A woman has revealed she dumped her boyfriend after finding out he had a pretty gross habit.
Dating can be tough at the best of times, especially when trying to get through the honeymoon stage and settle into a long-term relationship without giving each other the ick.
There can be many dealbreakers along the way, with some people finding even the smallest things too difficult to bear.

Taking to the Reddit thread r/texts, she shared screenshots of the text message conversation that sparked the beginning of the end.
She revealed that they'd moved in together after two years of dating, but things began to unravel after just three months.
The unnamed woman captioned it: "The text conversation that foreshadowed our breakup."
But what was such a dealbreaker for her? Well, it all came down to washing the bedsheets.
In the text, she asked him if he could "throw the bedsheets in the wash", to which he responded: "Why?"
She pointed out that the sheets were dirty from being used and that she washes them "once a week", and suggested they "alternate" who does that household chore each week to make it "a little more fair".
However, her slovenly boyfriend argued that it wasn't "fair" on him as it was "creating more work" and that the sheets "don't need to be washed every week".
Of course, the next question was then - how often does he actually change his bedsheets?
Shockingly, he responded: "IDK (I don't know), like once every other month? If that."

The horrified girlfriend then replied: "Is that a joke because that's disgusting," leaving her man bewildered.
He then argued that if she wanted "something done a certain way" she should just do it herself, to which she responded that she didn't feel "comfortable sleeping in a bed with musty sheets".
Not wanting to change his crusty ways for anyone, the boyfriend then suggested she sleep on the couch and branded her "controlling" for suggesting they actually clean their bedding more than once every few months.
She added in the caption that her boyfriend had later admitted he "only washed his bedsheets twice a year".

The woman confirmed in the comments: "I only lasted another five months before I moved out and dumped him. [...] Before you ask, no he wasn’t depressed. Just super lazy, gross, and entitled."
Unfortunately, his gross ways don't appear to be all that rare, as a British study shared by the New York Post recently revealed that revealed that around 45% of single men only wash their sheets around every four months.
People in the comments also sympathized with the woman's plight, having encountered similarly musty-bedded men in their lives.
One wrote: "My ex and i live together still but i moved out of the bedroom to the living room. He hasn't washed the sheets once since and that was last Dec. him and his room smell soooooo bad. He works in a restaurant too so his pillowcase is now turning black. I don't get it. it's so foul."
Another added: "I now get backne from sleeping over at dudes place. Thought he had cream-coloured sheets…they were supposed to be white. When I asked him about it he said 'oh yeah mum’s coming to do them this weekend'. Bro was 23-24 ."
Others were similarly grossed-out by the man's poor bed hygiene, writing: "How were you able to stay with this f**king guy another year 5 months after this exchange? My skin is iching by reading this."

Another added: "good on you for breaking up w the must master," while someone else wrote: "But like… if you wash your sheets biannually like this dude maybe you need 15 pods to cut through the man grease of that straight up oiled canvas he’s manufacturing."
One poster commented: "I would’ve broken up w him right then and there. Talking mad crazy and getting defensive over his dirtiness… you dated a boy not a man."
How often should you change your sheets? Let us know in the comments.

A woman left radio hosts mortified after revealing that she'd been cleaning her boyfriend's manhood each week for three years.

We all love to do things for our partner in a relationship such as cleaning, doing the laundry, making them delicious meals, or even just giving emotional support.
It's a beautiful way of demonstrating how much you care for your significant other, but in some cases, there is a limit to what duties you fulfill in relationships.
One girlfriend really understood that her boyfriend's love language was acts of service when she confessed that she'd been cleaning her boyfriend's manhood every week to get rid of "20 years of build-up".
Watch the girlfriend speak about her boyfriend below:
The woman opened up about the shocking confession on The Hook Up Podcast with Dee Salmin and Pip Rasmussen, and it led to some seriously discomfited reactions from the hosts.
The video on their Instagram page was aptly titled: "First there was the mental load, now there's the d**k cheese load."
"I had to clean my partner's penis for three years," the girlfriend began. "Like the foreskin on his penis didn't come back all of the way. We'd gone to a doctor and everything and they couldn't really do anything to help it and he got very funny about that sort of situation."
As if it couldn't get any worse, she then explained how she washed her partner's manhood, sharing that she used "lube and a Q-tip to clean 20-something years of build-up".
The two podcast hosts gasped in horror at what the woman was admitting and questioned why the woman's boyfriend couldn't wash it himself, but the girlfriend said that "his penis freaked him out" to the point that he "wouldn't masturbate" because of it. The hosts then said "wow" in unison.
"I'm just, like, still trying to process that this was a job in your relationship to, like, clean your boyfriend's foreskin with a Q-tip for him every week for three years," one of the hosts added.

In the comments section, many people were equally stunned by the disclosure, with one user writing: "That’s love on her part right there! The poor guy really does need surgery tho," followed by a green vomit emoji.
Another quipped: "That's enough internet for me today," while a third user remarked: "I don’t know who was more mental in that relationship."
A fourth person shared that the boyfriend needs "proper help," adding: "Hope he got it sorted out cause that would be morally crushing."
Well, we all hope the situation has changed since then and that the boyfriend has been able to work it out himself.

Dating is a minefield. Even when you get a coveted match with someone you can hold a conversation with, there's no guarantee that the two of you will hit it off in person, and even then, you have to be careful not to put a toe out of line in the early days.
It's why so many people, particularly women, are mortified at the idea of breaking wind in front of a new partner, let alone introducing them to workings of their bowls as this man did.
Yes, you read that right. A guy was left mortified after he accidentally got poop stains on a woman's bedsheets.
On a happier poop note, this is the incredible moment a whale poos in the ocean:
Taking to Twitter, the man's friend, Levi, shared pictures of the debacle that were captioned: "My mate has had a nightmare here, staying over in some girls [sic] house he's been seeing."
Explaining the situation to Levi, the man wrote: "Had a dirty whiskey sh*te came back. Must've [not] wiped my bum properly. There's shite stains on her bedsheets."
Levi then responds with a series of laughing face emojis.
It's at this point that his distressed friend replies to say that he's just sitting in her bed and covering the damage with his leg.
Needless to say, the exchange went down a storm on Twitter, and at the time of writing, it has received 25.9K likes and 2.8K retweets.
It was at this point that people offered up their suggestions as to how he could recover the situation.
One Twitter user wrote: "Ask for a strong coffee and then accidentally spill the cup on it... too late for you but happy to help future faux pas! This can also be used if you pee yourself."
Levi then provided an update from his friend, who said that he was going to have to make his escape soon because the smell was starting to become noticeable.
A Twitter user named Andy then provided a detailed analysis of the picture, writing: "Fantastic. You can see where the sheet must have been wedged right in his crevice and folded slightly in the middle."

Ah, dating. That nightmarish experience where we try as hard as possible to hide who we really are from someone in the hopes of coming across really cool and not seeming like a goofy idiot. Then one day you meet someone who, right from the off, makes you feel able to indulge in all your worst, stupidest, goofiest habits right from the off, even if it means staging ridiculous pranks that would annoy most people.
The best relationships start when you've finally found someone with the same sense of humor as you, who accepts you even when you're at your stupidest. These 30 boyfriends have staged ridiculous stunts that, yes, could be seen as irritating or attention-seeking or just plain dumb from a certain light, but also show that these must be some really fun relationships to be in!

The girlfriend who took this picture was very excited at first because her boyfriend had said he was going to make a bed frame. She naturally assumed it was so they could sleep together in a handmade bed.

I sure hope he allowed for at least an afternoon to tidy up before she got back. It looks like it was one hell of a party.
[post_page_title]#3 This Guy Photobombing His Own Wedding Photo[/post_page_title]
Wedding photos can be very formal, serious things, and that's understandable - a lot of money and planning goes into weddings, and you want the photos to be just right. This guy isn't bothered and has decided to just be himself.

Personally, I think all wedding photos should have this much silliness in them. I think this is great.

This guy's wife had been getting upset that their house didn't look very festive and saying they should put some lights up. This is what he decided to install on the front of their house.

To be fair, it's hard to get around every single chimney in the world without stopping for a toilet break at some point.
[post_page_title]#5 This Inventive Use Of Candles[/post_page_title]
This guy obviously put so much time into making a tasty-looking birthday cake that he forgot to check if they had the right candles to mark his girlfriend's 39th birthday.

His quick-thinking maths is impressive, though, as he manages to find a solution just with what he has to hand.

The baby had finally fallen asleep by the time he took the picture, but he wanted to give an impression of what he'd been like up until that point.

There's just hope there's nothing too X-rated in there that any guests or visiting family members would object to seeing!

This guy has such a close bond with his girlfriend's cat that they're able to mimic one another's expressions and do synchronized photoshoots together.

I just hope he's also this emotionally tuned-in to his girlfriend herself and not just to her cat.
[post_page_title]#9 This Car Seat Replacement[/post_page_title]
This guy had to drive his toddler to the babysitter's house, but he realized too late that his wife had left with the car seat. When she asked how he was going to resolve the problem, he sent her this...

The best relationships are the ones where you know one another well enough to be this mean, I reckon.
[post_page_title]#11 This Dog Burial[/post_page_title]
This guy decided to take his girlfriend's dog to the beach for some quality time together and even went to the effort of sending her photos of all the fun they were having together.

My favorite thing about this is how utterly resigned to its fate the poor dog seems to be.

[post_page_title]#13 This Toast Origami[/post_page_title]
When you're sick, the one thing you want is for someone to just kindly go and fetch you what you want. Even better if they do it and incorporate a high-effort, low-return pun into the proceedings too.

I'm having trouble working out how those pieces combine to form a whole slice. There are some extra bits unaccounted for, right? Or is it just me?

Some people are just very tuned into their emotions, and it doesn't take much to set them off. This guy decided to keep a record of everything that made his girlfriend cry, and it's quite the read.

I'm with her on the videos of dogs thing, to be honest. I'm in bits if I even see a dog. Lovely things.

Looks like all four teams have fairly equal control of the board at the moment, so the babies are doing very well for their first game.

Everyone's ended up having to tag along on an unwanted shopping trip at some point, whether with a parent or a partner or whatever. Not everyone has found it so terrible that they've had to resort to outside help to get out of it like this guy, though.

I wonder if he got picked up by anyone and hitch-hiked his way out of there?
[post_page_title]#17 This Incredible Christmas Outfit[/post_page_title]
This guy was told by his wife to dress up for a professional family Christmas photo shoot. I imagine she was thinking of a general smart-casual vibe with perhaps a festive twist. He was thinking of this...

It's a strong look, but hey, if you can't wear it for a professional Christmas photoshoot, there's literally no time you can ever wear it, so good on him.
[post_page_title]#18 This Gender Reveal Cake[/post_page_title]
Gender reveal parties are an odd recent fad, but the dad-to-be who went and got this cake made at least seems to understand that they're inherently a bit silly and has certainly gone with that vibe for the message.

I wonder if there were any more elderly relatives here to celebrate the imminent arrival of their grandchildren who found this less funny than others?

A total failure, as far as I'm concerned. This bit of King Kong is very dramatic and emotional and not funny or silly at all. What was he thinking?

This picture was taken by a woman who was woken by her husband late at night texting her and saying: "Wake up or I'm bringing the goats inside!" She ignored the text and went back to sleep and then was woken by this...

There must be more context to this story that explains it. They must have had a pet goat in the garden, right? Surely. Or did the husband steal a goat? It's an odd one, this.

To be fair, in this context the mustache does look pretty good. But it's a fairly specific context, I suppose.
Our exes are our exes for a reason. I mean, why be with someone who gives you grief, or is flat-out crazy, when you could happily be single? Nearly all of us have horror stories about relationships past, where our former lovers did some seriously questionable things that either had us running for the hills, or regretting that we didn't call it quits sooner. Here, the people of Reddit have revealed 10 of the most ridiculous things that their exes did to them, and boy are they bad.
1. Wow
"I had a buddy who's ex, upon breaking up, raced him back to his OWN house, got there first, and then proceeded to lock herself in HIS room for several days. I don't even think she talked much while there. She would just sneak out at night time to use the bathroom. Buddy's kind-hearted, Christian parents fed her by sliding flat foods like bologna and pancakes under the door."
2. That friend is horrible!
"I was in the process of a divorce. Not yet finalised. I was divorcing because of [my ex's] cheating. There was this somewhat vague, unclear rule that if I were to have sex with her during this time it could constitute as a reconciliation. In any case, ex is still living in the apartment with me. I get home from work and she starts to seduce me. To me this seems pretty weird as she hadn't wanted to do anything sexual with me for months. I know I shouldn't do it but she stripped down to nothing and gets really physical. Basically she strips down and starts trying to push me into the bedroom and pull my clothes off. I think for a minute, contemplating what I should do. Fortunately, I decide to walk out of the apartment. When I open the door one of her friends was standing right there with a camera. The plan was to get me in the bedroom and then have this friend film us (without my knowledge) so that she could say we reconciled (using video evidence) and could possibly then be entitled to alimony."
3. This is just weird
"My ex, when I was 20, went to my parents and told them everything we did in bed. My dad later pointed out we have some of the same tastes when it comes to sex. Then it just got awkward. I'm glad I have a chill family though."
4. 10/10 for the stick
"I once broke up with a girl over the phone. At that time she was in Mexico City (working) and me in Michigan. She was living in California originally. She immediately caught the very next flight to MI and said 'You're not breaking up with me.'
"At one point she hit me with a stick.
"We only had a few dates."
5. Ouch
"My ex reopened serveral credit cards that we had jointly but had paid off and closed before divorce, somehow she opened them back in my name and charged them to the max, then moved out of state and stopped paying her car payment. All of these things ended up getting reported to my credit years later and pretty much ruined any chance I have at decent credit for the next 7-10 years in the US. I've been divorced and lived outside the US for 8 years now and only recently found out about all these charges. I know all this can be corrected eventually but the hassle of explaining things to several credit companies and collection agencies is a major pita."
6. That escalated quickly
"Not exactly an ex, because we only went on three dates. After the 3rd date, I left to go back to London as an au-pair. The guy had his sister send me a traditional African wedding dress to my host family, and a letter stating that she was so happy for us and hoped I would visit her in Mali. I noped the f*ck out. He then had his friends and brother call me and berate me for breaking up with him, had them say I could not possibly do that because his parents had already bought the plane tickets to come see me before the wedding, and then tried to stick me with the costs for said tickets.
"I changed my cell phone number and had the host family say that I had gone back home and they had no forwarding address."
7. A+ for creativity
"I found it more hilarious than fucked up, but mine sent me a Happy Mothers Day card because she said I was the biggest mother f***er in the world."
8. Seriously
"Ex-wife, moved out while I was at basic, took all the spoons in the kitchen. Serving spoons, tea spoons, soup spoons, even measuring spoons. Left all knives, and forks. Honestly, who does that?"
9. How irritating
"Put me on the mailing and call list for every church group she could find. For two months my phone was blowing up with calls from churches and evangelicals, they wanted money, they wanted to send me bibles and pamphlets. The ones that had my address did send me bibles and pamphlets. Took a lot of patient explaining, and occasionally some frustrated yelling to get myself removed from everything."
10. Nightmare
"This is my significant other's ex. She threw herself down a flight of stairs and called the cops to say he beat her up. She would hit herself and call the cops almost weekly, so my partner installed a GPS tracker on his car to try and prove his whereabouts during the times she was accusing him of the abuse.
The absolute worst though was probably when she told him he could come over Christmas morning to see their then 2 year old daughter open her gifts only to call the police and have him arrested in front of their daughter."
Well, there you have it. Hopefully, your ex is looking a lot better right about now...
A woman has taken to Reddit to seek help and advice after she discovered that her boyfriend doesn't wipe his butt after going to the bathroom.
In a post on the social media website, the woman said that her boyfriend told her his high fiber diet was the reason he was able to forego this basic feature of personal hygiene.
This influencer was hospitalized with Covid-19 days after licking a toilet:
Taking to Reddit to seek advice and help from others, the 21-year-old wrote: "I lurk on Reddit a lot and my boyfriend doesn't, so I sometimes tell him about entertaining/interesting posts I see on here.
"Usually it's just memes or funny stuff, but sometimes it's threads on here that are about really wild relationship drama.
"The other day I read out loud a thread about someone whose boyfriend didn't wipe his ass after pooping and would get streak stains on his underwear.
"I expected him to laugh but he just kind of started [sic] at me for a second and said 'well it's because he doesn't get enough fiber'."
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Pexels]]
She continued: "I asked what he meant and was like 'if you have enough fiber, you have solid poop that breaks off cleanly and you don't need to wipe'.
"I was stunned. Sometimes he likes to troll me so I thought that was the case, but he was dead serious.
"I asked him if he doesn't wipe and he said he has good nutrition so there's no need.
"I kept insisting that there's always going to be some residue and that you need to use toilet paper after pooping, and he just got mad and said I need to take fiber supplements since obviously [sic] I must have loose stools and he said I was 'projecting.'
"I was just going to drop it, but he went grocery shopping the other day and BROUGHT HOME SOME FIBER SUPPLEMENTS FOR ME."
[[imagecaption|| Credit: Pexels]]
The woman continued: "He laughed and said that I should be glad he chips into the cost of toilet paper, since I'm the only one who needs it.
"I got frustrated and said he was being a d***, but he said he was joking (about the toilet paper, not the supplements) and that I was being too sensitive.
"I said I was really grossed out by him not wiping and I've felt unattracted to him since then... we've had sex twice since then but I wasn't into it at all and couldn't get turned on.
"I want to tell him this but I know he'll just get mad again and make fun of me.
"Should I just drop the subject or insist he start wiping? I don't want our sex life to suffer and I'm tired of him talking about f****** fiber, but now I'm wondering if I *am* just acting crazy."
