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!

Three different men 😂

When doing the "deed" he would nuzzle his face into my neck and make these weird snuffling noises like a puppy.
Now if it had actually been a cute little puppy snuffling into my neck it would have been quite pleasant but not a full grown man with 2 days of beard growth 🤢

First holiday together … boat trip and everyone was diving or jumping off the side of the boat … he spent about 20 minutes wrapping those foam noodle things around his body before carefully going down the steps 😳 … no going back from that …

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?

Came to stay for our first weekend together. He brought his navy blue joggers and tartan slippers, and changed as soon as he came through the door. Then proceeded to read a book with his feet on my coffee table.

This has cheered me right up this morning!🤣🤣

Some of these guys sound proper minging🤢🤮

MightyGoldBear · 13/12/2025 10:06

He picked his nose in front of me and ate it🤢 I think he autopiloted whilst driving. But once I saw I couldn't unsee. Never kissed his booger mouth again.

That was the end of that.

13 years and I've never seen my dh pick his nose or anything like that.

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.

To be honest I like those things as well 😁 but I agree with you that in my case (I’m a woman!) I also like other things like theatre and history and reading and running and my Family and friends and my Job and holidays and my Kids and 1000 other things. So many men are so uninteresting and two dimensional. So many women are so much more interesting.

I know so many fantastic women, so few fantastic men.

I had this from 2 different men when we were on a first date when I was doing OD. Both picked..and ate..IN FRONT OF ME! What is the matter with men??

Therunecaster · 13/12/2025 10:25

OMG as a newly single person I'm both horrified and cheered up. Mine is the sad face! Filling me round the house with the sad eyes of disappointment at me getting on with my life!

I’ve been uneasy expecting this one on the thread, even thinking about that makes me gag. It is so disgusting

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

I lived with someone once who made the bedding smell like boiled cabbage - !! I felt bad at the time for noticing it

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.

CalculatingCrispen · 13/12/2025 11:11

Oh goodness me, some of these I can't bear to even read. I have skimmed the "nose picking one" and can't mentally absorb it 😱

Mine is even more shallow after reading some of these.

We were on a train and he put his head on my shoulder as he was tired.

That was it. Ick. It felt so pathetic him doing that

Different men

I had a shower over the bath set up with the loo at the end of the bath

I was in the shower and he came in,pulled his pants down,started shitting,wiped his arse,looked at the paper,pulled his pants back up,flushed and walked out without washing his hands

The smell alone was enough-i didnt want to see it as well

I finished it 15 minutes later

Another was a total baby

We where going to a bbq at his mums

He'd set off a bit earlier to mow her lawn and I rocked up 5 minutes early

He threw a massive man tantrum and walked out

I stayed while making my mind up to finish it and got back to him sulking because I hadn't followed him home while grovelling for my behaviour

Then I found he'd used all my data (I had a dongle for my laptop at the time) and tried to lie about using it to watch porn (the tissues all over the room where a bit of a giveaway)

Another one lived and breathed Leeds utd

I dont do football-i hate sports and he fully expected me to watch every match,go with him to matches and watch the highlights,all day everyday

He also tried to ban me from wearing ugg boots

I ended it and bought 4 pairs

And he thought he was a God in bed

Spoiler-he wasn't and had a tiny penis

Whining.

I get the immediate ick from childish whining. My ex used to do this - whined about how intelligent he actually was and that he only couldnt get into university because of how non privileged his family was etc

That wasnt the reason - he just wasnt academic enough which is fine, no disrespect there but the toddler whining used to make my vagina shrivel. If you cant do something, just fucking own it and do something else instead. Dont spend your life in perpetual victim hood blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. vom

Single now for six blissful years! But the last guy (who had a LOT of faults, I used to come on here and people would tell me to leave...) the final final straw that did for him was -
out for a walk with our respective dogs. He would NEVER, EVER walk with me, always walked five metres in front, talking to me over his shoulder. I couldn't hear a word, might just as well have gone for a walk on my own. I asked him why he couldn't just slow down and walk with me, and his reply was 'the dog won't walk slowly.'

His dog. Who was off the lead running around with mine. Apparently he had to keep up with her at all times. And I knew exactly where I stood, behind a Labrador. Ick.

Looking in the mirror at himself during any heated discussion/argument. Completely lost his temper when I said ‘why are you arguing with yourself ?!

He used to eat "breakfast in a tin"
He use to have long hair, had his pony tail cut off and then kept it in his bedroom like some kind of weird hairy trophy pet
He used to ask me for a "cuddle" in a baby voice which made me want to vomit my guts up
He bit his nails down until they were so tiny that his finger started growing over them
He used to brag constantly about his prowess in bed. It turned out to be more disappointing than a vegan pizza
