So boyfriend of a year ate his toastie from the plate by holding plate to face and pushing sandwich in, no hands. I cannot therefore unsee this.
Tbh our sex life is , let's say, poor at best. This has really finished me off. I'm having the massive ick.! Regale me with your equally dire stories!

This topic has been done a million times on here.
…but how on earth did he do that?

I don't remember specific ick but I do love the song by Panic Shack 😁

Ex partner peed on my toilet seat (the ceramic). I didn't realise until I went to clean the loo and saw yellowy brown splashes on the china. So not only a terrible aim, but seriously dehydrated. Utterly grim.

Another ex peed several drips on my bathroom floor, and yet another sprayed explosive poop up the back of the toilet bowl and somehow didn't notice. Wtf is wrong with these people?

Edited

My ex was a backside exploder - every single time. And every single time, he left it for me to clean.

I do not miss him at all.

And I haven't dated since because I can't face whatever form of nonsense there will inevitably be to have to deal with.

So many of us women are in absolutely no hurry to ruin the blissful peace we discover when we quit dating men!

I honestly shudder when I think about any of them; it's terrible, really.

So many men in my experience like 3 things. Drinking, shagging and football. They are really not worth the effort. I’m not sure why women bother once past the age where having kids is not a desire.

1- had severely chewed down finger nails and if we were ever watching tv he would be at them chewing them even more

2- had a mono brow

3- gave zero foreplay

4- wore extremely creased tops no matter the occasion

5- would brag about having loads of money in various accounts and a ‘trust fund’ yet was the tightest person I’ve ever met. Was always complaining about the price of stuff

6- took sick days at work a lot for no reason

TreeDudette · 12/12/2025 15:26

It was only one date but had fat sausage finges with coarse dark hair.. Also bored me to death with his knowledge of wine. I don't know anything about wine nor do I care.

Why are you putting up with a poor sex life from someone you’ve only known a year?

thank god, simething finally made you see sense! 🙄😉

I can understand why you'd say this, it hasn't been my experience but those are three pretty popular male passions aren't they?

In my experience men like:
lots of meat,
being served on hand and foot,
and not being challenged (having their beliefs or behavior questioned in any way)

Definitely with you on the bottom two -

I’m a woman and I enjoy drinking, shagging and football and have no interest in having children. Not all of us are sexless, teetotal and maternal, you know.

sprigatito · 12/12/2025 17:32

Petulance and sulking do it for me every time. Once I’ve felt my lip curl once at a man’s thin-skinned childish pouting, there’s no going back.

One of the reasons I am now happily single after several disastrous relationships is because most men seem to expect 3 things - sex whenever they want it, to be looked after (meals ready the moment they walk in the door, laundry done) and financial support because they can't deal efficiently with their own spending. After my last relationship ended 8 years ago,I swore 'never again'. Best decision I ever made.

Yep. That does it for me too.

Wow. Singing a loud chorus of "Glad to be gay" here!!

Gettingbysomehow · 12/12/2025 17:44

Shit breath and far less intelligence than me but thought he knew everything which he clearly didn't.

ThatCyanCat · 12/12/2025 17:45

Years and years ago I had a boyfriend and we would alternate paying for stuff. No issue. But whenever it was my turn, he'd start grinning and pulling stupid faces and saying, "Haha! Pay for me, woman! That's right, women get so much free stuff so get your wallet out and pay for me!" Fuck off, you tosser.

smallsilvercloud · 12/12/2025 18:02

Different guys
His mum bought him starburst sweets and he sat and ate them all like a child.
Had a blackhead in the middle of his ear.
Wore the same clothes too often.
Cheap trainers on our first date, zero effort
Gaming

Finding used bondage tape next to his bed. You’d think finding used condoms, nipple clamps, anal lube applicators , cock rings etc etc would have done it but no , it was the bondage tape. Look at photos of him now and wonder what the fuck I ever saw in him , he even looks like a pervert

BotterMon · 12/12/2025 18:06

Dirt on hand towels after "washing" and drying his hands.

Is this all the same guy?

OverlyFragrant · 12/12/2025 18:10

I posted a nice photo of me and my 16 yo niece at an event, all dressed up looking fab.
He asked me if that was my lesbian lover.

Absolutely no way back from there.
