Someone Asked What Weird Habits Partners Hid Before Moving In And 35 Folks Had Some Dirty Secrets

I didn't move in with him I just stayed there a lot and cleaned up his mess a lot of times but he had pee bottles under the bed and I don't know why I didn't leave the moment I discovered it either.

Ladies, please please make pee bottles under the bed a deal breaker. 🤢.

He doesn't change his bedsheets... ever. He thought the only reason I change mine regularly was because of periods so yeah he thought men just doesn't have to change bedsheets ever. Now he changes it regularly but damn that was a wild thought.

My husband organizes something every day. BUT. 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.

She let her dog use the carpet as a toilet. Like she wouldn't take this dog out at all, the carpet in the living room is the only place the dog would go. The floor was spongy and wet, you could expect to find poop all over, she was totally desensitized to it. She wasn't willing to start taking the dog out, so the relationship ended very quickly after this.

My husband folds towels while they are still wet and puts them away. It’s absolutely disgusting

Editing to add that he stopped doing it after I asked him, so we were able to progress with our relationship 🤣.

In the early ‘80’s. Moved in with an Iranian chick who had recently escaped from the islamic revolution. After our first weekend together, while she was in the shower, I started cleaning up the mess I helped make. I was washing the dishes when she walked in. She completely freaked out. “.. stop ..stop..what are you doing...”. And she kept looking out the window...turns out it was some kinda deadly sin for a man to do her house work...making the woman some kind of dishonorable so & so. And the worst part was she was in a complete panic that someone walking past might see me washing dishes. We just had sex all weekend . . . But me doing to dishes was a some kinda sin ???? Weird s**t for a guy from Los Angeles.

Just to clarify. This wasn’t meant to be a comment about religion. Any religion. Just some wierd s**t i experienced.

He would pee in the sink instead of walking ten more feet to the bathroom. He is my ex now.

Saving the used cat litter. Literally 15 or so 33 gallon trash bags filled with dirty cat litter from the last five years he’d lived there, all broken open and with bugs living in them in the closet next to his room.

My ex had big fingers that wouldn’t fit in his nose which he was always picking. He would use tweezers and he’d scratch the inside of his nose causing it to bleed. He would leave his boogers everywhere in the bathroom. The sink, the shower, wipe them onto the rim of the trash can. When I broke up with him and he moved out I was finding bloody boogers all over my apartment for months afterwards. It was so damn disgusting!

He would keep the TV on for background noise. As soon as we walked into the apartment, he would zoom over to the TV and turn it on and leave it like that. We inadvertently had a silent war of him turning it on and me turning it off all day. I finally realized it was slowly driving me crazy and had to explain to him that all the constant noise was hurting my brain and it was me or the TV.

I didn’t have a problem with the TV on while he’s actually watching it (at a normal volume) but him moving around the apartment with god knows what blaring from the TV was wayyyy too overstimulating. It was almost 30 years ago when we really didn’t have the language to understand or explain sensory overload, he acted like I was just being controlling. It wasn’t until we had our baby, who couldn’t tolerate all the noise, that he finally realized it wasn’t just a ‘me’ thing. We don’t even keep a TV in the living area anymore. There’s one in the guest room and one in the master bedroom. He’s much more respectful and understanding of my (and the kids’) sensory sensitivity.

She wanted me to fix her gaming chair one time because the lever to raise and lower it stopped working. So I grabbed it and flipped it upside down but my hand was grabbing something rough and crunchy. I almost puked when I realized what I was looking at and touching was months worth of her dried boogers she wiped on the bottom of the chair.

He liked to tear holes in the sheets with his toenails so he could tuck his feet into them.

She sprints up and down the stairs. She just hates being on the stairs, so she makes it as fast as possible. It’s insane to watch her calmly walk to the stairs then just automatically start sprinting.

My ex would wipe his teeth with the towels in the bathroom. Hand towels, bath towels, same towel guests used to dry their hands, same towels he used to dry his butt. In his mouth. And his plaque would leave crusty yellow stains on them, which made them gross to use.

That he would bite his nails and drop the little pieces all over the apartment. He moved out 6 months ago and I’m STILL finding fingernail bits in weird places.

The first time I lived with a woman (outside of my mom and sister growing up) I was shocked by how much f*****g toilet paper they use.


I mean, I knew that, intellectually, women have to use toilet paper all the time and men only have to use it sometimes. But...man, that difference was staggering.


When I lived alone I'd buy a twelve pack of toilet paper and no joke it might last a year. Sometimes I would go days without using the toilet paper at home because I'd do it at work or at school.


Then my girlfriend moved in with me and it was all gone within minutes. Twelve rolls. Vaporized.


I bought another twelve pack. Gone before I got inside the apartment. Literally evaporated in the car on the way home.


Costco membership. 48 pack. That lasted two days. "Are you building a f*****g mummy or something?" I was asking.


My toilet paper budget has a comma in it.

When he pops a pimple, he puts the contents on the frame of the mirror to “see it” and then forgets to clean it off. I didn’t understand what the white specks were at first.

This has since stopped after it sent me into a rage🤪

Edit: The comments have made me giggle, but to be clear it was just little white specks not huge boil like zit contents, still really gross though. I read him the comments tho so he knows the world thinks he is nasty haha.

Thankfully he is otherwise very normal and treats me like a queen.

He won't clear the couch, he just sits down. Fresh folded washing? Sit on it. Handbag? Sit on it. Paper? Sit on it. Was so tempted to leave a saucy plate on the couch and see what happened. Habit finally ended when he sat on a laptop.

Every.  Single.  Thing.  Involved her parents.

I found out years and years later that every argument, discussion, comment, etc.  was fed to her parents.  Everytime I’d make a decision, she’d consult with them and provide their unsolicited input.  Things like my career moves.

My personal favorite was when things ended how it came out that it was “financial abuse” for her to contribute half her income to household bills the first few years.  My contribution was easily 80%+.  That was early in the relationship.  Within 6 years I paid for everything.  It was such a sore subject for them I heard about it at least a half dozen times during the initial part of the separation process.

Over time I also ran across super weird s**t like official printed documentation about how poorly I loaded the dishwasher with pictures?  I could only assume this was for some bizarre custody fight she expected.

There’s a lot more.  Some of which I’m still mentally unpacking.

Oo I've got one.This was my first live-in relationship.

His mum often gave him containers of food to take home, and he forgot to take them out of the car boot... then he remembered they were there but just kept putting off dealing with it. He was driving around with a boot load of mouldy food and maggots.
