I met my partner a number of years ago. I can't remember how far we were into our relationship when he started going to bed without brushing his teeth. I wasn't happy about that. In the mornings, I don't think he spent appropriate time brushing his teeth.
He was in the bathroom and back out again within a minute or so. I never timed him but definitely he was far too quick for my kind of liking especially considering no night time brush beforehand. It wasn't a nice habit.
Other hygiene habits have taken a dive over the past year with him. He doesn't smell bad but there is an issue. Sometimes when we meet his clothes are filthy. His hair was greasy too many times when we met.
I can remember one time when we met up, I think he had a runny nose. I thought at the time - 'WTF, what if that was the start of a covid infection for him'. For example if I had a runny nose, I think I would isolate until tested. We were walking along and what I witnessed him doing next, repulsed me greatly. He took his hand and he brought it to his nose and he wiped his nose all along the back of his hand all along his arm. It repulsed me so much. Why didn't he just ask me for a tissue?
We met over the weekend and I noticed while he was talking, every time he talked and opened his mouth, there was a film of thick saliva moving with his opened mouth. That would tell me he's not brushing his teeth or his a has a dry mouth. I gave him a fresh bottle of water that he didn't use.
All of this is a huge deal breaker for. Not only all of this poor hygiene there's new issues beginning to arise now too. He's very negative and he likes to mock the the prime minister and his name as if that adds anything constructive to a political chat. Something new now too is that, he is bored and unhappy with the lockdown and the guidelines and he doesnt want to follow them any more. Not only that but he did his owe little protest at the weekend and ignored the social distancing guidelines and nearly stood right up against another person's back in a queue. I had to ask him to step back. We are polar opposites now of each other. I think it's so important to follow the guidelines to protect yourself and others too. He's is now going to place himself into more risky situations and more risk of contracting the virus without a care in the world for others and for spreading it onwards.
He has no patience driving on the road and he lacks respect for other road users too. This is a pet peeve for me. He's driving around as if he owns the roads.
The man was a good man before and to some degree he still has a lot of good about him but there is the poor hygiene issues, it's a deal breaker for me. Not only the hygiene issues but his poor attitude towards others like other road users and his poor attitude towards the covid public health guidelines.
I would like to finish this relationship. I was never a dumper before. It was always done to me. How do I go about doing this. I wasn't in the mood for seeing him yesterday and I just made excuses against seeing him. They weren't excuses either. I did spend the day doing some home exercising.
