I Actually Think I Lost All Faith In Men After Learning Some Of The Things Women Have Accidentally Found In Men’s Homes

“I was 19 and had been dating a 27-year-old for a few months who always insisted we stay at my place. I didn’t think much of it then because I’d much rather be in the comfort of my home than someone else’s. When I finally convinced him to take me to his place, I discovered he lived on his friend’s property in a tiny camper with no running water or a/c. I had to pop a squat and pee/poop outside where the neighbors could see because he didn’t want to disturb his friend in the middle of the night.”

“I found out that my boyfriend was only showering if he stayed at my place because his friend would only let him in his place to shower once a week. I should’ve considered this a red flag, but I didn’t and stayed with him for months after that. I didn’t leave him until I woke up once in the middle of the night, in the dead heat of summer, to a rat eating my Pop Tart. When I tried to wake him up and tell him, he told me I was imagining things. I grabbed my stuff, put the Pop Tart next to his bed so he’d see the rat bites, and left.”
