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!

Asked his mummy to send him some teabags from back home as he couldn't get good ones where we lived. She sent the wrong brand and he cried. Actual tears.

Looking back, I think it was the start of a mental breakdown.

😱😱😱 Bloody hell! What an inappropriate thing to say!

Even worse was when I explained no, thats my niece. He doubled down with "even better"
I blocked him the next day.

ThatCyanCat · 12/12/2025 18:41

I don't understand these men. How do they think we are going to react? "Oh yes, take me and my niece now right now, Mr Boombastic"?

SomethingBlues · 12/12/2025 18:56

To hear him begging a child to comply rather than, yknow, ACTUALLY FUCKING PARENT.

grow a spine you fucking doormat.

Sorry, it’s still raw you can tell. Trying to find a way out…

Eww!!!! Ltb immediately!

I imagine a lazy slovenly unshaven lover 😭

Macaroni46 · 12/12/2025 18:59

Brought his damp underpants to my house in a Sainsbury’s bag and dumped them on my kitchen table.
Tiny penis (not his fault obviously) but boasted about how good he was in bed. He wasn’t. And then he’d roll off and fart.
Wore his smelly hockey kit to a hotel breakfast with lace up shoes.
Repeatedly licked the spoon while cooking. It was a fairly wide wooden spatula and sort of crammed it widthways into his mouth 🤮
Could only finish by wanking

PashaMinaMio · 12/12/2025 19:15

He was bald.
His scalp was very dry so skin would flake.
He’d sit, talking on his phone, picking off skin flakes causing his head to bleed in spots all over his scalp.

He didn’t wash his face or neck properly before bed so his pillows used to smell quite strong from his aromatic sweat. I had to change the slips every couple of days because I hated the aroma on the bed linen.

AllSoComplicated · 12/12/2025 19:20

Oh actually...I remember a terrible first date where I got the ick. I hadn't been on a date in like 15 years. First one after marriage breakdown. He was nice looking enough but he was regaling anecdotes in a very "I've done this twenty times" kind of way....and he described something as being a bit fruity. And that was it ....the ick.

(It was not a fruit related anecdote).

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.

Yeah, but I'm sure there's much more to you also.

Grammarninja · 12/12/2025 19:26

Nastiness. Can't cope with it. First hint, I was always gone.

Holy God! How did you end up in bed with this person?!

Where are you all finding these men Jesus Christ. Is there some discount man shelf I'm not aware of? Or have I just been extremely fortunate that most of the men I've dated have been clean, fun and capable of looking after themselves?

LifeSurvior · 12/12/2025 22:46

Not mine but my Sisters.
He got a coin purse with a clip top like your granny used to have and started counting out £1 coins for his half of drinks. 😬

drinking out of a martini glass

whatsnewpussycat34 · 12/12/2025 23:39

Baggiest boxer shorts I’ve ever seen. And they were all bobbley and loose like they were 10 years old.

He looked like Macaulay Culkin in home alone when he wears his dad’s trunks to the pool.

dee104 · 12/12/2025 23:50

Said he was tweaking his nipples thinking of me. I think it was the word tweaking that just sent a shiver up my spine for some reason. Couldn’t bring myself to ever see him again.

Wore shoes that looked like they were from the orthopedic section at Clarks.

You let him back more than once after all that? 😱

KimHwn · 13/12/2025 00:42

This is ridiculous and there were many good, legit reasons not to like this particular man. But he once said the words "ganglion cyst" in a way that annoyed me so much, I knew it was over.

I hear you.
mine wore pasty type shoes to our first date that looked like something the hobbits wore in lord of the rings. Those and a really really long scarf that was hand knitted by mummy, made my stomach turn.

AsanteSana · 13/12/2025 06:59

Poor written and articulated English and virtually every sentence peppered with fillers - "like", "to be fair", and "d'you see what I mean".

Shrill, high pitched voice.

Belched down the phone at me on several occasions.

Swore regularly in general conversation, despite me making it clear that I was not happy about it.

Saw no value in education, learning or acquiring knowledge.

Thought it was acceptable and fine to drive after consuming alcohol.

Yes, all the same person!

RyanFudgingMurphy · 13/12/2025 07:04

Eating with his mouth open. It's like a food washing machine. 🤮 The noise! Eating with his hands at the dinner table.

Going to the toilet without closing the door. And yes, their "leavings".

Getting too handsy too early on a date. 🤢

Talking about his mother non-stop.
