Wife disgusted at husband’s ‘revolting’ bed habit, considers divorce over hygiene

One man's "revolting" habit in bed has left his wife at the end of her tether.

In many relationships people have pet peeves or something partners do that absolutely grinds their gears.

For some it’s leaving the toilet seat up, not changing the hand towels once it’s damp, not rinsing their dirty dinner plates, or not folding the washing correctly.

For the most part these are forgivable annoyances. But one wife has outed her husband for a habit she finds so disgusting, it’s left her considering divorce.

Taking to the group Mumsnet, the woman explains she loves her husband and they have had a great relationship for years, but there is one thing he has started doing that she finds absolutely revolting, and has led to them arguing over it every day.

In a thread titled “Divorce over workwear in bed”, the wife detailed that her husband, who is a chef, often goes to bed in his dirty work clothes.

“Tonight after a short day at work my husband decided to get into bed, that I just washed yesterday, in his work clothes.

“To make this worse he’s a chef and we argue about this nearly every day.

“Am I being unreasonable to divorce him over this? Outside of this he is usually okay, but grew up in a very dirty home.”

Tthe wife detailed that her husband, who is a chef, often goes to bed in his dirty work clothes.

Though she did state it was a “light-hearted” post, many commentators were quick to defend her stance.

Many agreed that given the nature of his job, going to bed in uniform is “revolting”.

One wrote: “This is gross. Clothes from working in a kitchen stink and are covered in an oily film. Has he always been this revolting?”

“That’s a f***ing revolting sweaty mess. Do you have a spare room? Move him to it until he learns how to behave. Trust me it works,” a second said.

Another wrote: “This would be unacceptable for me. Can you tell him that you need him to have a bath or shower, then leave clean PJs out. I get he’s tired but I just changed the bed yesterday too and would be passed off if he did it!”

A fourth claimed, “This would be an ultimate deal-breaker for me.”

The wife has since posted an update explaining that the next day he changed the sheets and apologised for jumping into bed without changing.

However, she said it still “drives me insane” because he “has a tendency to go straight to bed when he’s tired”.

Some readers said while the husband’s actions weren’t hygienic, they understood how demanding being a chef can be.
