The ick

Was just watching a thing on TikTok where people were submitting particular things that had given them ‘the ick’ about partners, it was quite funny. The one that comes to mind for me is the time my ex came and sat on the sofa after a bath. He was wearing a dressing gown and was in a bad mood about something. I remember looking across at his long skinny limbs sticking out of the dressing gown and the petulant expression on his face and thinking he looks like an overgrown grumpy toddler. That was it for me, maximum ick and I ended things shortly after. Anyone else?

Years ago and friends thought I was harsh but I couldn't recover from it.

My big manly, 6ft 4, broad shouldered ex, wrote me a poem, complete with dried out flowers he had saved from the first bouquet he gave me. I don't remember the words but it was all tenderness, sensual, seduced by your eyes, under the stars etc.

I found it such a turn off.

@Lacedwithgrace

I went on a date with a now successful singer who awkwardly jogged from our picnic blanket to his car (first ick) to get his guitar, serenaded me with a shit rendition of wonderwall, then looked to the sky and thanked god for giving him the gift of music. Yuck
Was it Ed Sheeran? It was wasn't it? He gives me the ick.

@Myrrhis

Lace ups or slip ones? 😂
Lace ups, which was a slight saving grace.

Back to his and on the floor were his work trousers and his pants as he had stepped out of them earlier in the day.

First, his pants were huge and second, OMG the skid marks! I couldn't take my eyes off them and had to get up and walk to the window in order to do so. While I was there he booted them under the bed but it was etched on my brain I tell you! They looked like he had worn them for days if not longer.

If he can't wipe his own arse better than a two year old or put his rancid stained Reg Grundies in the laundry basket I'm done and I was. I arranged an out phone call and I was unavailable from then onwards.
Bleurghh!

Not a chance! He has brown hair and wears a denim jacket- that's all you're getting!

@LiveatCityHall Ew no! He gives me the ick too Envy not envy!

One boyfriend had been to work and had dirty fingernails and ate McDonald’s without washing his hands and he had a long black coat with a gold lining. Double ick
Have often wondered about him 30 years on

@MrsWhites

When I was really young I went on a date, very let’s just see if I like him type of thing so when he suggested Pizza Hut I thought he was just trying to keep it light and casual. Anyway, at the end of the meal he whipped out the receipt and worked out to the penny how much each of us owed....including the additional toppings I had on my pizza!
This reminds me aged 15 on a date where his mum had made a picnic for us he proceeded to check the manufacture dates and times on both packets so he could ‘have the freshest pack’ for himself Absolute dickhead

Was sort of shagging a friend and he made it really clear he wanted more. I didn't think I did. Definitely didn't after a night out where we were both spannered and he twisted his ankle. Went back to mine, had sex, then in the morning he went for a really smelly shit and shouted me to help him off the bog?! Envy < boak, not envy.

Grin that’s funny
SomepeopleareTERFSgetoverit · 19/12/2021 09:27

Really? The demonstration that in his head he’d been playing out some incest fantasy makes you laugh?

BrimFullOfAsher · 24/12/2021 17:17

@IvoryViolets I laughed at it too.
