The dreaded feathery stroker as described by Marian Keyes. Smile

I misread that as leathery stroker

He had spittle at the corners of his mouth all the time and when he drank a glass of water he made several loud gulping noises.
My misophonia went off like a grenade.

This is gross, youre well rid

@BeachTimeIsBliss please tell us you have your freedom from this man?!

He shook women’s hands like they were made of tissue paper. It was the limpest handshake I’d ever felt. Told him to not pull that shit when he met my mum, he did and my mum’s face was an absolute picture. And he wouldn’t let me get out of a car without opening the door for me - would throw a complete strop.

I love a bit of chivalry but fuck me, that was all too far. Drier than a river bed after a ten year drought down there.

if you're put off cos someone eats tuna, then they're not the one and perfect.

it won't be the only moralistic point you disagree on, just the first significant one you noted. or the one that broke the camels back

and if you have different moral standards points👽, you'll have different values too

he was never right for you, you just didn't spot it

Chivalry is nice but it has to be done right. Throwing a strop over a door and being too gentle is 🤢

Wow is that why people do that?

I never knew and my best guess was that it was to help them open packaging 😂

About 5 minutes after the act. It gave me the ick. Shame as he was really hot but I mean WTF. He sounded really grateful too 😂😂

The woman who told the boring stories continually "we went on the Wednesday. No it was Thursday ".

The woman who wanted to go to the roughest pup in the area so I could piss of her ex..and his massive mates!!
The girl who brought her best mate on every date...fine when you're 15...not when you are on 23.
The girl who's mum hit on me (i was 14)
The girl who would start a fight in a phone box and expect me to do her dirty work
The married woman who wanted to get back on her cheating husband

I didn't have great taste in women

Booked his car into the main dealer to replace a headlight bulb.

Yes I know it was included in the fancy new car deal but it took days to arrange, time out of work for both of us to drop off (and time out of our weekend to pick up) for the sake of an £8 bulb.

Oh, and getting his mum to book a GP appointment for him.

Have you ever changed a headlight bulb?

On some cars, it can be an extremely fiddly task (my Vauxhall Astra is very difficult), sometimes involving taking off the whole of the front of the car. Yes, a main dealer wasn’t ideal, but changing a headlight bulb is not to be underestimated, even if the textbooks say “carry a set of spare bulbs so you can carry out a quick roadside repair”.

Another one here who spoke in a baby voice just before sex. I was young & stayed far too long. He had huge mummy issues (and daddy issues for that matter) which completely negated that he was an ex-model. When I dumped him he cried & begged & got his step-mother to call me from Australia🤢(she was lovely tbf, but come on!!!)

Another one wore a Dryzabone waxed coat 🤢. It was over from that moment.

I went out of my way for a date to be set up for me with this guy .
Ah this was a long time ago , he was just so handsome & use to come into where I worked a lot at the time .
Long story short , had the date , went great , he was so hot now remember ! ,
went back to his , he took out a guitar & started singing me Elvis Presley songs !!! All night !!! 🙈.
His dream was to go to NashVille .
That was the end on “ The One “ 😂 😂

Many, many years ago. He was absolutely gorgeous, really kind and funny.
Told me he didn’t clean his teeth everyday 🤢
I could not get over it.

@mumofoneAloneandwell The "ick" isn't real. It's just an excuse for committment issues.

If very minor and insignificant details annoy a person, then that person should reconsider whether they are suitable for relationships.

Wore a colourful waistcoat. Casually. With jeans.

I wonder if he had a photo of his mummy on his Prom night posing beside him in a colour coordinated dress?
