What one weird thing has killed a relationship stone dead in an instant for you?

[talkingmongoose]

Just something that told you there was nooooo future?

I was seeing a chap quite some years ago, pre DH. We had been dating about a year, and were getting into bed at his place when I mentioned that I had my period, just in a casual 'so no rumpy-pumpy tonight' kind of way. The issue had never come up before.

He went all pale with disgust, said 'I wish you hadn't told me that', and proceeded to sleep on the floor.

Utter, utter twunt, I never returned his calls after that. Lucky escape.

She mentioned she had her period and she said he looked visibly relieved!...now she just doesn't even want to touch him..she pissed off and angry and he's on the sofa.

OK, sorry I though you were referring to the golden shower bit. Sorry for causing any problems.

On first full date with boy (we'd previously had a double date with my friend and his) he asked if he could take me to meet his parents. I said no, it was too soon. Next thing we are pulling up in someone's drive. I asked him where we were and he said at his parents and we'd have to go in because they'd seen us now.

I was sooo cross, but still didn't learn the lesson. Second thing was when he cleaned up some dog sick in our house, which I just thought was over the top creeping round my mum.

When I finally finished it (after two weeks) he would turn up everywhere I went and mooch like some lovesick dog. Final straw was, after my mum died, he turned up at my house and knocked us all up at 2am to tell me how upset he was about it. I was like "you're upset you self centred ass-hole". He finally got the message after that!

One ex boyfriend told me that if he ever had a daughter, he would call her Jordan.

That was the end of that.

Mumcentre it sounds as though he has.

He should get some help.

It can be very hard to live with someone who has it. I don't blame her for being upset but it is a condition, tell her to bear in mind he can't help it and to be a bit kind if she does ditch him.

It is treatable if she really likes him.

PMSL... some of these are hilarious!

I've always had a thing about eating nicely.... or at least with your mouth shut.
I was seeing a guy a while back.... I went round to have dinner with him and his kids and was HORRIFIED. The kids were eating like complete pigs and he didn't flinch...... ramming stuff in their mouths with their hands (they weren't young kids btw).. then to my added horror I realised boyf was doing the same!!!! >chomp chomp shlurp<

Sad as it may sound to y'all, I knew then we had no future!

She has spoken to him about help and he says that non of his other partners have minded...I don't believe this to be true tbh...plus...how was he so normal in the beginning and now he's not?

I went out with a lad who was an avid West Ham fan which was ok.... but all of his casual clothes were football shirts/shorts/tarck bottoms. Saturday afternoons were reserved for the Boleyn ground .

I finally flipped when he bemoaned the end of the football season (a glorious 2 weeks or so) in the early summer, claiming that he wouldn't know what to do with himself .

Add to that his RC family with religious iconography all over the place plus he confessed to me once that he was infertile, to make it, in retrospect, an "interesting" time. I still pinch myself with relief from time to time - he's still at home, still in the same job and doing what he was 15 odd years ago. As long as he's happy though.

Well if he's in denial he is going to be horrible to be with...I'd suggest she jumps ship now

Once was seeing a guy who proceeded to tell me that he had ONE pile.
(I wasn't really aware of these things 'pre ds')
I asked what you did with it and he told me you just push it back up.
Not really swooning material when you just start seeing someone!

Uh, I've just remembered one thanks to lilacclaire's post! A few weeks into dating someone, I went to his house and went to the loo. There were poo stains in the toilet bowl and a tube of some kind of pile cream on top of the cistern. He was obviously trying hard to make a good impression!

Needless to say that it was a crap relationship and went down the pan very quickly after that.

And to think many of those men must be married by now, or at least shacked up with poor woman now having to deal with their poo fetish/toe sucking/wonky knob/whisking fingers/raging misogyny.

Some of those women may even be MNetters!

I met this really nice bloke, in the RAF. Asked me if I'd like to go to the pictures and then get something to eat afterwards. So I got dressed up,looking forward to the date. Went to the pics, watched the film, then on the way home he pulled into the services, bought himself a sandwich, ate it in the car and then said.'right, early start tomorrow so I'll take you home'! Didn't even buy me a sandwich!!!

"And to think many of those men must be married by now, or at least shacked up with poor woman now having to deal with their poo fetish/toe sucking/wonky knob/whisking fingers/raging misogyny."

All their wives post in Am I Being Unreasonable, don't they?

It's reading about these weirdos which makes my day... helps me to be reassured that I'm a good catch for DW!

lol unquiet dad. I like your logic

The guy who asked the waiter for a calculator so that he could accurately divvy up the bill as I had drank more than him,
my main course was 65p more and I had a coffee. The shame of it.

I went on a date with a gardener. THe conversation was a bit stilted until he started talking about his work. He was an expert about succulent plants, cacti, etc., and told me about a recent trip to the Yemen to find a rare species. It was interesting to hear about once but he went on about it for a long time and I thought about a future of 'how was your day, darling?' conversations over the dinner table. No.

I don't think I was his cup of tea either.

god he wasnt called Peter and from Bournemouth was he? I've met that man!!!!! Once !!!!!

No, I think his name was Neil? Surely, there can't be that many experts on succulents?

I think any bloke that goes on excessively about their work or football or their motorbike, their computer, their hi-fi, etc., is a bit of a turn-off. But most men are a bit like this, aren't they? It is the male equivalent of women who go on about soap operas, shopping, fashion and makeup, celebrity gossip, their best friend's affair with the milkman....

Or were you referring to the guy with the calculator?

well maybe he changed his name. This guy actually posted me a flipping cactus through the post with a freaky note about destiny. I'd only been out with him once. His house was full of cacti and was soooo tidy it was freaky (maybe i'm just a big slob though)!

Was the cactus wrapped up (I bet the postman was delighted!)?

Maybe men like cacti because they are a masculine type of plant. Dunno. Or because they don't need a lot of care and attention. I had one once and didn't water it for a about 5 years. It looked just the same.

Plenty of slobs men round my way unfortunately wear sports gear as casual clothes and not when they're having a quick drink in the pub after football training or whatever sporting activity that involves them actually running about or maybe supporting their team on TV. It's all the time.

DP I think pretty much put the final nail in the coffin on his birthday in September, by being horrifically drunk and not behaving very well - can't seem to get over it no matter what I do..... oh and he lies as well so it's curtains I think!
