Has anybody ever had 'the ick' and recovered?

[NeedALittleThyme]

After analysing things, I've realised that I have 'the ick' towards DP and have done for perhaps a few months.

My question is, has anybody ever had that with their partner, but moved past it and gone on to have a long happy relationship? Specifically I guess, meaning if the other partner doesn't have the same feelings (or lack thereof) and wants to 'fix' things.

Yes. But I don’t think my story will be helpful.

I was vile and depressed. I had confirmation bias that I had the Ick. I behaved horribly. I thought we’d split up but luckily he was patient, I got treatment and counselling etc and started seeing things more clearly.

Obviously much more to it but the gist was that it was my problem and once I made the effort with myself and the marriage the Ick dissolved.

Btw my Ick was that he was ageing badly gaining weight and letting himself go.

I don't think that's unhelpful - thank you. I'm glad that you managed to work through it, and he sounds lovely

I guess it depends which specific things have combined to create the ick!
