I’m speechless.I seriously went out with someone who shared the same bath water as his mum! She would get out the bath and shout ‘baths free love’ He was 28 at the time. Honestly I was out of there like a flash

that might actually be worse than the guy who lets his mum wash his rum rag... it’s close though that’s for sureI seriously went out with someone who shared the same bath water as his mum!

That rum rag story is the sort of stuff which you expect in The Hills Have Eyes. If I was a woman and discovered that, I'd have got the hell out of there before the collection of skin masks came out and momma enters the room with a chainsaw.
that was oddly specific?
The first holiday DH and I went on together his mum packed his case for him. We arrived at our hotel and we started to unpack and i commented on how neat he had folded his things and how his footwear was wrapped in bags. He had a toiletry bg of brand new neatly wrapped items.
I almost tit myself laughing when he said his mum packed it. Omg I had to be air lifted off the bleeping floor! I spent the holiday asking what else his mum did for him....turned out everything, even make his packed lunch for work. Gave me huge laughs but looking back major ick!
I am the youngest of 5 so in my house we learned early on what we had to do for ourselves. I still to this day think that MIL think i was hard done to or dragged up as she once said to me "a mum should look after and do all she can for her child regardless" yeah kinda agree but when they get to 14 start teaching them that beds dont make themselves and clothes dont teleport to the wash basket......and cases don't pack themselves
Dh is an only one and his mum finally cut the unbilical cord after 4 years of us being a couple, by which time we had our own place.
The day before we moved in together I told DH that i will not be doing all the stuff his mum does for him as he has arms and a brain so can do stuff himself. My speach worked a treat and we have always split house work between us.

My mum and dad weren’t the best parents if we’re being polite and there’s a lot of about my childhood that *should* have been different however at least they’re selfishness did provide me with the ability and confidence to take of myself. I won’t be the same with my kids in the sense that I will actually spend time with them and show them that I love and want them, but i will 100% be making my kids do things for themselves like pack their lunches, fold their own clothes, help me make meals, washing etc, (age appropriately obviously!). I can’t stand people who literally have 0 idea how to take basic care of themselves. One of my flat mates at uni didn’t actually know how to make toast. TOAST! He didn’t know what setting to put the toaster on as his mum had always done it for him. Now I’m not going to be making my kid into a mini Cinderella but I’m sorry if your kid gets to 18 and doesn’t know how to make a piece of sodding toast you’ve massively failed imo.
You must have really loved him to stick around! Thankfully it paid off for you.The first holiday DH and I went on together his mum packed his case for him.

Yep, wasn't going to let one ick put me off. 14 years this year, married for 6. Mil still tries to poke her nose in and mother him but he doesn't let her. Not sure i am in her good books these days for taking her boy away from her
Always found mil wierd in that she did everything in the house for her husband and her son as well as work full time. Father in law never lifts a finger in his home. My parents shared the load so dh's set up was so wierd to me.
I was starting to go off my ex for many reasons.. little things like him being a chef and his hands always smelling like onions (
) his constant bragging about money and the fact he called his family dog “our baby” just to name a few. Just to add we were “officially” together not even a month at this point!
But the thing that made me leave (and heave)... we were laying in bed (hadn’t slept together yet) and he turned round to me and said “do you give blowjobs?”
Eww. I cringed all the way home and dumped him by text. I’m no prude, but don’t ask me that. He sounded like a 12 year old not a 25 year old.

This made me laugh because he's essentially asking not "do you do them" but "can I have one, like, right now please"I hate when a bloke who thinks because we're both on a bed together watching a movie or whatever, having a nice normal time, thinking he can cop a feel because ooooh it's a bed and it might lead to sex! I remember in the early days of being with my ex we were watching Jurassic Park because I'd never seen it and he starts feeling me up under my jumper. Mate please, we're watching dinosaurs attack humans. I am not aroused.
Also his hand awkwardly rested there for most of the movie and it was a bit too warm and uncomfortable
That's truly cringeworthy! Treating you like he's ordering off a dial-a-girlfriend menu
I hate men like that. I really wish we could name and shame to warn every other potential girlfriend.
Eugh the baby voice one made my vag clamp shutI LOVE an ick story, if you don’t already follow her Lalalaletmeexplain on insta does insta ick stories regularly. They’re the best.
So here are a few of mine:
- He sang to me in a busy restaurant
- Lockdown Tache
- Jumped up and down when the pizza guy knocked on the door
- Used to talk to me in a baby voice when asking for a cuddle
- Used my Bobby pins to clear wax out of his ears
- Said ‘by the by’ twice in one conversation
I had a boyfriend that used to shout out really loud when he came, like AAARGH! - not normal-sounding noises. Maybe he had a medical condition.
Girls I think I have a winner here. Brace yourselves.
so I was seeing this guy. He was/is a musician. I wont name & shame. Not like a huge superstar, He’s a rapper from north west london. Anyway, we were about to have sex for the first time when he stopped, to put on music. His own music. And continued to have sex with me whilst listening to his own song & every now and then would whisper some of the lyrics in my ear. I cringed but It didnt last long & was over by the first song.
i thought maybe a one offthing, but it happened again so I ended it via text like a child lol.

Haha “you cant even drive but spend all ur money on trainers”. I think we all know a guy like this. So cringe.
Eww. And I just adore you for dumping him!I was starting to go off my ex for many reasons.. little things like him being a chef and his hands always smelling like onions (

My ex had a ‘mummy’ that ran around after him too. Our first weekend away and she rang up to tell him she had forgotten to pack him clean boxer shorts. We still speak and he still calls her mummy. He’s 40.
I believe part of being a good parent is bringing up a child to be able to look after themselves, taking on more responsibilities steadily and regularly under supervision, ensuring that the end result is not a helpless, dependant, frightened clingy child of 18+ years but, someone who can take care of themselves easily. That and looking after children, a home, a relationship and yourself must be tiring.Yep, wasn't going to let one ick put me off. 14 years this year, married for 6.

I wouldn't ever want to be with someone who was genuinely unaware of how a toaster operated. Whi remembers tommy fury of love island 2019.
I was told not interlocking is how you hold a child's handOne of my exes told me it was ‘old people hand holding’ if you didn’t interlock your fingers
About 9 years ago when I was about 20, I'd been texting this guy that I really fancied in college. We'd lost touch for a couple of years while we were both at different universities but he messaged me on facebook out of the blue asking how I was while we were both at home for the summer, we exchanged numbers and were flirting for a while. He asked if he could pick me up from my house and take me out for date, to which I agreed.
And then he turned up in a Mini exactly the same as this
I felt so shallow but it instantly gave me the ick getting into it and it was all I could think about through our dinner date, knowing he had to drop me back off at home in it as well
