‘Housemate rather than partner, but I witnessed him spill something on the kitchen floor, pick up the tea towel, wipe the floor with it, and then hang it back up, so that the next person would unknowingly use a filthy cloth to dry their dishes. He had no concept of why this was the wrong thing to do.’

‘My ex not once, not twice, but thrice sautéed and served me a cucumber thinking it was a zucchini. He had never learned to cook and was learning how to boil spaghetti.’

‘Turned out my wife didn’t own any actual wool jumpers, only cotton and polyester. Found this out when she did some laundry and put a couple of my nice jumpers in on a 60 degree wash, and they came out so small even she couldn’t fit in them.’

‘He still does this 14 years later, despite me getting irate about it: Not finishing the last of something and starting on a new pack/bottle/tub/tin.
‘The worst is milk and cat food. If there’s not enough in the open bottle to fill his pint glass, he will just start the new bottle. If there’s not enough food in the open cat food tin to feed both cats, he will open a new tin. He just abandons the open stuff. I’m not sure what he thinks will happen to it.’

‘First time he washed the floors he took the mop and the bit you squeeze the mop through out of the mop bucket, filled the bucket with warm water and fabric conditioner and then used an old towel to clean the floor, going around the whole of the ground floor on his knees. Three years later he still does it this way.’

‘When we moved out of our first rented place together, moved the bed and found all his nail cuttings from 18 months of living there down by the skirting board. He used to drop them down the back of the headboard.’

‘He shouted from the kitchen ‘How do I cook beans?’. Told him to put them in the microwave, he did, in the tin.’

‘My ex trying to descale sink taps with a saw. Not a little junior hacksaw, noooo. My almost new, 18-inch long wood saw that I’d bought for limbing the bigger shrubs in our garden and general woodwork jobs. I have never been so flabbergasted in my life as when I walked into that scene.’

‘Used my new set of costly high end kitchen knives to pry things open and snapped the tips off them all. Continued to do so after asking him not to. It was infuriating.’

‘We were getting ready in the bathroom together for the first time after moving in. I’m putting on my makeup in the mirror and he goes to take a piss and doesn’t lift the seat.
‘Odd’ I think, but the real kicker is after he flushes and zips up, he takes his socked foot and one-leggedly wipes the piss droplets off the seat. Then he goes about his day, walking his pissy sock foot around all over our carpets. I was flabbergasted.’

‘The things you discover after moving in! My fiancé thought it was totally fine to just toss all his wet clothes straight from the washing machine into the wardrobe. When I asked why, he said ‘Oh, they’ll dry in there.’ Like, I can’t even begin to explain how wrong that is.’

‘He ate some toast and put the plate directly back into the cabinet. I was like ‘…Aren’t you going to wash that first?’. And he proceeded to try to convince me it didn’t need to be washed because it was just dry ingredients that didn’t stick to the plate.’
