My husband and I have separate bedrooms but he doesn't snore – people don't believe how messy he is, but here's proof
KID YOU NOT My husband and I have separate bedrooms but he doesn't snore – people don't believe how messy he is, but here's proof WE all have our different standards of tidiness, but when this woman discovered just how messy her husband really is things took a strange turn. Faith Baer, 29, from the US, recently went viral on social media after she revealed the reason behind her having a separate bedroom to her spouse. 2 Faith ended up giving her husband an ultimatum Credit: tiktok/@mamabaerr 2 The mum left viewers stunned when she showed why she has a separate bedroom Credit: tiktok/@mamabaerr The mum-of-two left viewers stunned when she showed inside her husband's bedroom and there was so much mess and rubbish the floor was barely visible. From dirty laundry, empty bottles and packets, overflowing boxes of junk and even used tissues - the bedroom was enough to make anyone want a room of their own. In the clip, which has amassed over 3.1 million views, Faith then showed off her bedroom, and it couldn't be more different. A freshly made bed with clean linen, organised shelves and not a single item disregarded on the floor made it clear the couple couldn't be more different. But viewers of the clip thought Faith shouldn't put up with the mess, even in a separate room. "Yeah, me and my husband would have separate houses, and separate lives because he would not be my husband," one person commented on the TikTok. A second agreed: "Are you married to a teenage boy or perhaps some previously undocumented species of orangutan? Leave." "You haven't got a husband you've got a squatter, praying for a speedy divorce or at least therapy," another chimed in. Faith, who tied the knot with her husband at just age 16, went on to update her followers and revealed she gave her partner a two week deadline to clean his bedroom, or else divorce. Now, two weeks on from that update, the mum revealed she is finally calling it quits after he failed to clean just his bedroom. Teen Mom Mackenzie McKee still married to ex Josh despite believing they'd divorced as she's expecting twins with fiance To the soundtrack of the song ManChild by Sabrina Carpenter, Faith inspected the bedroom to find little had changed. "Did he even try? Doesn't look much different," she wrote over the video. The mum then threw her wedding ring onto his stained mattress before walking out the door. As for her husband, Faith revealed he didn't take it too poorly, and even thanked her. In a shared text message, he said: "Thank you for giving me the push I needed to get back into therapy. I feel supported and like I will build the positive tools necessary to succeed and have a positive trajectory thanks to you." Meanwhile, TikTok users praised Faith for sticking to her word and putting her foot down. One said: "Enjoy your single era, Queen! You deserve every happiness and true peace." "I don't think you'll have divorce regrets, you'll be too busy living your best life," another wrote. Someone else agreed: "I divorced nearly 15 years ago, it was weird but I THRIVED. You will too." "Good for you. You were already doing everything anyway, he was acting like a third child. And he'll tell people the divorce came out of nowhere. Men never learn," another slammed.

Advertisement Signs your relationship is heading for a divorce Persistent Communication Breakdowns Constant misunderstandings, arguments, or a complete lack of meaningful conversation can signal deep-seated issues. Emotional Distance Feeling like roommates rather than partners, with a noticeable lack of intimacy or emotional connection. Frequent Criticism and Contempt Regularly criticising each other and showing contempt, such as sarcasm, eye-rolling, or mocking, can erode the relationship's foundation. Unresolved Conflicts Recurrent arguments about the same issues without any resolution can indicate deeper incompatibilities. Loss of Trust Trust is crucial in any relationship. If it's been broken and cannot be rebuilt, it may be a sign that the relationship is in trouble. Different Life Goals Significant differences in future aspirations, such as career goals, lifestyle choices, or family planning, can create insurmountable divides. Avoidance Preferring to spend time apart rather than together, whether through work, hobbies, or social activities, can indicate a desire to escape the relationship. Lack of Support Feeling unsupported, whether emotionally, financially, or practically, can lead to feelings of isolation and resentment. Financial Disagreements Constantly arguing about money, spending habits, or financial priorities can strain the relationship. Infidelity Whether physical or emotional, infidelity can be a major breach of trust and a sign of deeper issues in the relationship. Changes in Affection A noticeable decrease in affection, physical touch, or romantic gestures can indicate a loss of connection.

How to avoid falling for a Man Child on the dating scene & the tell-tale sign you're already seeing one without knowing
THE dating world is hard to navigate as it is, with more apps than anyone could know what to do with, ghosting, red flags and more. Now, the term 'Man Child' has been thrown in there too, as Sabrina Carpenter's latest single has singletons calling out their ex flames. 2 2 The term describes a man who acts like a child in a relationship, or just in general. That includes emotionally immature men who can't, or won't, give their partner support. They might be immature, unreliable and irresponsible, leaving you to pick up their slack - the last thing you want in a long term commitment. Luckily, dating app Hily relationship expert Dr. Marisa T. Cohen, PhD, shared with the Daily Mail the tell-tale signs to be on the lookout for if you're either trying to avoid dating a Man Child, or wondering if you're already seeing one. According to the pro, one easy way to figure out a person's emotional maturity is to pay attention to how they handle conflict in different areas of their life. 'Their answer can tell you a lot — like if they're self-aware, whether they stick it out when things get rough, and how well they keep their cool (or not)," Marisa explained. Another indicator if a potential lover is a Man Child or not is if they did the work on themselves by going to therapy and learning skills to regulate their emotions. 'You'll get a sense of what they need, how they handle things, and maybe even how they deal with stress or think about mental health,' the expert explained. Another good was is to ask your potential suitor what they're most proud of in their life. This way, the pro explained, you can hear about their big wins and how they "handled any curveballs along the way." Love Island fans call Islander a 'red flag' as he makes shock dating admission It's pretty normal to talk about past relationships when getting to know someone you might be romantically interested in, but avoiding basic questions is the key to really getting to know someone. Instead of asking when their last relationship was, for example, the dating pro suggested asking what they learned from it. 'Basically, you're seeing if they've taken time to reflect, process the ups and downs, and figure out how to do better next time,' the expert said. According to VeryWellMind, if your man doesn't help around the house you should be on high alert. "If asked to help with chores, an immature person might respond petulantly. "They might need to be bribed or demand compensation for performing tasks that are simply a routine part of keeping a home and functioning as a responsible adult." Not only that, put their partner might need to remind them to shower, brush their teeth and perform basic hygiene tasks. If a man is acting like Peter Pan, you could easily fall into the trap of being his Wendy, meaning you could end up unconsciously encouraging his behaviour by acting like his mum. You might even enjoy being able to comfort and look after him in the early days of the relationship, the pros noted. "Initially, you might have felt attracted to and enjoyed these aspects of your partner's personality. "As your relationship progressed (perhaps even to marriage), however, you might have become exhausted by, or even resentful of, your partner's immature behaviour." 15 Relationship red flags to look out for Red flags are warning signs that indicate unhealthy or manipulative behaviour. When you encounter relationship red flags, it's a good time to pause and reflect on the dynamic you really share with that person. Overly controlling behaviour Lack of trust Feeling low self-esteem Physical, emotional, or mental abuse Substance abuse Narcissism Anger management issues Codependency Inability to resolve conflict Constant jealousy Gaslighting Lack of emotional intelligence Negatively affecting your relationship with family and friends Inability to communicate openly Lack of social connection or friends For more advice and support, Relate is available: "Whether it's your relationship with a partner, a child, a family member or anyone else - we help everyone to build better relationships."
