In hindsight, what gave you the ick? (Lighthearted)

The other day I remembered that ex DH would turn the water r off halfway through showering, and for some reason this gave me a belated ick.
i
s trousers were always too short too.

Why are these making me want to throw up 😂 if I ever split up from my partner I don't think I'll bother looking for a new one 🤢😂

crossstitchingnana · 26/11/2022 10:07

These are hilarious and stomach churning in equal measure.

noodlezoodle · 26/11/2022 10:17

I'm so sorry you've all had to go through these various indignities, but thank you for sharing because I'm beside myself laughing.

Tired66 · 26/11/2022 10:43

Another Geordie Shore one, the guy telling his girlfriend, ' Good girl' after she gave him a bj 🤢

My ultimate ick is men with long fingernails - 🤮

You haven't seen long toenails, then.
I swear he could have climbed trees with them.😱

My ex would often choke on steak. So he'd be at the kitchen sink coughing and trying to dislodge the food and between spitting in the sink and violent coughs tell me - it's ok, you carry on eating because I'd stopped because my food was threatening to come back too!

Sorry to derail the thread but my partner passed away a week ago from oesophagus cancer and this is the way it started.

My ex-husband used to do this thing where he would dress up in his own clothes and act like a complete asshole.

🤣🤣🤣. I had one of those too

LindaEllen · 26/11/2022 11:49

I was thinking about this recently, and EVERYTHING gave me 'the ick' with him by the end.

His accent.. (he was scouse, but used to big it up for certain words that are typically strong in that accent).

The way he cracked his knuckles constantly.

The way he abbreviated my name to 'Linny' - no thank you. I'm Lin or Linda. Either will do!

He used to do impressions, but without saying he was going to do it, or telling anyone who it was. So we'd be sitting there with my friends or family and he'd just suddenly change his accent and mannerisms. Didn't make sense whatsoever and it really pissed me off.

Inarightpickleandpreserve · 26/11/2022 12:03

I had sex with this dude once. As he was finishing at the critical moment, he blurted out ‘yes I am the winner’
i left asap, blocked and then received a message via SM asking why I didn’t respond to his text messages.
blocked him on everything. Repellant ick.

Gatekeeper · 26/11/2022 12:08

bloke who had pursued me for some time bought tickets for a band I was mad on. He turned up wearing suit trousers, shirt and tie with a band t-shirt over the top. Once there he ruined it for me for singing slong but saying the wrong words and dancing like he was folding sheets!

KitchiHuritAngeni · 24/11/2022 12:42

I've literally just ended something before it started because he kept saying "teeties" instead of sweets or sweeties, and kept on 'accidently' rubbing past me and saying "sowwy, hope that didn't turn you on".

No it fucking didn't 🤢

I know I gave an ex the ick (many years ago) because he would be in the throws of whatever he was doing and would try and be all sexy and say "any requests" and I would ALWAYS say something like "can you do boom boom boom by the outhere brothers" or similar, then pissed myself laughing 🤣🤣 killed the mood every time but I couldn't stop myself.

😂

An ex boyfriend:

He made sex noises 🤢
The way he walked so nonchalantly and casually in my flat doing weird things with his hands

What were the weird things with his hands? I'm imagining all sorts of strangeness 😂

SomeChickensAreJustTooBig · 26/11/2022 14:33

AthenaPopodopolous · 26/11/2022 09:23

Walked into the bedroom to find him with a leg up on the bedside table, wanking into a manky old towel he must have found under the bed.
fucking gross

Sorry but I am laughing out loud, alone in my room, at this 😂😂 God some of these men are truly revolting 🤢

Whichwhatnow · 26/11/2022 00:19

No and I don't want to give him any ideas!

I saw it once on a now defunct woman’s forum. Some husband had done it. It was very funny. 🙈

Mine too!

dontforgettofloss · 26/11/2022 17:08

One ex of mine:
Had a wart on his penis, it used to get stuck between my teeth sometimes 🤢
Told me about how his ex and he split up, apparently she told him he had bad breath, he then breathed in my face to ask if it smelt.
Same ex was a terrible kisser

Another one had pet budgies, and one day when I was round at his, I noticed a stray budgie feather on his head, that for some unknown reason was the beginning of the end for me.

Danni675 · 26/11/2022 17:09

I think I’m going to throw up.

calmama · 26/11/2022 17:20

Oh, I remember one. He was a successful guy who had moved back to his home country after living abroad for a number of years. About 30. Yet he wore undies his mum bought him. Which were the kind you find in packs of five. Bright coloured red and blue budgie smugglers (think superman colours).

linny in an exaggerated scouse accent was grounds enough to put this one back on the shelf!

GreenJeep101 · 26/11/2022 17:29

I dated a gorgeous Japanese man many decades ago, he was involved with the local mafia, so it was all very exciting, but he used to say 'toilet time' (in English) and go mincing off to the bog. Ruined the vibe.

Snorted at this.
I sort of imagined Mr Burns style limp hands when I read it.

OakTreex · 26/11/2022 22:22

Left crusty wank socks on the bedroom floor.

Ordered a hot chocolate, complete with squirty cream, marshmallows and glittery dust stuff. Like he was a 7-year-old child.

I had to laugh at that one. The Peter Pans of the dating pool.
