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.

s trousers were always too short too.

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.

for some reason the random budgie feather has me sniggering so much I inhaled my crisps

I was imagining jazz hands and “It’s showtime!”

Show quote history

That would definitely qualify! I need to know what they were....

I think I’m going to throw up.

Me too.

Some of things I've read and they are not even exes they are current partners 😱.

Not too long ago I was seeing a guy who had the mankiest teeth, proper tea-stains on them.

He was the tightest bastard ever, so I'm guessing he's never paid for a hygienist even though he's got a good job, and earned over £50k which was more than me at the time, plus he had a smaller mortgage than me and no kids.
The tightness was a major ick on it's own obviously.

However he was a bloody amazing kisser and his breath never smelt and I was long term single so I used to meet up for a shag every now and then.

If I was on top I used to just stare at those teeth almost in a transfixed way and in my brain I used to be thinking 'Emily you are shagging a hobo' and be completely laughing at myself at the mess that my love-life was that I was shagging a middle aged man who hadn't worked out how to floss yet (I don't think he'd ever had a proper girlfriend to polish him up).

So less of the ick and more of an existential crisis....
