Here’s what they had to say:
1.
“He won’t flush the couch; he just sits down.
I was so tempted to leave a saucy plate on the couch and see what happened.
Habit finally ended when he sat on a laptop.”
u/harpy4ire
3.
“He and his roommates NEVER took out the trash.
Every great once in a while, they would rent a U-Haul to take it to the dump.
It was so confusing to me, but I didn’t know how to help them break the cycle.
Nice guys, but sheesh.”
u/callm3caroline
4.
“Eating cereal with water, not milk.”
When I moved in with him, we started by deep cleaning his place.
He was then absolutely shocked when he realized I expected him to clean and tidy regularly.
Thank God he’s somehow improved!"
u/auroreboreale22
6.
“My husband folds towels while they are still wet and puts them away.
Its absolutely disgusting.”
u/keyspam102
7.
“He would bite his nails and drop the little pieces all over the apartment.
He moved out six months ago, and I’m STILL finding fingernail bits in weird places.”
“They didn’t know how to turn on a stove, microwave, washing machine, or dryer.
The habit was pathological lying and weaponized incompetence, but I only learned those terms after.”
u/krasavetsa
9.
“He literally undresses as he walks around the house.
u/kmccain9
10.
“My girl loves peanut butter so much that she has a tub of it next to the bed.
And on the coffee table.
And in her office.
None of these tubs have lids, and they are always open with a spoon in them.
I still love her like crazy though.”
I didn’t understand what the white specks were at first.
This has since stopped after it sent me into a rage.”
u/okbutwhythough16
12.
“Garbage bags of weed on the bed.
He neglected to tell me he was a drug dealer.”
u/birdwingsbeat
13.
“He didn’t change his bedsheets… ever.
Now he changes them regularly, but damn, that was a wild thought.”
“My husband organizes something every day.
It’s the most random box in the back of the closet or re-folding his clothes.
At first, my thought was, WTF??
?, but now I realize it’s one way he relaxes after a long day.
He’s adorable.”
u/quickwitless
15.
“She sprints up and down the stairs.
She hates being on the stairs, so she makes it as fast as possible.
It’s wild to watch her calmly walk to the stairs and then just automatically start sprinting.”
u/zwolley
16.
But…man, that difference was staggering.
Then, my girlfriend moved in with me, and it was all gone within minutes.
“My ex-husband used to suck his thumb.
I caught him doing it one night.
It was so bizarre seeing this big man covered in tattoos sucking his thumb.”
u/ambassadorwilling479

19.
“She squeezes the toothpaste from the middle.”
They dry up quickly and become crunchy, sharp little eye germ blights.
Absolutely unthinkable to me."
u/skinnymatters
21.
He would only turn it up when we bought ice cream or popsicles."
u/queenkitty96
22.
At my moms house, candles were just for looking at.
You never actually lit them."
“My now-husband would buy packs of socks and underwear, wear them, and then toss them.”
u/diceypisces
24.
“My wife makes no effort to squeeze out any remaining toothpaste.
u/mental_guarantee8963
25.
“He is a neat freak.
He gave up after six months and bought a Roomba.”
“He would pee in the sink instead of walking ten more feet to the bathroom.
He is my ex now.”
u/arthropody
27.
“Cut up pizza using scissors like it was the most normal thing in the world.”
u/thefuturesbeensold
28.
“After my fiance is done brushing her teeth, she just…stops.
No washing the toothbrush out, no rinse and spit.
She was equally surprised that I don’t do it like this!”
29.And finally, “My ex would wipe his teeth with the towels in the bathroom.
And his plaque would leave crusty yellow stains on them, which made them gross to use.”
