My boyfriend exposed his disgusting habit three months after we moved in together – here’s the red flag I ignored

A woman has revealed the ‘disgusting’ and ‘nasty’ habit her ex-boyfriend thought was normal – and the one red flag she ignored for months.

Anna moved in with Jacob, her boyfriend of two years, and discussed household chores where Anna said she washed her bedsheets every week.

She soon discovered that Jacob was ‘lazy, gross, and entitled’ because he thought she was ‘crazy’ and ‘creating unnecessary work’ by wanting to wash bedsheets more than twice a year.

‘This was only the tip of the iceberg,’ Anna explained in a Reddit post. ‘He also never flushed the toilet. I would walk in and be greeted by his massive dumps, or step on a pi**-soaked tile.’

Jacob’s solution to ‘musty’ sheets was to spray air freshener on his bed to ‘refresh’ his bedding.

A woman shared that her ex-boyfriend only washed his bedsheets every six months

Experts say it’s essential to wash bedsheets at least once a week to prevent a build up of dust mites, which feed off dead skin cells, sweat and seminal fluid.

‘The text conversation that foreshadowed our breakup after moving in,’ Anna shared alongside a screengrab. ‘He later admitted he only washed his bedsheets twice a year.’

In the text conversation, Jacob originally claimed he washed his sheets every two months – which was still ‘disgusting’ to Anna.

‘I can’t be the only one who think this is absolutely disgusting, right? Every two months is already really gross. Only twice a year is just f**king NASTY.’

The couple also had an argument about Jacob being too cavalier with the laundry detergent despite the rising cost of living crisis. 

‘He would dump about seven loads worth of detergent for a single load,’ she explained. ‘We were constantly running out. I moved to pods to try to get him to stop, but then I caught him throwing a handful in.’

The boyfriend blasted Anna on text and expected her to do all of the household chores because he didn’t think it was necessary to regularly wash bedsheets

Anna shared that she didn’t see the signs for years because Jacob always claimed his roommate was the ‘messy’ one and panic cleaned before she went over to his house. 

‘When we discussed moving in and chore habits, he only told me what I wanted to hear. I was bamboozled.’

Thousands thought the ex’s actions were ‘repulsive’. 

‘That’s so foul – I don’t think I could share a space with someone like that,’ one wrote. 

‘When me and my wife were dating, she said she knew she loved me when i had four sets of sheets I rotated every Sunday,’ a man said.

‘How were you able to stay with this guy after this exchange? My skin is itching by reading this,’ a woman said.
