Disgusting things men do in relationships

Apparently, no woman likes to be cheated on, bad morning breaths, wearing the same underwear for days, farting, over-sized ego, lies, being taken for granted, being taken advantage of etc. These are most of the things we find disgusting in relationships, but we tend to compromise or be quiet about some, just so we don’t hurt your feelings.

Relationships they say, come with a lot of sacrifices from two connected individuals, who are willing to make things work. They tend to endure some things just to make the relationship work.

Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you’re losing yourself. Of course, you want to stay real and genuine when you’re in an intimate relationship with someone. However, you still want to do your part in putting your best foot forward. It’s always important that you are presenting your best self towards your partner. Men do a lot of disgusting things in relationships while being completely oblivious of the fact that their partners may find them quite obnoxious. Some of those disgusting things, I took my time to outline.

Morning bad breath While some may find it romantic, especially to kiss her in the morning without brushing; many others fare not comfortable with it . Wearing the same underwear for days Exactly! ‘Eww’! That’s what I believe everyone should say too. It’s completely disgusting and I strongly believe no woman likes this. It’s wrong! It’s gross! We women find it disgusting! Please stop! There’s no justification to this. It’s only right you change your underwear EVERYDAY. That way, you save your partner the stress of continually inhaling filth and treatment of infection. Nothing is as sexy and attractive as a clean Man. Ego Ego: Every human’s sense of self-worth or self-importance.

It’s present in every human being – no doubt. However, it gets unattractive and even disgusting to women when you possess an enormously unnecessary sense of importance. You think of yourself as the best thing to ever happen to the woman on planet earth. You rub it in the face of your partner and may even tend to demean her in the process. Some even go as far as abusing their partners over trifle faults because they think they own them. A lot of women may endure this, perhaps for her unending love for you, or for what you guys share together.

Or even for any other reason whatsoever. Many women endure to keet relationship on. For whatever it is – it’s wrong! I personally find it disgusting! Some women shared their thoughts on this topic. “God! I can’t stand a man that doesn’t shave his pubes! Like how do you go months without shaving? Like do you own bacteria ‘farm’? And the annoying part is that, some of these men will request a shaved vagina but carry vegetable farms down there. To say it disgusts me is an understatement. I can’t deal with it”, said one Bimbo from Lagos. “Not being able to say sorry when he’s wrong because of his stupid ego. Its even worse when it’s glaring that he’s wrong, but he won’t apologize because he feels it makes him weak – very disgusting”, said one Mimi from Abuja. “Farting in my presence is particularly annoying and disgusting to me no matter the gender. Maybe because we were raised not to fart where people are.

This is very controversial, as some will argue that it’s only cute for couples to ‘enjoy’ each others farts, while others may find it both gross and disrespectful, as there’s no justification to such act. It gets worse if it’s done in public. Just check with you partner and if they don’t have issues with it then good for you both,” Said Bundo from Abuja. “When you make every effort to keep the home neat and tidy and he ends up joining the kids in making a huge clutter. I used to ignore at first, but now it’s starting to disgust me, as I am tired of talking to him about it – he just wouldn’t change”, said one Stephanie from Lagos. “I hate men who cheat. They’re like dogs to me. Sometimes I see them as pigs. Why would you make a commitment to be with someone, but you end up being a ‘community pe-is’? Some go as far as having multiple side partners. It’s so wrong.

This is the position of Monica from Portharcourt. For Ifeoma who lives in Abuja, “what disgusts me is  feeling of some authority over a woman’s life e.g..one guy that that said he wanted to marry me years back… Very rich I must say.

But I borrowed ajunwa (ran for my life), when the dude started going on about how he was going to buy me a platinum gold ring and make me so happy, that I would be managing one of his boutiques in Awka and be in charge of the apprentices around that area.

This man didn’t, for one minute, think it was necessary to ask me what I wanted or if I even I wanted to run his boutique.. He was just there dictating what he wants for me. Oby in Lagos put hers this way: “Mine is particularly men that deceive girls with marriage just to sleep with them. Some even go as far as meeting your people and paying your bride price. After getting what they want, they leave you. I find that extremely disgusting!

The Email That Ended My 20 Year Marriage

The message began,

“While I know now that continuing the marriage is not in my best interest…”

Just one sentence to explain our two decades together.

I was allowed in the marriage as long as it was to his benefit.

I’d already known we were over. I’d started stepping away months earlier, but I’d stayed a participant just long enough to keep my lifestyle safe.

I needed time to plan my exit — stash cash, retain an attorney, get as many credit cards as my decent credit score would allow. All the things to keep me afloat for what would be the biggest battle of my life.

Three weeks prior to that email I’d changed the locks. Although not totally legal, it was necessary. Turns out having your name on the house deed trumps erratic, stalking behavior.

His actions had become more wild, his behavior more scary. His stalking had increased and when that was taken from him when I disabled the cameras, he forced his way into the home he had so enthusiastically left eleven months earlier.

A home that no longer welcomed him.

Once again, I was in a position to remove guns from my home to keep me and my children safe. I was willing to ask the courts for forgiveness since the law would not protect us.

As soon as I shut off the house cameras and disengaged the Life360, I knew things would get hostile. His actions early in the separation told me he would be enraged as soon as he lost control.

Not long after he moved out he stopped by the house at 5am to drop off a pillowcase in the mailbox. He later admitted it was just an excuse to drive by and see if there were any cars near the house that he didn’t recognize. I would also catch him driving by at random times, just to make sure the house wasn’t occupied by another man.

Just weeks before the end, he turned to playing the role of a jealous lover. Trying to track my whereabouts — desperately calling, texting, pleading.

He was like a dog in a cage. Biting and thrashing until he would finally succumb to the exhaustion.

I just had to wait him out.

The race was on.

He had also been planning his exit — setting up a new bank account with $15k of our money, purchasing a new car and opening new credit card accounts.

He had been leaving since he walked out. But at the time I wasn’t ready or willing to give up. I was the toddler holding on to the leg of their parent as they tried to leave the house. I would not let him go easily.

Until I was ready.

And then, as Taylor Swift so perfectly puts it, I dropped his hand.

Eventually, I would stop trying to save our abomination of a relationship. We never could walk together side by side. One of us was always chasing. Mostly me.

Only when he saw me leaving did he start running back.

I was careful and deliberate in my exit. I saved every communication. Every text message. Every email. Every phone call.

My super power became my willingness to track the minutiae.

It was a miserable, humid July day when I delivered his goodbye email to my attorney. It turned out to be the perfect gift. Because it was something she could pull out over and over and over again during the trial.

“Your Honor, I believe she has proven the date of separation by providing the message that he wrote himself ending their marriage.”

The date of that message was the most important date of my trial. It gave me 10 extra months of a growing retirement plan. 10 extra months of a share of a military retirement. 10 extra months of a marriage.

That sentence at the beginning of his email would secure the date of the end of my marriage not through just one trial, but through two.
