Reasons why you got the ick

[NoEffingWay]

To start with, just to confirm this is lighthearted

I have had a few over the years:

1. wore a yellow coat. He looked like a banana with 90's sunglasses
2. would burp and then declare he was 'bilious' 🤢
3. had clammy hands, it was like holding hands with a damp sponge

All were passion killers, and the second was enough to whip out the divorce papers. Reader, I married him before he turned into Steptoe! (Couldn't put that on the application form but came close )

1. How did some of you end up in marriages/serious relationships with these men?
2. Who are the mothers of these men, god I would be mortified if my son was ever thought of like this!

Purple nylon Y fronts did it for me ☹

After reading this thread my DH is suddenly looking like the catch of the century 😄

I had a serial sex sweater once. The bed was like a giant wet sponge afterwards and the sweat dripping onto me off his face made me heave. It actually put me off sex for ages.

Yes that's what I thought too, Neanderthals would have more charm, and better looks.

After reading this thread my EX is suddenly looking like the catch of the century.

I've got 'the ick' more while getting to know someone than in long term relationships. There is really nothing my bf could do to make me feel repulsed by him (apart from obvious things, like committing crimes or something).

I'd just come out of a long term relationship and was flattered that this guy gave me attention, he sent me flowers etc! After a month I wised up and realised I couldn't go out with a guy who a) walked at 2km/hour and b) ate exclusively Heinz. He actually dumped me (it was a LDR) and it took him an hour on the phone to do it. I remember the exact day and time as I was watching the final episode of Brookside on the TV and I was pissed off 🤣

In fact, we don’t, we are talking about dates.

Having said that, I hear my married friends talking about their amazing husbands and I thank the universe for being divorced… the amount of shite women can put up while thinking their husbands are great and wonderful fathers is staggering.

@IloveRickyGervaisAndHisTeeth did his name begin with L? 🤣🤣 Sounds like something I could imagine my ex doing!

Got another one last night, texting a guy from OLD, getting to know him. Not yet met. He's been a bit flirty but nothing inappropriate. Trying to schedule a date, he says he's busy this weekend but could do next. Asked what he was up to, making conversation. His reply is that he's playing a match then off to the pub to 'try to get laid' 🤢 major ick. I appreciate that's what a lot of single people are likely up to, but don't say that as part of casual convo with someone you're hoping to date!

😲😲 I guess you're binning that one then!

Definitely binning @red78hot shame as he seemingly had potential!

I can't stop thinking about the shitty skid mark on the sheet! Are there really men that bad?

I had one that left something that I can't quite describe as a skidmark. I could smell something in bed and thought he'd shit himself. He must have not wiped at all.

I didn't include it in my post as ick doesn't really cover it 😆

How did some of you end up in marriages/serious relationships with these men?

1. Who are the mothers of these men, god I would be mortified if my son was ever thought of like this!

In my case, the knobby ick-making behaviour didn't start, or wasn't revealed, until after a few years of marriage and the birth of our first child. His mother is a truly strange and actually quite unpleasant woman, hiding behind a respectable exterior, and she'd probably just give a nervous little laugh if she heard about it - or, more likely, deny that it ever happened.

I was reading these and laughing and DP asked what was so funny. I explained, and he told me about a former pal of his who said one day, angrily, 'Why can't I get a girl friend?'. DP didn't have the heart to say 'Because you're overweight, balding at 30, and ginger, and the long nose hairs poking out of your nostrils are dripping with green snot from your cold'.

Been dating about a month. He stayed over at mine. I got up to go to work and left him sleeping in my bed (I had a job, he didn't - first ick).

While I was at work he called me in a panic because he'd had a bath at my house and the plug was stuck in the plug hole and he couldn't get it out. That was the second ick.

Third ick was when he told me with a shit-eating grin on his face that he got a 'boner' on the tube because he was 'thinking about what we done'.

That was me done.

Different guy: gave me the ick when he asked me to show him how to cook an oven pizza.

When he finished he let out a very feminine little 'ooh' noise

🤣🤣🤣

Some of mine that come to mind: a guy who wore lots of hair oil and - I came to realise after getting a close look - not only had a majorly flakey scalp (like, huge crusts) but also dyed his hair black. I also realised afterwards he must’ve dyed his goatee too 🤢 as sometimes it had a few grey hairs and other times it didn’t. I finally found the guts to end it when we had sex for the first time and he spat as he came! I look back on this “relationship” with absolute horror - I don’t know what I was thinking.

One who referred to the huge zits on his back as “custards” and asked me to squeeze them. Also was losing his hair (at age 20) and gelled his fringe into 5 or 6 separate strands.

Another who had stroppy, weepy tantrums like a 5 yr old, especially when his football team lost. When I finished things with him he cried and wailed like a baby then flung his arms around like Kevin the teenager and (accidentally) slapped our baby, whom I was holding, across the face. I knew at that moment I’d never let him near me ever again.

The worst ex I had was a ket addict. Whenever he took ket he just disappeared into another realm and would sit on the floor in the corner of the room staring into space, he had no idea I was even there. I left a few times because he was totally unresponsive and I’d get a call an hour or so later asking where I was… He also had snot pouring from his nose whenever he took it. Occasionally took it and didn’t disappear into a hole but would get aggressive with me instead, had me pinned up against the wall by my throat more than once and threatened to murder me a handful of times.

He was an awful pig in many other ways but that was the main ‘ick’ for me. I was young and stupid, I would not put up with that shit now. Stuck it out with him for almost a year somehow, absolute idiot I was.

😂

You like ick? I’ll show you ick; I was dating a girl who (somewhat cruelly) verbalised her ick for me not infrequently, until finally the Fates said “enough is enough!” and caused me to shit myself fairly catastrophically while we were having sex, in a tent.
She dumped me soon afterwards, rather sweetly by letter, it was that long ago.

Hahaha at these. One guy I cancelled before the first date because he used dat and dem in text instead of that and them.

Another guy on a first date told a homeless man outside the cinema who had asked for change to get a fucking job.

Another first date. Dinner at his flat, he pulled out a guitar and sang a song at me. Mortifying and I couldn't wait to leave.

Another first date picked up his lamb chop and sucked the bone and then licked his plate. This was in a restaurant.

And best till last. Few weeks in to seeing a guy (who was sodding gorgeous so this is a shame) Had sex for the first time and as he climaxed he shouted Mmmmm yeah... mum mum mum! I shit you not. So glad I'm married now and don't have to date anymore.

I was with a Greek for a while.
All that BS about being the best lovers.
He was lazy in bed, shit in bed, selfish in bed and smoking did his willy no favours either.

I'm having a really shit day, and reading these has cheered me right up 😅
Comedy gold these posts are 😆
