I feel like a monster writing this. I dont want to diminish or try demeaning my OH. I just want advice on how to approach feelings/discussing this issue.

My OH repulses me, his dirty habits, laziness and constant sex fuelled remarks. I wake up feeling repulsed by the thought of him and we dont even share a bed. I see him asleep on settee and it boils my blood. Im at the point of resentment, cant bend over or lean in cupboard without gropping or sexual remarks. He hugs and kisses me i feel so turned off. Just want him to get off me. I dont want foreplay i want sex to be over quick. I just dont know why i feel obligated to have sex when i dont want it. I wanted off the pill because i didnt want sex and to see if hormones are the cause. But he suggested pulling out or other sexual things thats a no go for me. So i went back on the pill as pull out isnt guarenteed and the fact he kept asking. I never used to feel like this i enjoyed his company, the intimacy. We used to have sex everyday but now about 3 times per week. I know i could happily go without.
I have a good routine up by 7. Showered dressed sort house/go to work etc. But he can go literally weeks without showering or changing clothes and setee bedding. Makes me feel sick the smell of the room. And when i see him asleep still at 2 or 3pm angers me. Hes an all evening/night gamer, the lack of routine, motivation and poor hygiene infuritates me. I have dropped subtle hints like shall i get towels ready. Or ask him to wash bedding. I get fed up im not his mother. At the same time i dont want to belittle or be nasty to him. I dont know how to word it without it coming across like that.

Thanks to all for reading. Any suggestions?

Did PP read the bit where he has no where to go? What has he done that justifies being thrown out ?

frazzledasarock · 24/01/2021 22:28

He’s the abusive one.

I think you need to speak to women’s aid, get advice on how to get him safely out of your house.

Do you have any big burly male friends who could come round and persuade him to quietly leave?

You’ll find with him gone you have more money than you think, without having to pay for food and bills for him and you’ll get single person council tax discount.

Think carefully how to safely get rid of him if you feel threatened call the police.

He paws at op and expects sex three tones a week.

He contributes nothing to the household financially of otherwise.

He doesn’t even observe basic personal hygiene.

He is not OP’s problem.

frazzledasarock · 24/01/2021 22:31

He can move in with whoever he was complaining on the phone about op to.

billy1966 · 24/01/2021 22:33

Women's Aid and 101 to get him out of the house.

Tell them wear protective gear...he's a smelly pig.

OP,
You need this awful man gone.

well, he hasn’t had a job for 3 years, he’s a nocturnal sofa-sleeping grub who doesn’t have the slightest regard for his own bodily hygiene. he expects sex, harasses and gropes the OP, and got all whiny about her doing the right thing and attempting to split up with him.

i mean, what more do you want? if he has a friend he can tell he’s being ‘mentally abused’ he can go live on their bloody sofa.

@Wheresmykimchi

Perhaps if he would care to wash more often so he doesn't stink, or to be nice to the woman whose hospitality he's abusing, or to stop pestering her for sex and then accusing her of cheating on him if she turns him down, or maybe if he were to go and find a job instead of sleeping all day and gaming all night, or if he could have at least one (however small) redeeming quality, then I might have some sympathy.

Until then, he doesn't deserve any.

Why should the OP put up with it any longer?

Wheresmykimchi · 24/01/2021 22:43

@frazzledasarock
And which of that is threatening or abusive?

Women's aid on what grounds ?
Wheresmykimchi · 24/01/2021 22:44

I'm not denying he sounds ...filthy.

But Im not a fan of this claiming fear and abuse and having him chucked out.

It goes against victims who genuinely live in absolute fear.

000Dandelion000 · 24/01/2021 22:45

I understand he has no where to go. But i also understand what ive read on it. After talking to him about this and seeing all the posts i realised a lot. Hes a full grown man who cba to look after himself, get a job or be prepared to take the weight of me if needed. Instead hes choosing to live a cost free live with high expectations of others.
I also have my own life, work, stress without feeling bad for someone who doesnt care to show some appreciation back. With having such a busy life (as does everyine else) maybe i did turn a blind eye, but does this really mean i have to mother him or support him any longer.
I think of the future will i be paying for this man till i die, or put off having children cause his a big kid himself.

You poor love. You deserve so much more than this. Don’t let him give you puppy dog eyes in the hope you’ll relent.

Were you happy with him before you posted on here?
000Dandelion000 · 24/01/2021 22:51

@wheresmykimchi I have not put a single post where i believe im being abused or feel like a victim. I have not said i feel scared, living in fear or indimidated.

StanfordPines · 24/01/2021 22:55

If she was happy with him she wouldn’t have posted here. Would anyone be happy with that arrangement? Being a wank sock of an oversized teenaged boy?

RandomMess · 24/01/2021 22:55

He's a cocklodger!!!

No...yet PP are telling you to call women's aid.

It wouldn't be for me.

Doesnt justify PPs reactions.

Eekay · 24/01/2021 23:00

He could go stay with the person he told that you were abusive.
Honestly, this is no way to live. You have boiled frog syndrome.
Get him out and scrub your home from top to bottom to reclaim it.
You'll look back in astonishment that you put up with this for so long.
He's repulsive.

000Dandelion000 · 24/01/2021 23:01

@Wheresmykimchi At some point yes i was happy. Then the downward spiral happened and i cant pinpoint where. Its not like oh he has no job now i dont want him. Its ive supported him emotionally and finacially for 3 years with no signs of it improving and i feel its getting worse. I didnt know how to approach it hence why i came her for advice or support

OP posts:
Mrsmummy90 · 24/01/2021 23:07

Literally sounds EXACTLY like my ex (who was smelly, lazy, a freeloader but was also extremely abusive)

His response to you trying to have a mature, calm discussion about it tells you everything that you need to know.

You deserve better.
Kick. Him. Out.

evouk · 24/01/2021 23:09

This is a strange post

Your oh repulses you, he doesn't wash for weeks, you are disgusted by him but you have sex with him three times a week even though you don't want it

Why?!

Legseleven1990 · 24/01/2021 23:19

You 100% deserve better. Dont keep living like this x

000Dandelion000 · 24/01/2021 23:23

I dont know why. Maybe i know deep down id be alone. As stupid as that sounds. Ive let myself settle for less than bare minimum

OP posts:
frazzledasarock · 24/01/2021 23:27

Where is he abusive;

OP is being coerced into sex. She downstairs what to have sex with him, but feels she has to.

OP has told him she wants to break up. He’s accusing her of abuse. She seems paralysed to try and get him out of her own home. She is financially maintaining a grown man who contributes nothing to her life.

He is calling friends accusing OP of being abusive. And yet he won’t leave.
