My Husband's Boogers (Gross, right?)

Hi Ladies and Gents, Since I've been married for nearly two years now, I've lurked here a ton, but have not posted.

Hi Ladies and Gents,

Since I've been married for nearly two years now, I've lurked here a ton, but have not posted. I had an stupid argument with my husband today, and I knew I could count on this board for unfiltered advice. Please tell me if I'm being crazy, as I know I can be.

A few weeks ago, I walked into the shower and my toes squished on a bogger. I cringe now just typing that. When my husband got home, I told him what had happened, and he was offended that I assumed it was his and not mine (although I can hear him aggressively blow his nose in the shower a few times each morning...which is mostly fine.)

A few days later, I found another. I took a picture and sent it to him with a silly frowny face emoji, proving to him that this was after his shower and before mine.

When this happened AGAIN, I asked him if he could use the handheld shower head to rinse out the shower when he gets out. He agreed and said he would start putting his contacts in so he could see (cont.)

    Lol, I'm also in the minority, here. If the biggest problem you have to post about in two years is shower boogers, good for you! Maybe because I have kids already, this seems incredibly miniature in the scheme of things. Still...hilarious post!!

    Totally disgusting, but I'm not good at even hair being in our shower. ... only water and shower product should only ever be in there!

    He needs to stop blowing his nose in the shower until he can make sure he rinses everything down.

    I thought I was the only one going through something like this. My husband started blowing from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed. Boogies in the sheets, shower, car, and on anything that he is near at the time he blows. He calls it a bad habit, I think it's a compulsive disorder. It seems to be getting worse and not better.

    It makes me feel less and less attracted to him.

    I can't believe I have actually "Googled" this topic enough to land on this site and actually read and comment.

    IF you think his boogers in the shower are tough-- how about someone who blows his nose in the powder room sink and his own sink in the bathroom? This man has done this so aggressively that his nose bleeds and... try not to puke... over time, this disgusting "stuff" dries up and has to be cleaned with a toothbrush from the sink stopper.

    I've been tempted to use his toothbrush... my housekeeper doesn't clean this deep... and I occasionally have to don the rubber gloves and clean it with bleach and a heavy duty cleaning solution.

    Tonight, I "Googled" this b/c I found a bloody booger in the powder room sink.

    How can you complain if you're living a really great life (except for the boogers) with the man you love to pieces? Tonight, I was really disgusted and pissed. When he asked where I was going (I had bleach wipes in hand), I said "to clean up your disgusting bloody boogers in the powder room sink."

    Now I'm having a glass of wine... to keep from going to bed... where I know I will be pissed and probably say something more...

    I don't they will ever change ladies. AND, I think the more we say anything, the more they will do it, even secretly, to get away with it.

    I'm considering hacking my throat and leaving gross "stuff" in the sink... to see if he ever notices and asks or comments... Not really... I couldn't bring myself to do that.

    I did threaten to use his toothbrush once (in the shower)... he just said he'd kill me if I did (not really kill me).

    I don't know what if anything you can do to get a person who is 63 yo to stop doing this... it's just disgusting and I try to be away from any bathroom or sink where his temptation might present itself. I do notice he tries to subdue the level of aggressive when I'm around if we're in a small space, like a hotel room, but it doesn't change the fact that he's still doing it.

    Signed, disgusted, but really really love my husband.

    At least it's just in the shower. My husband wipes boogers on the couch, walls and other furniture. He wipes them where I sit too! Your husband says he feels shamed like a 5 year old that hasn't learned his lesson, well then stop acting like a 5 year old. You know who wipes boogers in random places? 5 year olds! No one told me that being in a childless marriage I would still be a single mother.

    Why does she have to clean up after his boogers? She's his wife not his maid. He's an adult man, not a child. The real question is why do grown ass men still act like children?

    Am I the only one laughing hysterically at this? My man of 15 years has TONS of annoying, gross habits that I quite literally just put up with. If anything, he is the nag in our relationship. I just cannot see myself sending him photos of boogers in the tub when it would take just as much energy to run the water and get rid of it. I definitely would say something to him but not turn it into a huge ordeal. (BTW- mine also blows his nose in the shower and sink, but I’ve never seen them)

    I have been with my husband for 16 years and I have been asking him to make sure his boogers get rinsed down the drain for years, it never gets better it’s gross! It’s great when I’m trying to get my kids in the tub and there is a giant obvious booger or loogie in my tub and I am gagging trying to clean the tub each night so my kids don’t get boogers in their hair (again! Yes it’s happened) he also wipes boogers on his pant legs and under the car seat which is disgusting. But the big booger thing that bothers me most is, he always has boogers all over his face and he will actually get upset at me because i back away from kisses with the explanation of boogers in your mustache, beard or all over your nose. He also refuses to wash his hands after pooping and I shouldn’t have to ask a grown ass 55 year old man to wash his hands after pooping. He gets mad at me for wanting him to wash them like I’m in the wrong.

    100% this!! It is so crazy to me that anyone would think it is ok to leave messes like this and expect someone else to clean it up.
