A husband has been left furious after he found out that his wife has been using his toothbrush from time to time’.
Taking to Reddit, the man claims that his wife’s actions were ‘revolting’ as he doesn’t want to put her plaque on his teeth before going to bed.
“My wife doesn’t understand why I think it is so revolting that she uses my toothbrush from time to time. She says that it is no different to kissing her. I disagree with her on every level of consciousness,” he wrote.
The furious husband has taken to Reddit and asked other users whether they would be okay with their partner using their toothbrush.
His post was met with mixed reactions from internet users, with one person commenting: “Half the time we can’t remember which toothbrush belongs to which person – we don’t care.”
Another wrote: “It never has bothered me. I’d let any girl that I have deemed worthy of a sleepover (I’m not very picky) to use my toothbrush. I’m with your wife.”
A third said: “I don’t care if mine uses my toothbrush. I just asked him and he says he wouldn’t care either.”
A fourth wrote: “I’ve been with my husband for 16 years and it still grosses me out and annoys me when he uses my toothbrush. We’ve talked about it enough times that at this point, I almost feel like he does it on purpose.
“My solution, since talking about it doesn’t seem to help, is that I basically hide my toothbrush and I set his out beside the sink. I think it’s ridiculous that I have to guard my toothbrush but whatever.”
Someone else added: “I would prefer that my partner not use my toothbrush, and I’d rather not use hers. Toothbrushes are meant to clean off bacteria-laden plaque. That’s not the same as any saliva that gets transmitted while kissing.”
