It’s always harrowing to discover that someone close to us has a gross habit. It’s even worse when that person is our partner or love interest. The stories we have for you today are guaranteed to make your body twitch with disgust, but they are also a great reminder that anyone can have questionable hygiene or rituals, even those we’d never suspect.
- I would often hear my ex-boyfriend making a blowing sound in bed at night. He always said he was blowing his nose into his t-shirt. I thought that was gross, but whatever.
Then, when he moved out, I was horrified to discover that he was actually blowing it into his hands and wiping it onto the back of the fabric headboard of my bed! His side was covered in so much disgusting, crusty snot. I left it there. There was no way I could clean that!
- I once caught an ex of mine picking his nose and eating it!?! I was mortified—what adult does that? The first time I saw it happen, I was in disbelief and convinced myself it wasn’t true. Then I saw it again and confronted him.
Apparently, he couldn’t help it. We broke up shortly after…
- I asked my ex where the toilet paper was the first time I was at his place. He said TP was too expensive, so just rip off a piece of his bath towel to wipe and throw it in the “scrap bin.” He saves the ones that don’t “look too bad” to reuse.
- I just helped my current partner host a birthday party. I offered to clean the kitchen beforehand. I didn’t know I’d have to bring my own cleaner with me because he literally doesn’t own any. I asked, “What do you use to clean mirrors?” and he said, “Water.”
- I caught my partner using the same sponge we used for dishes to clean trash juice out of our trash can. Then he put it back in the sink for use on dishes.
- I dated this guy in college, and the first time I went into his bathroom, I was so grossed out I took pics and sent them to my friends. He would shave his chest over the sink and never clean it, so there were little hairs covering the sink.
- She was going to shower at my place for the first time, and I said she could use my shower gel. She said she didn’t need it. Turns out her showers were just rinsing.
- I dated a guy who was kind, funny, smart, extremely good-looking, and treated me wonderfully. I’d had a crush on him for years. Turns out, he was an enthusiastic nose-picker who would then inspect his findings… I ended the relationship because just no.
