Disgusting habits of your XP/XH..

That you're so glad you don't have to live with anymore!

This was inspired by the 'wanking' thread on AIBU as it made me laugh (sorry BloodyHell if you see this, what a shock you must have had!).

It reminded me that one of XP's filthy habits was leaving a crusty, used 'wank sock' (ewwww) by the computer after he'd enjoyed himself.

He also once peed in an empty can of juice and left it out because he thought it would be funny to watch me drink it...

Just a couple of things that make me feel glad I'm on my own!!

Why oh why did you continue to LIVE with these animals people?

DrippingLizzie · 10/04/2008 14:25

My XP used to get up in the middle of the night and piss randomly on the curtains, the bathroom mat and the telephone on the landing. Gave another meaning to the Yellow Pages. Disgusting oaf.

Dropdeadfred · 10/04/2008 14:26

?????

Janos · 10/04/2008 14:28

I no longer do Dropdeaddred....no more wanksocks for me.

Another habit, not so unpleasant but still irritating was his refusal to hang clothes out properly after washing. He would take them out of the washing machine and dump them on the radiator.

Grrrrr!

"My XP used to get up in the middle of the night and piss randomly on the curtains, the bathroom mat and the telephone on the landing."

That is truly, truly vile. WTF???

Some of these are making my XP sound quite tame!

Why don't you kick them out after the very first offence?..I would vomit having to share a house let alone a bed with that!!

Janos · 10/04/2008 14:33

I do wonder that myself, sometimes...

My ex would sleepwalk and piss in drawers, suitcases etc. V. odd! The best thing was when he sleepwalked naked while staying (alone, I think) in a travelodge. He woke up when the lift doors opened at reception. Obviously he had neglected to bring his room card.

littlewoman · 10/04/2008 18:15

Lol Meanmutha.

Dropdeadfred, we didn't leave them because we loved them. Roflmao. I needed locking up, I was so pathetic back then!

Janos · 10/04/2008 18:20

I did leave mine...eventually!

littlewoman · 10/04/2008 18:25

Oh, yeah, I chucked mine out too (when he started on my socks ).

lou222 · 10/04/2008 19:58

gets something out of the fridge and leaves the fridge door open!!!!!

littlewoman · 10/04/2008 20:02

Oh, the amount of times I walked into my kitchen in the morning, turned the corner, and got smacked in the face by an open cupboard door. No wonder I'm so good looking.

madmuggle · 10/04/2008 21:07

Screwing other women.

lou222 · 10/04/2008 22:16

I put up with years of my ex gambling away every penny we had but in the end what realy did it for me was the 10 minute hawking (you know that noise they make when they try to bring up phlem from the back of the throat and spit it out) sessions at 7 o clock every morning of my life.

Oh, and the way he used to sit opposite me at the dinner table at night and cram food into his mouth so quickly and violently the fork used to "ting" against his teeth.

Funny how it's the little things that finally do it.

littlewoman · 11/04/2008 12:08

Oh, NT. I had a female friend that used to do that phlegm thing in the morning. Don't quite know how she fitted that into her vision of femininity, but there you go. Disgusting!

Tippychick · 11/04/2008 12:18

ewwwwwww

not washing. Then lying about not washing/cleaning teeth - like t'other poster he'd lie until I confronted him with a dry toothbrush/sink then just brazen it out and insist he was washing. Gross. His feet were so bad they'd bleach the dye from his socks, the bottom of all his socks would be a different colout and all hard, even after washing ( by me natch)

NEVER washing hands after the loo etc, never washing them before eating etc ( we lived on a farm so a bit essential). Not flushing the loo.

Those are just the gross ones. The lazy/antisocial ones could take pages.

Anniegetyourgun · 11/04/2008 14:05

One habit of my STBXH that always got to me was keeping loose dental floss in his pocket. Doesn't sound like much perhaps, but his clothes were usually filthy too, and then he used that floss...

Lol at the not washing hands on a FARM!! Good grief.

Notdoing, where the buggery bollocks did you find that charmer? You poor woman. Congratulations to his mother. Nice job.

Bit late getting onto this but oh thank god for mumsnet - i love it! This has brought back a lot of lovely memories of the things i don't have to put up with anymore! Why i put up with them for so long i don't know. Yes the wank sock thing - and he regularly left them on the settee last thing at night so either me or DS1 would get up to a lovely present at breakfast time! And the random night-time pissings - in the bath or sink was a favourite. Being deliberately farted on or dribbled on too. And oh yes, burning the back of my hand with a hot match. Charming.

PurpleOne · 14/05/2008 23:30

Am so glad I am behind the PS / dutch oven / teletext addictions. They used to drive me nuts.

We were ships that passed in the night, as we both worked, but he chose to spend his time with 'us' on the Playstation or looking at something other then me / dds, and doing family crap.
He had an obsession with cooking carbonara pasta....I have never eaten it since.

And the one time he ever raised his hand to me. Someone dfrove into the back of our car, I panicked cause really needed to go to work. He could have taken me in his taxi, but as usual he was slovening in the bath.

He never even bought me flowers when I had the dd's.

and the chocs he did buy me, I used to stash under the sofa...yet he'd fucking eat them the greedy bastard pig, and then blame it on the kids.

purpleduck · 14/05/2008 23:43

Why is it that I have NEVER heard of a wank sock

EEEEWWWWW!!

And weird - whats wrong with tissue???!!!

peabunny · 14/05/2008 23:59

Exactly - and what's wrong with learning how to then put 'soiled' tissue into a bin?! I'd never mentioned the wank sock thing to anybody before - thought he must be the only disgusting man in the world to do that, obviously not! urgh...

peabunny · 15/05/2008 00:04

Yes PurpleOne, i'd almost forgotten about the playstation - hours on end. If my ex ever did any cooking it was egg and chips and i'd have to wait about 3 hours for it.
