Aibu to feel humiliated by this

So my DH had a peloton ride today. When he finished he went upstairs (very sweaty) and sat on the ensuite toilet seat to "cool down a bit", had a shower then came downstairs and sat and had his lunch. While he was eating I took some clean clothes upstairs to put away. Part way through I needed the loo so went to use the toilet. I sat down and the seat was wet. I very quickly realised I was sitting in DH's sweat! 🤮

I feel pretty disgusted by this and we ended up having a big row over it. I feel justified in being upset but not sure if I'm making a bigger thing out of it than is necessary. Not sure what I'm asking, I think I just needed to vent. I'd appreciate some perspective.

Maybe saying humiliated was a bit ott but in that moment when I realised why it was wet it felt pretty humiliating!

Humiliating?

Humiliated??? Surely just some feedback to wipe up after himself would suffice, not sure why its humiliating 🤔

Is humiliated the new mortified?

There's obviously a lot more going on here op. This is the straw that broke the camels back sort of situation.

At least we all know it wasn't Andrew Windsor Mountbatten

It could well have been. But I doubt Fergie would write on MN to complain. She couldn’t care less as long as the hush money keeps rolling in.

Luckily for me I don’t find my partner’s sweat disgusting. I would just give the seat a wipe and say nothing.

Humiliated? YABU. But I'd be annoyed he didn't clean up after himself. Not enough to argue about it, though.

Isn't this a man who has actually jizzed inside you?

CinnamonBuns67 · 17/01/2026 18:32

I think feeling humiliated by it and having a big row about it is a massive overreaction. I'd have been grossed out sure, and I'd have been expressed that I was cross that he'd not wiped the seat after he sat on it but I wouldn't have got in a row or felt humiliated.

All these people on here saying it's gross - have they never been exposed to someone's bodily fluids? It's a bit of sweat, we all do it, and a lot worse. Are normal people really this prudish in this day and age? Presumably they'd be horrified to find out what a blow job entails...

Maybe you're thinking of a different word? Humiliated doesn't make sense.

It just doesn't fit the definition of humiliation though...Annoyed/repulsed etc yes but humiliated?

Have you never had hot sweaty sex?

You are very easily disgusted!

When you ditch this chap, make sure you find one who does not sweat.

I believe this type of man hangs out at Pizza Express...
