotgegrinch are you ok🤔

I appreciate that a large proportion of people don't find this amusing, and I can understand that some people might find it distasteful, but the level of over-reaction is quite astounding, even for Mumsnet. I can't quite believe that people are seriously suggesting that the OP should leave her husband, who she presumably made a lifetime commitment to, because he scratched his bum and put his finger under her nose! 😆😆😆

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.

@Bearface28 could you explain that the smell of shit isn’t a turn-on for you and say “oh well, at least we won’t be needing contraception for the next [insert number] years while I get my desire back”?

I think @Cas112 is quoting the wrong poster …

Loads of us have posted already 🤷‍♀️

Everyone has a different sense of humour and finds different things funny - even farts and bums 😂

Ok. So you find it funny and wouldn’t be grossed out but why is the OP unreasonable for being grossed out?

I can’t believe you can’t believe it 😂 It’s one of the grimmest things I’ve read in here and just feels so base, juvenile and pathetic. It is just not something I’d expect a fully evolved grown up man to do. I saw a gorilla put his finger on another gorillas anus and smell it once. This man is as unevolved as that. What an utter turn off.

@Bearface28 has your DH been watching the Kevin Smith classic ‘Mall Rats’

This could explain his actions

Personally I’m not necessarily saying LTB but I would say she needs to have a serious talk to her husband because she is disgusted by it.

personally I’d be feeling really disrespected and grossed out by him doing something like that. And I’d also wonder if he has been watching some kind of weird porn. It could be the start of a slippery slope.

I would never tolerate that behaviour now but when I was in my early 20s there was one guy who would deliberately fart near me in the bed and laugh despite knowing I was disgusted by it . He was about 7 years older than me as well. His behaviour slowly become more degrading over that summer and I’m glad I escaped him a couple of months later. It turned out he had what I think is called a degradation kink.

@LuckySantangelo35 I mean, I wouldn't be turned on by it but I wouldn't be as disgusted as everyone on here claims to me - I'd probably laugh and try and shove it back under his own nose 😂

fieldsofbutterflies · 10/06/2024 23:19

@Oooooooodieeeee I never said she was? Confused

Catnipcupcakes · 10/06/2024 23:25

No. I’d be very, very upset.

I don’t care what other pp say, I’ve been married almost 30 years and I couldn’t be with someone who thought that was funny. I’d have a very serious talk with him and stay in the spare room until he really understood that nothing like that can happen again.

Was it out of character for him, op?

When I asked for people who voted the OP is U to show themselves you said ‘loads of us have posted already’ so I assumed that means you voted she was unreasonable. Must have misunderstood you.
